Highwayman with detachable fur collar?

[sshack]

Hi, I was thinking of adding a white mouton fur collar (detachable) to my Black FQHH Highwayman on order. Has anyone done this to their Highwayman? Would love some feedback!! I would rarely keep the fur collar on, but like that I have the option.

Do it. You'll love it when you need it, and I bet it'd look great. Aero do this nicely.

I've just ordered a black cafe racer with a detachable black shearling collar. The question isn't whether to do it, but what colour and either fur or shearling! For £60 it's great to have the option. If anyone has any more pics I too would love to see them, there's not a great number of white on black pics out there.

The nice thing is you can get more than one color. If you have the money, you can have a number of looks for the price of an added collar.

Oh, wow. It didn't even occur to me. I went with an off-white shearling collar, but can get another one as well... my wallet curses you.

Go for it! Just got my cordovan Highwayman refitted with a detachable dark brown collar back from Aero. I was concerned that the collar would give me a bad-a**-ghetto-pimpish appearance, but it didn't. It has taken the jacket up to a new level or class, I think. The jacket is now even more versatile. The fur sleeve needs a bit breaking in as well as it stands quite high on the neck. The best thing is that the sleeve also fits my LW Suburban perfect as well.
Good luck

And another one gone... another one bites the dust...

Don't worry, I'm talking about myself too. I'm doing my custom buying on the domestic side for now but I know sooner or later...

Funny, increasingly Aero strike me more as 'dealers' than 'producers', tending to and feeding our habits out there. Next thing you know there'll be a wish-list page on their website. Then we'll be in real trouble...

I was thinking "no money down lay away". I recall my mom used to do that as kids. The precursor to credit as we know it today.

How about Green Stamps!

I can just imagine Will's consternation: Amanda: "We've got 50 orders for barnstormers and 30 half-belts, all lay-aways. We'd better get busy." Will: "Hmmm."

We did that too. It was fun really. I think we always got electric blankets for winter and kitchen appliances S&H stores were kinda cool when we were little...

Seems Will has now left Aero(retired?). Ken and wife Lydia have come out of retirement to take the helm.

Really? Weird. I spoke to him barely two weeks ago about the idea of doing an article on Aero, he seemed pretty up for it.

There is a short discussion about Will's departure from Aero on Aero's Facebook link on their site.

Doesn't seem to be any more? I have Aero linked to my Facebook, but the wall is coming up blank to me. [huh]

That's a shame (not least to say that's that idea for a feature knocked on the head). He was obviously incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about his craft.

I can't imagine anyone fullfilling Will's responsibilities as well...but surely he had trained someone before he left. It was my understanding that he was part owner of Aero along with Ken.
