The "Aero Flight Manf" Label was used exclusively (According to Mark Moye) on their cheap steerhide jackets and was not something that was used on the Horsehide jackets, from what I understand.

Quite correct-me! He tried to pass off a repro naval fleece as an original. Anyway the Aero has sold.

Harsh!!! Aero makes very nice stuff, even this jacket looks pretty nice. I stick with GW but really,there were so many private purchase A-2's in WWII that any decent vintage looking premium A-2 can "sort of" count. I agree, not my taste this Aero but?

Being naturally curious I searched past posts and yes there seems to be a slight, subtle anti-Aero theme...
It's simple, I find my Aero's to be exceptionally well made and of superior hides. I think that counts for something, maybe I'm wrong...

Fedora Lounge = lots of Aero fans

VLJ = Goodwearland

Generalizations of course. For 100% authenticity, a "clone" of an A-2 w/o modern day concessions, cut, fit - its Goodwear and it seems that many on VLJ (at least the ones who post) like/prefer GW for this reason. For a jacket that really mimicks a WWII A-2, Aero just doesn't do it as nice a jacket as it is. For me, if I were to buy a repro vintage biker/driving jacket, like a Highwayman or something, Aero would be it for sure, GREAT hides.

My opinion(s) only

Sorry to offend guys, I must of had a few beers that night. But Aero is overrated IMHO, especially there sheepskins.

I did see one that I really liked thow, and that was one PADDY from FL had, the thing looked like an original.

Again, sorry if I offended you Aero owners.

I have no idea what you've seen...or haven't seen. Many of us,here,enjoy our Aero A2s...along with some Aero shearling. In fact..my Aero B6 is quite nice.

Did like PADDY's Aero A-2 tho, one of the best repros I have ever seen!

Gotta admit in some of the old VLJ forums Aero's were shoved down our throats, and the 2 that I briefly had possession of I didn't like at all.

This one? this was the first oil pull that Aero made. Now long gone to some other owner.
