Just curious. Keep them safe for reference as the leather might be good for an A-1.

Love the jacket, love the name.
I'm seriously considering splashing out on one of these down the line when I have the spare moolah.
Nicest looking "new" jacket from the usual suspects, but then I'm one of those who think that new Aeromarine thing looks like a sack of the brown stuff.
Well done BK.

Well done BK.
Having read right through the thread, one or two things spring to mind about the Aeronaut: as far as the name goes, and setting aside any possible legal issues, surely sticking the name of one of your competitors, gratis, is never a great idea? Perhaps Aero will see it as a compliment of sorts! What next the Eastmanaut? The Goodwearate?
Beyond that, and I think this is the nub, BK need to get these jackets on to the backs of real customers. I can't remember the last time I saw a BK jacket of any flavour on the FL - oh, let's just call it the Hat Club, it's the etiquette around here - beyond that unfortunate kerfuffle with Jeff. And correct me if I'm wrong - I'm sure a few are dying to - it's been a bit of a while since any appeared here too. BK's latest stuff look great, almost Good Wear great, but it's all moot if they can't get past the problems that have been listed elsewhere and start getting product out here. Until they do it, I doubt any of the other makers will be lose much sleep.

I myself couldn't care less about the legal mumbo jumbo with the makers.
I too look at pics and think that these guys might be making killer jackets. But I see people waiting and new models or partial models roled out and think "customers aren't important".
There's only so much fawning one can do over pics and stories. Lets see customers with jackets. I know a couple here and elsewhere waiting.
If BK could make what I've seen here and deliver, they'd be a force in the world of hides. As it stands, it's mostly smoke and mirrors and odd testimonials from afar.
