    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    I went for the drill as I quite like the 'utility' look of it. The 3 Aeros I'll end up with...one has Alpaca, one has Minto tartan and the drill has plenty of time be re-thought about!

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    It does have a full action back and that's why I went for it. Not so much for the reach as I don't ride, more for the looks of it. it's a busy front so thought may as well have a busy back! Chloe suggested we went for the 44" which is the same as the Sheene as the J106 was a very similar cut. I...

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    ^^ Many thanks for that. Have to admit I'm blown away by the Badalassi and for some reason, I can't put my finger on why, I just don't fancy HH. I'll never be a collector, more of getting what I need/want and wearing them. Going to chat with Aero later today and go through what I want and what...

    Advice on leather choice for a MC jacket please.

    Within the next week or so I'll be ordering a MC jacket from Aero and was pretty well stuck on CXLSH. As ever, things can change! Living in the middle of the UK we don't get freezing weather too much so hovering over leather choice.... Current jackets are :- Sheepskin flying jacket for when...

    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    We've just had 5 minutes of sunshine and the depth of colour is great. The lining is the Minto tartan.

    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    With me being a newbie to leather jackets it's difficult to say. The only samples I have handled are CXLHH, CXLSH and Badalassi and have since realised the similarity between the samples and the actual jackets is poles apart! If there was a scale of stiffness with 0 being like lambskin and...

    Aero Mk 2. Sheene.

    This has just arrived. Tobacco Badalassi Sheene. Fresh out of the box so it needs to settle a bit but impressed with it. Not the best photographer so pics are what they are. 2 pocket only and an August collar. Oh....and I squeak like a new leather sofa :D

    Windward is here!

    Update on the info on the label having mailed back and forth with Chloe. As said elsewhere my original order was for CXLHH however, at the time the jacket was to go into production Horween weren't overly sure when they'd get some HH out of the door with all the disruptions with the lurgy and...

    Windward is here!

    The original order was for HH however, when it was due to go into production Aero were struggling to get some from Horween so decided to go for SH which they had in stock. Jacket has a FQHH label in so some must have just arrived in time.

    Aero Bike jacket.

    This....now this is my idea of style!....without the throat latch though so, it's time for a bit of plagiarism. https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-natural-cxl-hh-j-106-kotr-indian-mix-biker-jacket.97528/ I knew Aero did the odd bit of customization here and there but no idea they...

    Yay.... Just had a mail confirming I'll be able to collect the Windward on the 4th October!. Anticipation now in overdrive. It's been a long 4 months.

    My day out at Aero Leather.

    Update time!....and a post praising Aero. A few mails back and forth with Chloe@Aero today. I suggested we might have a change of plan if the delays in them getting the leather went beyond the first week in October and suggested having my Sheene in Cordovan CX SH instead of tobacco Badalassi...
