    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Had my T-3 for about a week - breaking in nicely even though the fit is slightly big. I searched for some images of the Natural Vicenza after being exposed to sunlight - no luck other than a small thumbnail on TB. I reluctantly decided to give my jacket a bit of sun to help the color change...

    Thumbnail pictures in posts

    Some folks may not have dependable high-speed internet (DSL, cable, satellite, FTTH) and there could be data caps that have to be monitored. Thumbnails allow those individuals to selectively open images of their choice. The TB thread is a good example - Carrie posts many magnificent images of...

    Aero Type III - pocket flaps - too big?

    Greetings CP! You are certainly more detailed than I am - never thought of counting the stitches. I just measured down from the top of the pocket seam to the tip on each flap which resulted in the 1/2" difference between the two. Having a different set of eyes (via this forum) helps to alay...

    Aero Type III - pocket flaps - too big?

    Thanks for your comment - I kinda thought the pocket flaps looked like elephant ears initially - well almost. Getting another POV from folks here help balance out my obsessive nature.

    Aero Type III - pocket flaps - too big?

    Thanks for your most valued comment. I hadn't noticed initially, but being overly analytical lead me to fret over something that is, in the long run, probably not worth the effort. As the break-in progresses, the jacket will become more comfortable looking in appearance and the pocket flap...

    Aero Type III - pocket flaps - too big?

    I posted some images of my new Aero Type III in natural Vicenza a few days ago. I was stoked about the new jacket but overlooked the seemingly large pocket flaps. To my surprise (and disappointment) both flaps on the new jacket are 1/2" longer than the Navy T-3 making the new jacket look a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My new Type III in natural Vicenza arrived today. Even though I'm not wearing the jacket, the 'out of the box' images provide a preview of what is to come once it becomes more seasoned. The lining is the Tartan Royal Stewart which I think gives the jacket a more sporty look vice a solid color...

    Great image and jacket. Being a part of life's daily festivities is the best gift anyone could have. You and your contributions are gifts that keep on giving - Thanks for being you and a part of this wonderful forum! I am a bit older than you (1950) - we all age but we don't have to grow old!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Beautiful jacket and the color is primo! First time seeing this style - I consider this to be a more sophisticated, contemporary take on the Type III trucker jacket. Really, really nice! Hopefully my pending Aero T-3 in Natural Vicenza will acquire a similar hue should I be so lucky!

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Beautiful color - this must be a custom jacket from Vanson - is this an Enfield?

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I ordered another Aero Type III in Natural Vicenza w/cream stitching and copper buttons in early March. The jacket is now in the cutting stage and hopefully it will be completed in the next 2-3 weeks and arrive shortly thereafter. Some may recall the Navy Type III I got late last year. That...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Super looking jacket - the leather looks very luxurious - almost wet. I'm sure it's a joy to wear.

    Exquisite jacket! The color is captivating and the unique details of the cuffs, slanted pockets and front placket/zipper area are perfection. Thanks for sharing.

    Show your graining

    Assortment of vintage Cop jackets - all eBay acquisitions - far left is horsehide, others are usual Chicago style w/last one in Dark Blue. All are built for the long haul and will out live me.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow! What a specimen - are you wearing the coat or is it wearing you? Regardless, I look forward to the thread this beast deserves. Definitely a winner - congratulations to you. BTW, is that huge collar Bear fur?

    Really like the 2nd image (w/blue cap) - the jacket color (Cordovan?) is spectacular and the matching tie works too. The reddish hue is distinctive and classy. A very proper look!

    The Jacket, the color and contrast stitching, the fit. Perfect.

    Trucker suggestions

    Thanks so much Denny for your comment. I figured things are a bit hectic at Aero due to many factors and I know the wait will be worth it. Best to you and all the fine folks at Aero!

    Trucker suggestions

    Greetings! Regarding the Aero you have in production, could you provide your order date and when you were contacted regarding initial review? I submitted an order for a Type III in Natural Vicenza about a week ago and haven't heard from Aero about the order. I did mention in the comments I had...

    Trucker suggestions

    Greetings! The Fox Creek is a size 44 - the P2P is 24" and the shoulder is 21, waist 20, sleeve 24.5 as is the back length. The jacket has hand warmer pockets. The fit is not as snug as most trucker jackets (including my others) and the leather does not creak unlike most of my other leather...
