My first Aero

[James1985]

This is my first proper jacket, an Aero Highwayman.

It's made in chestnut brown badlassai steerhide. I can't compare to other leathers since I don't have any experience with them, but I really enjoy the badlassai. It had an amazing smell when I first got it.

My favorite thing so far about the chestnut hide is the range of colours it goes through depending on the light, from an espresso brown to a glowing ember mahogany in the suns rays.

Mines the regular Highwayman, not it's slim line brother.

I'm about 5ft 8, and around 70kg. 37 inch chest.

Mines only seen about 20 hours wear so it's still a little stiff and squeaky. Anyway, just wanted to share and see the expert opinions. Regardless, I'm super happy with it.

I have to give credit to a guy called dudsbydell from YouTube. Without his videos I wouldn't have found the jacket or the forum.

Looks sharp here! Nice fit as well. Del knows his stuff.

Welcome to FL -- Now - do yourself a favor and do not log-back in again! So you will not be tempted to go and buy more jackets, boots, jeans, etc.

Thank you. Oh but it's already too late! I've already planned my next jacket, an Indian Ranger!

Thank you my friend. It was my 40th birthday gift to myself so I want to take my time and enjoy it thoroughly before getting another jacket.

Thanks man. I had this made to measure but I also bought a stock size 36 Waterfront jacket, and that fits me great too. I'm very pleased with Aero sizing but I know a lot of people struggle with it.
