    Aniline Dyed A-2

    Very sorry, guys....huge mistake on my part. The jacket is not (obviously ) a Bronco, but a Monarch. Guess my mind was somewhere else. I rec'd a prompt and courteous response from Gary this morning: ......"Yes, don't worry about that, it's perfectly normal for aniline leather to do that...

    Aniline Dyed A-2

    steerhide revelations impact on viability of high end repros

    Re: steerhide revelations impact on viability of high end re If one strikes out "Beacon, NY" and inserts "Scotland" and changed the word "war" and substituted "recession", one could say that's how Aero was doing business before it sacked the former Managing Director et al.

    Eastman / Aero price gouging on overseas sales

    So Jaguar46.....you and I catch the same flight to London to buy the same new Jaguar cars for export to the States. I know that probably is not possible buying North American spec cars without going through a Jag dealer in the U.S. but saying that it was. I buy mine from a dealer in Birmingham...

    Shell Cordovan horsehide

    I'm fairly proficient in CQB with a knife, but I would not mess with those cutters at the Horween factory. Those guys are so proficient they could cut you from Hell to Breakfast and you wouldn't even know it. They make Gus from "Breaking Bad" look like a ranked amateur!
