    Californian questioD

    Willybob - mine was ordered and made in 2010 but I’m not sure when the pattern was discontinued - an email to Areo would confirm. In hindsight I should have kept the cuff straps, I wouldn’t have used them but they do define the Californian pattern. Yours looks very nice indeed!

    Californian questioD

    Correct Mike, they had cuff straps and a breast pocket if I remember correctly. I asked Aero to leave them off, for a cleaner look, this was back in 2010. I kept it for a couple of years before trading it back in for a deck jacket.

    Don’t know if this helps or not but here’s a look at the back of my size 40” 30’s Premier half belt.

    Favorite Keeper Leather Jackets

    Kudu is a lovely hide, heavy but soft and pliable with an almost purple tint in some lights. I suppose if you’re going to compare it to anything, it would be heavy deerskin. As Kudu in the wild tend to lurk in thorny thickets, you do get some scars in the hide which for me just adds a bit of...

    New Aero Type III Jean Jacket - Fit advice needed

    Looking at the back view, the length looks spot on for a jean jacket. From the front it does looks a tad short but, as mentioned, the tan belt just draws the eye. Solution, black belt, wear and enjoy it. Nice graining already on the steerhide.

    @Peacoat I remember the photos of your Highwayman, many years ago, great looking jacket. Had so much going on lately, all things leather jacket related have taken a back seat - hope all is well your end.

    Three of my keepers. Aero Highwaymen - my very first Aero Aero Premier 30’s half belt - trim fitting Aero Kudu Pioneer - heavy but soft, great for layering and so easy to wear

    Aero Teamster in Battered Seal

    That’s a nice looking Teamster and a good fit. Shoulders will drop a bit as it breaks in, you wouldn’t want tight shoulders if you’re layering - nice looking hide too.
