    Nearly new Schott 689H Horsehide - size 46

    It's a great jacket design and well made. I've worn mine as a winter jacket, layered, but it's got a pretty wide range of comfortable temperatures it can be worn in.

    Langlitz Crescent

    At that point, you're better off ordering a new jacket. Flip this one, and start over.

    Aero Patrolman jacket

    Aero Patrolman #2. Size 40, identical pattern as the first. Nice condition. Overall patina and condition is about the same as #1. Main zip works great. Ebay listing photos:

    Vanson leather in 2019 ?

    Judging by how the collar looks edge-on, I'd say that looks like the heavy stuff to me.

    More info needed on Game Set and Match (G.S.M) jacket

    That's hard to assess unless you're in person, and even then very subjective. Not to mention that Aero uses a wide variety of leathers, so you need to be specific about what you want to compare with. It looks like a decent heavy leather though. No idea how it compares to the heavy CXL Aero uses...

    More info needed on Game Set and Match (G.S.M) jacket

    Don't know anything about them, but it looks pretty good. I don't think acetate is the best material out there for a lining, and I wouldn't recommend putting a lot of money into a new lining, but the leather looks substantial. If it fits, for around $200 it's probably a good jacket.

    WWI uniform tunic repros, civilian-style jackets

    I realize this is a WWII forum, and this is slightly off-topic, but I hope that someone reading here may know the answer. I recently spotted a nice looking WWI Army tunic on ebay. Didn't buy it, wasn't my size. But I really liked the style. I would like to know of any modern reproductions, or...

    Is this an aero leather jacket?

    Well, I can't say, but if it's not it looks the part enough for me. If it is, it's probably early. They used to be the Transatlantic Company, and have used many different labels over the years, but I've never seen that one before.

    New Vanson Oxford

    Good fit, I bet it will break in beautifully. What's the difference between the Oxford and the Enfield? I think the Enfield doesn't have a center seam down the back, but otherwise they are very similar.

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

    That's absolutely perfect. Nailed it.

    Aero Sheene Natural CXL

    Your friend may have gotten it from there, but I think Picard probably got it from some ancient Greek philosopher.

    Aero Sheene Natural CXL

    Glad to hear you like your own jacket, and your disapproval was for another that isn't yours! Enjoy breaking it in and bringing more of that grain out!

    Aero Sheene Natural CXL

    There's nothing wrong with it, but if you don't like it, no one is going to convince you otherwise. It's an expensive thing, you should get what you want and like it. It does look to me like it's been going through quite a bit of breaking in already. I have handled many CXL jackets, horse and...

    Aero premiere hwy fqhh

    Man, that looks like a good fit to me. I'd think twice.

    Aero Sheene Natural CXL

    How heavy is it?

    Aero Sheene Natural CXL

    It looks completely normal to me, and very nice grain at that.

    Cool mod for LW Mouton Collar

    Wow, it doesn't just have a snap already?

    Need help with highwayman sizing

    Short answer, 42 should fit you pretty well.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's the name @jpk_NJ gave to it, I'm sure, in honor of his home state. I don't think it's an official name that Aero would recognize. I do like the pocket design better than the standard Aero Teamster jacket.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    How do you strum with sleeves of 4oz leather? You've got to be a real he-man!
