Info on Aero "oiled" A2 ??

[okejohn]

Hey Guys, I have what I think is considered an Aero "oiled" HH A2 that I purchased a couple years ago from a gentleman on this forum. (I think he went by Paddy). I'm going to be listing it but I really don't know much about it.

I'm wondering if anyone remembers it and could help with any info.

Thanks,
John O.

Yup I remember it fantastic jacket looks like the real deal. I know Paddy probably got some special hides for this jacket. I thnk.

That was back when he was modelling for them. He's a Mod at the Hat Lounge, why not pm him there?

It's Aero's oil pull horsehide. Yes I remember it...and when he got it. What other info do you want to know?

I'm not a TFL member Van, but isn't there some rule ... like so many "nice hats" before you can PM?

Or maybe that was to post pictures. :?

Me neither, since they don't allow people to join if they only have Yahoo e-mail addresses. Actually, that may also be the case here, but if you were a member on the old board prior to this rule being introduced they waived the restriction.

Hi John, thanks for you lovely PM which I've just read and replied to. Glad you still like that A-2 and I hope all the info I've supplied to you on it's heritage is of interest. It's still looking lovely and full of character!

Kind Regards, Paddy.

do not attempt artwork in acrylic on one of these. (in case the thought crossed your mind)

That jacket looks amazing. It really could pass for an original.

 

[okejohn]

Thanks for all the info.

I just listed it on ebay if interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170421563320#ht_500wt_1182

This is indeed a well known jacket - can't wait to see what it goes for...?

1***9 (30) is back on your kit, but he has changed his bidding strategy. One bid of $277. It appears his
bidding flurry has been passed onto the current high bidder. Chisel bids and then three over the top. Just
like the GW auction. Bizarre? Wonder if Mr. Tiger Patterns will come over the top this time?

It's going to be fun watching the last few minutes no matter what happens. I am a little uneasy with the person ahead right now they live in germany and only have 2 feedbacks. :?
