It's a long wait, but once you finally get it you'll forget about how long it took to receive. Butte is right, the bulk of the wait is behind you and so just stick it out. You did order a little late in the year to expect to get much wear time for this years cold season.
Watched the Seabiscuit movie last night and saw a lot of nice vintage leather jackets and wool coats from that era.
I have my Aero leather Half-Belt but always liked the plaid wool jackets of that era. Does anyone make those style of wool jackets anymore? I would love to have a Half-Belt style...
I have a Russet Goat Custom 50's Half-Belt and the leather is beautiful. It's a lighter, reddish brown but their Seal goat is just as nice if you prefer a dark brown.
New "Keeper"
My old favorite "go-to" jacket was my Cockpit Oildriller/Roughneck. But now I have to admit that my Aero Custom Half-Belt(Selkirk)is my new Go-To/Keeper!
Sterlingwear Peacoat
I own a Sterlingwear Authentic 44-S. I usually take a 42-S in a sportcoat, but I wanted some room for a sweater or sweatshirt underneath, so I went a size up. It's just a little roomy but not too big. I would say they run pretty much true to size. I also ordered it in Navy...
Saw the pics of your new Deluxe Half-Belt and like it very much. Was debating on wether to get the patch pocket w/ hand-warmers like yours, but decided on the G-1 style instead. Yours are definately more useful in the colder weather when you want to use those hand-warmers.
I do not own any FQHH. I always have prefered goat because of the grain,weight, and durability factor. All I can tell you is the color is beautiful and the goatskin leather is thick and not too stiff, and I'm sure you will be very pleased. Not a lot of break-in time like I hear about the HH!
When I first heard of Aero Leather and contacted Mark I told him I was looking to "Build the Perfect Beast" and this is as close to having it as possible for me. Now I would just be happy to have someone posing with me in my photo's like some of yours. Hey maybe the jacket will bring me some luck!!!
I just combined a Half-Belt with a G-1(M422A) and thru in a little "Indy"and came up with this design. Mark at AeroUSA has my original jacket on his sight (Sent back because of wrong color Goatskin) is calling it the "Selkirk". I made a few changes on this jacket like the lining and no throat...
OK - I have tried numerous times and spent way too much time trying to post some pics of my new jacket. If anyone can help a not to savvy computer user out I would be grateful!
