    Aero black jerky horsehide

    I think more pliable. It has a slightly softer hand, too. It's shiny to start with, but I'm monsooning that out of it.

    This place has been a constant source of intelligent debate and exchange. Heartfelt thanks to all. J.

    Aero black jerky horsehide

    Yes, it shows wear more easily than Vicenza according to members here. After a bit of torrential rain and canvas bags being carried around in it, I'll be able to give you a first-hand account of how it behaves. William Lennon boots for the win. Once broken in, they're hard to beat.

    Aero black jerky horsehide

    I prefer the black jerky to the seal jerky. Black seems to have a better hand and drape, even though there's not much in it. I'm slowly whittling down the number of jackets that I own to a manageable, transportable number, but the lighter hides keep me interested. The tan steer hide cafe...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That is a great fit, certainly.

    Aero black jerky horsehide

    I've just had a Plainsman delivered in this hide and I am really impressed. It was between this and Vicenza blackened brown; the jerky won out initially as I already have a dark seal Vicenza Mariner. So far, the jerky has been pliable almost immediately and is somewhat lighter than the Vicenza...

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

    I have a Plainsman in black jerky HH on its way now. I brought back a tan steer hide cafe racer jacket; Hong Kong will make it a bit too warm for either, but this winter should be perfect for both, especially a planned trip to Hokkaido. Will post pics when the Plainsman arrives. My oldest...

    What's your opinions on cuff cinches?

    Had them once, but they got caught on things. I prefer button cuffs or zips. Never liked snaps.

    New Schott 118 - Leather Dye Transfer Issue

    It washes out, no problem. Invest in dark-coloured trousers. It doesn't stop and anything you try (conditioner, rubbing the Jeebus out of it with a towel or cloth) will just make it worse. This is my chief offender. Unrepentant, recidivist, etc. Aero Maxwell in cordovan tumbled HH.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Aero Mariner in Dark Seal Vicenza. I'm really pleased with the Vicenza and am pulling the trigger on a Plainsman in the blackened brown. Also suggested is black Jerky HH. Does anyone have experience with both? I want the jacket to be quite flexible; thickness isn't an issue. Goat is not...

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    Sell it or return it to the manufacturer and ask if the collar can be completely replaced. Perhaps a material/knit stand-collar could be installed, but I don't think a shawl collar lends itself to much re-shaping/cutting.

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    I spoke too soon. I hadn't seen the collaborations. Those are some rugged dugs. Unfortunate.

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    "...most ridiculous ... yet?' suggests that there are other ridiculous designs - I think the Canuck, for example, is great and there are several other designs that are similarly good (the Kensington, etc.).

    Simmons Bilt

    Aero's goat has a softer hand. Simmon's Bilt's goat feels thicker and has a rougher hand. SB's goat is like armour.

    The big thread to identify jackets worn in movies/tv series

    Bruce Willis has worn some fine jackets in a few movies. Liam Neeson and DeNiro, too.

    Aero Maxwell or Teamster?

    I had a Teamster in seal jerky that was just a bit too big. I have a work coat which is great (russet badalassi) and a Maxwell in tumbled cordovan HH. Overall, the Maxwell is my favourite for fit, length and wearability. With a cotton drill lining, no action back and sizing to 42 (I'd take a...

    I love my Aero Leather jacket except for one thing

    Oil the s**t out of the nipples.

    You can only wear one jacket for the rest of your life- do you go black or brown?

    Brown. I'd not go for black as I don't want to need to match it only with black boots, etc. Brown is more versatile.
