THIS IS IT! THIS is the color leather that I am looking for! If my new Jerky HH looks like this, I may just pass out! Perfectly executed and perfectly worn! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Okay, I have settled on a hide....and it was not Vicenza. @Marker2027 would still like to see this post stay alive, however, so post away.
I myself, kept seeing Russet Vicenza look organish-red in some photos and this scared me. I ended up going with "Seal Jerky HH" to make certain that I get...
Hahaha!
Edit--The quote did not show up. I was laughing at the comment about everyone having too many jackets to ever break one in.
Thank you everyone for your contributions.
No worries. Thank you everyone for the input so far. I love the look of the CXL Brown, but I want that "next step down" in stiffness. I am looking for a buttery-soft leather that is as comfortable to wear as it is beautiful. Because at the price of these jackets, I don't want it to just look...
Good morning everyone,
I have done a lot of research in the past several days and, while I found one or two similar posts on here, I am having trouble finding more than an example or two of aged/broken-in brown Vicenza leather. I remember when the stuff came out in 2014 (or so) that almost...
...last time...hahaha....
So I spoke with Holly today and she let me know that if the 44 highwayman fit me perfectly that I best not order the "Premier" variety, as it would likely be too tight/slim on me. I have VERY broad and pronounced shoulders. So now I am almost back at square one...
So more changes....sigh. I know Holly wants to wring my neck. I have changed the order no less than 3 times. I think I am settled now. I showed my wife the "Royale" and she was like "um...kay". That is wife code for, "I hope you like it, but don't expect me to think you look good in it"...
Okay, so I must amend this post. I ended up switching to an Aero Royale in Russet Vicenza. I will post photos when she arrives and, based on what I can find, TFL desperately needs to fit photos of the Royale. I can only find 6-10 photos of the jacket online.
Wow! Yes I was “This close” to choosing Vicenza, but I was worried that it may fade color onto my clothes underneath it. Is it really the cat’s meow? I still have time to change my mind.
Thank you everyone. Yes, a few months ago, Aero put out a free pamphlet. All you had to do was fill in your address and they mailed it out. There was a single photo of "Battered Steerhide", I think it may have been a vest, but MAN it spoke to me. Had the color and grain that I have been...
Good morning Fellow Loungers,
I have been lurking on here, more or less, for the better part of the last 8 years. I have gone through many jackets, colors, and hide-types and each time I have learned a little something about my preferences and habits.
I have owned (5) Aero jackets, a Thedi, a...
I know, I feel a bit sick about it. Losing money, plus not getting to let it go to FL member. Next time I will list here for a day or two first. So sorry my friend.
I had the auction set to run 7 days. It was not a "buy it now", but it did have a place to make offers. I always list leather goods that I have here and on ebay. Usually if there is interest here, I will take down the ebay listing. In this case, the jacket sold very quickly.
