    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    This leather has me seriously considering the brown Type III they offer from the same tannery, but I’d really like to a collared rider jacket or maybe a basic cross zip in the same.

    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Picked this up today, ring by Navajo artist Will Denetdale. Been trying to find a ring for my middle/index finger for a while but needed a 14 1/2 and this fell into my lap browsing a store. Not sure on the turquoise—Kingman maybe? In person the matrix is more brown than the black it appears in...

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    Lol. The most vigorous wash setting and highest heat of course! In all seriousness, I have hand-washed my gf’s suede knee-high boots that cost a good bit more than 1k. Didn’t do it as a lark, they just needed cleaning. :)

    New Majestic just picked up at Aero HQ

    I don’t understand why people treat suede like a delicate flower. I have suede boots that I’ll wear in any weather. If they get dirty I was them in the sink. Yes, completely soaked, soaped, and rinsed. Let them dry with newspaper shoved in to retain shape and then get the nap back up with a...

    Hookless Zipper help please!

    I have an Original Hercules in cordovan CXL with a hookless zip. So far, no issues at all and I wear it many mornings while walking the dog and lately, cold mornings require a full zip! I say go for it and just be aware if alignment

    Western, anyone?

    This is a little alcove off the living room and a perfect place to grab a hat before heading outside. Hats are, left to right, Havstad, O’Farrell, and Rand

    Aero Leather is only a Business...

    This, exactly. There is usually a reason a company institutes a new policy like a non-refundable deposit. Ken is also correct about time: even when all goes right on the money end I’m sure there are orders that take up so much time with back and forth communication that it bleeds away profit...

    Tony, have your 50th birthday and appreciate how longer jackets and tubular profiles can obscure the advances of time. :)

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    Me too, was looking forward to seeing that one. Were the sleeves the problem? Hoping the Brave Star sherpas will ship soon!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks! It’s just a standard 2XL. The fit jacket I tried on with Carrie fit so well we made no changes to those measurements.

    New Thedi shawl collar in black steer with contrast stitching. I need to get some better photos to do this jacket justice. Carrie@ThurstonBros. Was a great resource for this!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It is as @Hh121 guessed, an Original Hercules, though the belt has been moved to a half-belt position. Picked it up during the Aero sale. Really like this jacket, the CXL breaking in sooner than I would have thought.

    Rain demanded the cordovan CXL be brought out today. (It also apparently demanded a confused expression )

    Finally got around to getting a photo that shows the color off better. Here it is sandwiched between two other cafe racers in brown and black. For those interested, front to rear: goat, steer, and horse.
