This turned out cool! I’ll post a full review as I don’t think Aero’s wools get much (if any) attention. I’m surprised (pleasantly) by the texture. It’s very rough, almost like burlap.

Awesome. I bet an insolent Dr. Evil hates it though.

Scotland has a long history of producing and working wool. You did well congratulations. When I first purchased jackets from Aero about 2000 Aero would send out a wool scarf with jacket purchases.

Ton just needs to change his footwear game and get some cowboy hats, then the transformation is complete.
The wool on his Aero sounds a lot like my vtg Windward wool jacket. It really is cool stuff and has opened my eyes to the possibilities. The darn wool needs to be broken in. Awesome stuff.

That Aero Wool HB looks great. I have a Waterfront I bought years ago, though I hope to buy a new one this Winter. My original is great - I should just have bought a bigger size. The 42 measures 23" pit to pit; it was always snug - a 44 would have been better, though I'm actually planning to go up to a 46 to have room for a submariner sweater under it. I remain tempted by the 'screen accurate' red (albeit that - like Aero - I wouldn't go so far as to insist on mismatching fabric, as per the original one Brando wore), though by first preference I'll be going again for the green, I just love the colour.
The most recent jacket I bought is one of these, for about 40% of regular retail:
Not my photo - a stock image! One-colour, 50s 'Hollywood' style leisure jacket. Not quite as bright red as in the photo, more a burgundy/oxblood in reality. Very nice jacket, definitely worth full retail, though for forty quid (I'm guessing it was a less popular colour) an absolute steal. Still a bit on the warm side for it currently, so probably will get worn later on, into the Autumn.

Just out of the Box. Will be looking for a new home, so cool. I know the maker but not the model. Probably a 38/40

So I was 100% sure I wouldn't be getting these but apparently I was 100% wrong. On the way...

Just placed an order on a repro of a Leathertogs jacket from Field Leathers. Let’s see how that one turns out in about 10-12 months from now 
This is the jacket that I want a repro of:

I believe Stuart owns that jacket. LW’s version is sensational. I’m interested to see FL’s take on it.

He does yeah! Stuart does an amazing job at it, but I like Greg’s work and I think he could make an awesome version of it. Also like the leather he offers more than the thick and heavy chrome tanned armour like leather than LW offers.
LW doesn't just offer thick leather, the deer version of it is great.
