    Fleabay chancer trying to sell a damaged jacket

    Bought an Aero Highwayman at what seemed a great price. There were only 2 photos without much detail but the jacket was described as "perfect condition". Jacket arrives and lo and behold, there is damage to the leather of the arms. Not sure what the guy had done to it but needless to say it is...

    Aero A-2

    Hey y'all long-time lurker of the forums here, just wanted to post my first-ever leather jacket up and get some more information on it. After lots of research and waiting around for something to pop up I managed to snag this used Aero A-2 off eBay for what I felt was a pretty fair price (~$200...

    Aero fit pics! Do B-3 sleeves shrink?!?

    Anybody know how much B-3 sleeves will shrink or shorten up with wear? I ask because I just got a new Aero 42-22899-P fresh from Galashiels! She’s a beauty and fits damn near perfectly. If it stays this way forever, I’ll be chuffed. But if the sleeves are going to climb up my wrists over time...

    Closest thing to the Real McCoy‘s A2?

    I‘m trying to find the closest thing to the Real McCoy‘s own „contract 41-6330 P“ A2, but by a European manufacturer, i.e. Aero, Bill Kelso, Eastman, etc. This is because I live in Berlin. I love everything about the RMC jacket — the leather, the color, the collar, the epaulets, the pockets...

    Aero M422a Fit Advice/Opinions

    I purchased this size 48 Aero USN Type M422a jacket "like new" off a member on the old forum waaaayyyy back before it got wiped. Sadly upon receiving it, I wasn't crazy with the fit at the time and then proceeded to gain enough weight to make it unwearable. However, I kept it around in my closet...

    Question about Aero A-2s and cowhide

    Hi all - it's my first time posting, although I've been a lurker for a while now. I'm considering getting an Aero A-2 and was wondering if cowhide is an option. I notice it shows up in the Quartermasters Issue, but none of the original contract A-2s in the Aero Military Jackets section list...

    New B3 Jacket, but which one?

    Hi everybody, With the very cold UK weather I recently bought a vintage B3 jacket From eBay. I loved it but it was too big for me. Also, I didn’t like the smell much. It was a strong musty smell on the sheepskin. It was a USAAF one, though I must say that really like the look of the more fitted...

    We had a break in at Aero in the early hours of this morning, Monday 10th July, around 2am at our factory on Huddersfield Street in Galashiels, around 110 new and used Aero jackets, mostly orders waiting to go out today, and some original vintage pieces were stolen. Among the missing vintage...

    Aero's Perry (aka unknown 1756) pattern?

    For those who owns the Aero Leather's unknown 1756, most likely a Perry jacket, please kindly comment on the body pattern vs. their 15142 or 18775? Historically, it seems highly plausible that the same manufacturer tended to keep the pattern throughout their contracts and just make local...
