What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Gamma68]

Sweet Gamma. Love the Windwards.
You can spin the belt around back and fasten it. Some did that instead of the pockets. Depends on how loose it is.

Thanks, I'll give that belt orientation a shot. Or I might just remove it and set it aside. Not sure yet.

The steerhide on this one is pretty darn nice.

Spent 2 hrs “working on” this one today:

I’m going to do a thread over the weekend...looks a lot better after the Handymike Re-Dye.

I was going to say. I want one!! That’s an Ali express purchase!? Looks flipping brilliant!

 

[ton312]

It would be nice if you put the type/model of the jackets you post Hh121.
They are always nice and it would be nice to know.

Lost worlds suburban, size 44”.

Yep, this is a Large and it fits me at 38.
The leather isn’t what we prefer, but after dyeing it down it looks really good. The hardware is ****py fake Talon.
For the price, I’m very happy as I’ve wanted this style for years.

It has been among my top 3 fav Aero styles for years, I just always wanted to see more pics of it in the wild. Now I'm pretty sure I'm going to get one as well. Plus it's really cool you can't get it in any other hide or mod it. That simplifies things a lot.

Agree, nice style. I've also enquired about one and was told it can be ordered in Vincenza - however it's not returnable (unless an error is made by Aero).

I wholeheartedly recommend the standard leather they use for the 59’er. Thicker than Vicenza but a lot softer. Really easy to wear. Tons and tons of grain and character.

Wait a second, that’s not a thedi? Looks really similar to one of his models.

 

[handymike]

It’s a Chinese knock-off of a Thedi. Wait for the thread- you’re gonna love some of the details.

I’m dying to know what you did to the hide. I thought it looked good before but do think it looks better now.

Very cold (clear!), early mornings in the harbor make for GREAT photos (a fellow captain took this shot of my boat as I piloted her across the harbor). Perfect weather to wear a toasty warm floatation/survival jacket

Thanks, my main reason for Vincenza was to chose a different colour and possibly to keep the weight down. I presume the steerhide would be a bit heavier also?.

LVC Triple Pleat (it's way too hot for leather here right now)

Nah, I don’t think the Steerhide feels heavier than Vicenza (I have three Vicenza jackets). Thicker and softer, but not heavier.

This arrived today from China by way of member @dinomartino1.
The leather looks a bit like a couch, but it fits like a glove!

Which company is reproducing Thedi in China?

It should be illegal to wear a trucker that doesn't fit like this.

Yeah, the whole customization thing is a double edged sword. On one hand it’s awesome to be able to spec a jacket exactly how you want it, but it’s really hard not to second guess yourself every step of the way. Even after receiving the jacket, I find that I easily slip into the whole “maybe if I’d choosen differently it would have been even better”. Options = anxiety and doubts.

That’s why I really like buying things off of Aero’s sale page. I find that I’m generally happier with those jackets than I am with my custom orders. And the fact that there’s no wait time at all.

Exactly that. 100% true. That's what made me sell my last Aero CR and objectively speaking, it was the endgame piece for me. But I couldn't stop thinking what it'd be like with a rounded kidney panel... Stupid, bordering with deranged, I know, but at the time it made perfect sense to me.
But if anything, ever since then I am kind of reluctant to go full on custom anymore. I don't think I ever will. The Lee trucker I got off Aero's sale page is the least perfect Aero I have had, and I like it the most. By far. It's too short, maybe a size too large, unlined and yet, I'm perfectly happy with it.
