Done, just finished setting all the details for my midnight blue Aero Jacket.
It will be an Original Hercules, with a simple satin navy lining and hookless brass zipper. Though to had an extra zipped chest pocket but ultimately decided against it.
I just can't get enough of this jacket.
Since the weather has cooled down I've been wearing it quite often. Great jacket, great hide.
An absolute winner
Those sleeves are way too long and the body seems a tad loose. The chest/back ratio isn't working quite well.
I would return that. You could do with the body (i prefer a neater fit) but those sleeves just ruin the whole feel of the jacket.
I'm quite sure the shoemaker Clarks used this same hide for some boots they made and I saw them in loco. So if it's the same hide it's a very dark steel blue that in a certain light shows some evergreenish hues.
Being that hide I'm even more sold.
My doubt now goes for which style I should go for.
I want a mora "classical" style leather jacket, so style like the Highwayman, Original Hercules, Zip Sleeve Highwayman, HB, Sunburst are the way to go.
Already knew the Vicenza Navy and I also think it is a beautifull leather. In fact I've enquired Christine at Aero about a BR or 60's Trucker jacket in that colour with cream contrast stitching a while ago.
I was making some prospects for my next Aero jacket and found that the Midnight Blue HH option is available.
Anyone here had a jacket made in this specific shade of blue?
If so please share the experience, how it ages, the way it behaves when exposed to a certain light.
Have known Blackmeans for a while, some of the jackets are really cool but others are way over the top. Even for the supposedly late 70's punk vibe they claim.
