    What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

    In the UK the weather doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing. One day bright and rather warm, the next - rather chilly. My D-1 is excellent and so pleasing to put on. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    I know!! I've saved another 200 towards the next one... I will need a bigger wardrobe too. AND... I bumped in go a mate who has been having flying lessons. I have the coat now, so why not?? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji927] Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    D-1 finally arrived from Aero. I love it!!! Love the colour, the light weight - not as heavy as a 6kg Irvin that's for sure, practical, suited for UK climate. Stylish!! What do you all think? Is the fit ok?? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Looking at several jackets, and trying to decide... I’m a 42 chest, but wondering if I’d get away with a 40 for a tighter fit? I understand they are cut rather generously? Good info above [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    So the B-3’s etc only good for cold DRY days? Would they spoil if they got wet? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Love those jackets! I am tempted to buy right now but makes no sense given that we’ve got the hottest February ever in the UK. I just hope I get some use out of my D-1 whenever it arrives.... I’ll order a B-3 toward the end of the y3ar if I have the funds available :) I just wish I could go to...

    Thanks for that. Perhaps it's a Russet one and the lighting is playing a part here? Who knows! Already planning a B3 or Irvin for winter. Did I hear so done mention that Aero will be going to an event where I can try on these jackets before I buy one? I'm growing impatient for my d1 Sent from...

    Hey guys. I saw a photo of an Aero RAF jacket online. It looks to me like it's a redskin, though? I thought they were only available in Russet and seal brown? Am I missing something here?? Totally love the colour of this! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
