    Please name the Color of this Jacket !

    looks like FQHH with some contrast issues on the photo .... Aero FQHH CXL in Brown has almost a "conker" look to it IMHO. These definately look more reddish than it actually is in the flesh. It is notoriously difficult to get an accurate or consistant picture of this leather as the impact of...

    Himel's Latest Heron

    I had an Aero Longshoreman and an Alexanders Long Rider ... both lined in Lochcarron blanket. The longshoremen ( Lochcarron Wool Blanket) was half way between the original shearling lining ( 3/4" shearling was too fluffy on a short leather jacket IMHO ) and the alpaca lining. The Long Rider...

    Aero Highwayman v Long Half Belt

    I have a LHB with Shearling liner and Mouton Collar in MWHH. Its a great jacket and incredibly warm. I'm normally a 42" - 44" Aero ( with enough room for layering ) or a 40" Highwayman My LHB is a 46" ( to accomodate the shearling ) with 1 1/2" short sleeves and 1" short body and it fits...

    Good Wear Imperial

    For what it's worth I think the jacket looks good :) Yes, the pocket is higher than normal ... but for me the chest pocket is mainly a cosmetic thing ( I can't recall using it for anything other than keeping the original jacket labels in) .... not sure it affects it's functionallity or it's...

    Aero 1920s Original Hercules

    I don't think some members have been particularly helpful up till now Sloanie !!!!! .. which may be the reason behind Schitzo's prickliness ..... just a suggestion !

    HWT on Mouton Collar

    It makes the Mouton go curly instead of straight ( which it ultimately will do with wear anyway) .... not a bad thing IMHO and makes it look much more vintage. ( Jacket was an Aero M422a) ... made the collar much more comfortable on the nape of my neck and made it look less "pointy".

    Aero 1920s Original Hercules

    I was once told by a VERY reptable leather jacket maker ( Jimmy Aird ) that the shortest and tightest a leather jacket will ever be is when you put it on for the first time. In all of the leather jackets I have ever owned ( and that's a LOT of jackets) this has always been the case barring a...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Is it me, or does it look a little bit plasticy and shiney ..... :( Maybe it's just the contrast with the black which is more matt ??

    Alexander Leathers Cafe Racer

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear ...... I see the Aero fanboys are vocal as ever ! Give it a rest guys please and keep the jacket maker issues, allegations and nonsense out of the op's thread on his new jacket. So much for the rules of the forum :(

    Alexander Leathers Cafe Racer

    Nice ... Like a j-100 with Lewis lining :) Wear it well .. That hide is amazing ( I have 2 custom jackets in it - one in burgundy and one in tan ) My Lavant is also in the same hide and is wearing in nicely ... It does scuff easily not being struck through ... But that just adds...

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    I had a bootlegger in seal goat some years ago .. it was a bit light for on the bike TBH. The goat was superb but I always sort of associated it with G-1's etc. the plus side was it didn't need any break in at all and was VERY weatherproof. It's a smashing jacket in CXL ... and a GREAT M/C...
