My new Aero J-100 is my grail jacket. I always had a thing for brown cafe racers, yet I must've bought/sold 10 high-end leather jackets before I finally ordered what I wanted all along. I continue to see jackets that I like (really like the MF duck canvas Blouson in the B&S!), but I'm satisfied...
I bought mine second hand. It is brown FQHH and has a herringbone tweed lining (it was originally alpaca, but I found it too itchy). If I were buying new, I would pick a lighter weight leather like Vincenza or goatskin. I like the idea of a quilted lining.
My new Aero J-100 in tobacco Badalassi. Only worn about an hour, still needs to relax and drape. Pretty stock other than olive drab stitching and an interior pocket (no stud). The sun really brings out the reddish tones and makes it appear more russet than brown. Not that shiny, but plenty...
Super-thick (14 oz.) off white sashiko shirt. 100% cotton.
I bought this shirt from Rebel Menswear (Instagram) and waited 6 weeks to find out I need the XXL. I'm a size 40. This is labeled an XL, but fits 38. I've already ordered the larger size. Paid $105, washed/dried once.
Shoulder 17.5...
Roman,
You done real good! That is a beautiful jacket in a beautiful hide. Now, be smart and stay away from this forum or you'll end up buying 4-5 more.
I always feel a bit sad when I see jackets like this with the name tag attacahed. I can't help feeling that this guy's grandkids would love to have his old jacket.
