Aero Leather
Does anyone have experience with products from Lost Worlds? They make some big claims about their cut and quality--which I would very much like to be true.

Guanaco
Good Evening,
I have a coat from Kiton made from the above fabric, which I bought about seven years ago.

They had wonderful craftsmanship & finishing but the esoteric styled electric watches in the late 1950s to the 60s essentially killed the comp...
