    My customer experience with Aero Leather: What's happening?

    I think that seal is close to dark brown and that dark seal is nearly black in the examples that I have seen.I cant comment on its durability.As far as I know,Vicenza is a fairly recent addition to premier garment manufacturers stock and most jackets take a long time to really get worn...

    My customer experience with Aero Leather: What's happening?

    This post might help.I have an Original Hercules in Dark Seal Vicenza and the rain just bounces off.The colour is similar to a dark chocolate tho' I cant specify which brand. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-midweight-leather-samples.86261/#post-2092121

    I think someone is going to be very happy with a cordovan Highwayman that has sold recently.

    The original "Wild One"

    Motorcycle Gang from 1957 carries on the theme of delinquency and rebellion with the redemption of the hero by his civic decency.Apart from that-A lot of Perfecto and Buco jackets being put to good use.

    Recent Aero Brown CXL Steerhide Leather

    This is an Aero 30's HB in heavy brown steerhide for comparison.This is as it came of course but it is a seriously gorgeous hide.I don't have any close-up pictures but the hide is very malleable and shows a lighter shade when handled despite being immensely tough

    Break in at Aero

    Terrible news.I've sometimes pondered the feasibility of having my jackets micro-chipped.I suppose if thieves knew they were 'tagged' they would be able to remove them but this would still leave a trace......

    What kind of leather jacket am I thinking of?

    Just researching...... http://lostart.com/lost-art-custom-leather-for-men/

    What kind of leather jacket am I thinking of?

    Possibly an Aero Rockafella or Sea Biscuit though these too have quite large lapels.Plenty of well-worn biker jackets to choose from also, from bare essential cafe-racer styles to cross-zipped Bucos

    Corduroy vs alpaca wool lining for horsehide jacket

    I would say that of the two alpaca would be the warmest.I find that much over 10 degrees C and with high humidity it can be too warm and thats worn with only a long sleeved cotton t shirt underneath.Its luxurious though when teamed with layers on a cold windy day.

    Fedora Lounge Motorcyclists: Safe Gear with a Vintage Vibe

    From Aero's Instagram page.The bulk of my riding was done in the Eighties when I had an ill-fitting Mascot leather jacket and Belstaff nylon trousers.I think the jacket style as illustrated is stylish and would probably adapt well to under-armour depending on how loose you like your jackets
