Private Purchase Aero A2

[Roughwear]

Yes, Aeros with their Civi label are not common. I traced the vet's son through Google.

Glad you are back Paul. Yes I enjoyed restoring the jacket and researching the vet.

It's interesting where your former jackets turn up!

Amazing, this guy must have sold over a hundred A-2's by now.

 

[Roughwear]

True. His regular latest claim is that he is selling each jacket for a friend. How many friends does he have?

good catch

interesting story

I am sure he has a few friends here. Not the first time he has sold stuff belonging to VLJ members.

 

[Ken at Aero Leather]

From our showroom The two jackets in the top left hand corner are both Aero with civvy labels, the A-2 is lovely, the design of the black jacket shows why the company folded!!!!

I should add that I did not sell the A2 to this guy, but somehow he has acquired it. It will be interesting to see what is sells for.

 

[Rutger]

Yup, quite a few jackets he sold have in the past been seen on VLJ, sometimes being put up for sale over here, and a year or more later turning up at his shop.

Peculiar is that he often sizes his jackets 1 or 2 sizes too small. His measurements are ok, but where we would call it a tight 46, he'll call it a 42.

People who bought with him will have run into a bargain quite often, he also sells GW quite often, Eastman, and the odd BK.

Looks like he has another batch of interesting jackets listed now.

 

[Roughwear]

He does and he is still selling them for one of his customers!

 

[Marv]

the jacket went for $464 (£321)

 

[Roughwear]

£321 was quite a lot less than I sold if for several years ago. I notice that generally this seller's jackets rarely fetch the prices of many other sellers. The quality of the photos plus the almost identical descriptions can't help.

 

[eckhartus]

bargain for someone. Not me unfortunately

Andrew did you stitch by hand or machine? very neat job for such an old wrinkly jacket. This is the first time I learned that this white silky civilian label that Aero Scotland used to use is actually a copy of an actual vintage label! I thought Aero Transatlantic created it. Learned something new today!

 

[Roughwear]

Machine and hand if I remember correctly.

looks super!!!!
