Aero Leathers

Aero Leathers is a Scottish manufacturer specializing in heavy-duty horsehide garments. The brand emphasizes mid-twentieth-century military and workwear aesthetics. It represents a commitment to traditional craftsmanship and durability, catering to subcultures focused on heritage fashion, vintage motorcycling, and rockabilly style.

History

Ken Calder founded Aero Leather Clothing in 1983 in Galashiels, Scotland. The company initially focused on restoring vintage flight jackets before producing original designs based on archival patterns. It gained significance for reviving traditional vegetable-tanned horsehide production during an era of mass-market synthetic materials. The brand remains a central figure in the heritage menswear movement, influencing the global market for authentic reproductions of 1930s and 1940s outerwear.
