    Aero Windward lining

    Just curious-Do they have one in your size ready to ship?Otherwise the wait would be as for a bespoke jacket.You might like to consider moleskin for a lining as it is warmer than cotton but not as warm as alpaca so would give you a more versatile jacket.

    CXL Horsehide VS. Vicenza

    That looks really characterful and unlike any other Vicenza I have seen.Generally too uniform for my taste especially compared to Horween CXL

    Aero Leather Grizzly.

    Grizzly jackets are huge fun to wear and I have yet to have any disparaging comments about mine...I think people don't realise what they have seen.Practical too...they are lighter and warmer than most leather jackets

    Aero Sale Oct 22nd 2018

    I bought one of the apprentice/trainee Bootleggers a while back and its a super,super jacket and great value.I believe I am correct in saying that they did not fit the top button to these so they do not have a button hole either-I think they look better without personally.

    Bought my first leather jacket

    Very nice-Looks like a comfortable jacket and the sleeve length looks spot on.At least I think that's how sleeves with cuffs should look.
