I agree with everything you guys are saying, I'm not going to coddle or get neurotic about what I can and can't do to the jacket, but I am so pleased with how this thing fits, the potential of a heavy bag changing the superb lines of the shoulders is not something I want to do in the first...
Yeah, I totally posted this without thinking it through. I'm all for breaking it in and really using it, but I'm going to leave the bags off of it. The shoulders are perfect and I don't want them sloping/stretching or becoming asymmetrical. I have plenty of other jackets that will handle the...
Hello,
I recently received my first Aero FQHH jacket and was curious about carrying a bag. I'll be wearing the jacket this fall/winter on my commute to work and always have a bag. I know the FQHH will patina and show wear, but I really don't want strap marks or rubs on the shoulders. I'm fine...
The first batches of Vicenza were a very different leather compared to what's available now. Take a look at the first 5 pages of the Thurston Veg tanned/Vicenza thread, you'll see what I mean. This jacket is from one of those early batches it seems. They had gorgeous marbleing & color variation...
Jesus, Sloan, your jacket is spectacular. Did you request very dark brown? That's exactly the color & the look of the hide I have in mind for a 2nd Aero. How does the weight & hand of tumbled compare with Vicenza?
I missed this post - your jacket looks amazing, perfect fit. I remember seeing it on the Insurrection thread and wondering when you'd post pics. Damn, maybe I should have gotten a Sheene... ;)
Thanks all - yes, this forum with all of the excellent photos of your jackets, combined with the Thurston process took so much guesswork out. And my timing is great it seems, as the premier line is relatively new. I'd be swimming in a standard HWM.
@Peacoat: my fit jacket was Vicenza and I...
Here's the funny part - the jacket arrived ahead of schedule and showed up the day my mother-in-law came to visit for 2 weeks, so I definitely have to wait until I'm not out-numbered. She'll be fine with it, especially when I tell her I got it on eBay for $350... Oh boy.
I literally had trouble...
No chance I will sell this. It has plenty of room to layer in and I love all the details (the slanted chest pocket was a mod - stock is straight). I feel blessed to own such a luxury jacket. It's hidden in my closet downstairs atm. I'm trying to figure out how to introduce my wife to it. She...
Hello,
I’m very pleased to announce the arrival of my custom Premier Highwayman, purchased with the invaluable help from Carrie & Wade @ Thurston Bros. I feel very fortunate to have discovered their amazing store and fit jacket process. It’s an expensive gamble ordering custom and the fit...
Indeed, a FQHH premier HWM. The earliest I would imagine it showing up would be end of June, but I'll prep for a little longer.
Definitely post some fit pics on your thread (I found it after I asked about ordering).
Nothing like Christmas in June/July, right?
