Perfect pick-up truck jacket, especially if the heater isn't too great
Congrats man. I know that one has been on your mind for awhile. Great choice.
Military.

Shinki is my favorite horsehide as well. I wish Aero offered it! I've never handled a jacket in Badalassi. I look forward to your review!Badalassi
Without Badalassi, I would not have considered Aero. This is nothing against Aero, but I do not like CXL and I have seen many and handled several Vicenza jackets and I prefer Shinki by such a wide margin that Aero was always in this unique category of "on my radar if they get the right leather."
Badalassi was a leather that I wanted a jacket made from ever since I first saw a jacket made from the hide. Once Aero got that leather it was only a matter of time before I ordered something from them.
With boots, I go for craftsmanship above everything else. With leather jackets, the leather itself plays a vastly more important role in comparison to boots.
Yes, I think I remember that one. Two-toned, I believe.
Yeah! That's the one I'm thinking of.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts although I suspect I know what they will be. Enjoy the remaining few days of bittersweet anticipation. They last forever and somehow not long enough. LOL.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this one J!
