    CXL from Aero. Creases from improper storage. Examples??

    Neck seam creases that ruin the way the front panels hang have always been a pet hate of mine. Whilst I agree poor hangers can be an issue, the original patten cut and the assembly of a jacket is a far greater factor. I have plenty of images of jackets, fresh out the box, with horrendous neck...

    Zipped and lying flat Bottom hem: 20 3/4” 8” up: 21” It is a very nicely made jacket, an experienced eye will notice how well the front panels hang. Creases radiating out from the collar and spoiling the main front panels is a pet hate of mine, Julie at Aero installed the collar in such a way...

    Aero August in battered tan

    It was seeing your Teamster that first had me even considering this hide, a stunning jacket by the way and my all time favourite longer half belt styles. Tan isn’t colour I would normally go for but it is a very striking hide, quite unique, I’m just struggling to find clothes to go with it at...

    Aero August in battered tan

    Likewise, I’ve never even considered a light colour hide before, always been a seal or dark seal man. This is just strangely different - it’s going to take some getting used to.

    Many thanks, first time I’ve ventured into tan leather and I’m struggling to find colours to go with it, have to get my thinking cap on.

    Aero August in battered tan

    The leather is different, no doubt, still hefty but more pliable than heavy horse. There is a small drop from back to front but not as pronounced as my 30’s half belt. If you look at the second photo, showing the back, you can see the drop.

    Many thanks, the action back works well, it just gives enough to make reaching forward easier.

    Aero August in battered tan

    Aero August in battered tan horsehide, 42”. Don’t recall seeing many of this pattern out in the wild so might be of interest to forum members. Aero list this as a medium weight horsehide but it’s got some heft to it. Size 42 Measurements Chest 23 1/4” Shoulders18 1/2” Sleeves 25” Back 24 3/4”...
