I think Aero zips are just something one has to get used to working with. They are smaller in size (probably a 6) and can be frustrating on some of their designs but in the end no big deal. I agree cordovan is an excellent choice for this style. It gives it more of a "bootlegger" look to me and...
Well I've drop some pounds from a Total Knee Replacement and it demands more weight loss so I got rid of 2 jackets that were now too large and did this fun replacement. Aero Motorcycle Jacket in Cordovan with dark brass and snaps. Got it off the bay with a claim the Zip was going bad but it was...
Ok so drama on the Bay... Someone contacted me to give them a good deal ($500.00 BIN) which I agreed to because It's awfully hot for Horse and sheepskin and as the jacket does not fit I thought cool I can move this on. I changed the BIN and ............... crickets no action for 3 hours so I...
I am putting this longshoreman up here first rather than the Bay to see if there is any interest. It is a size 44 and in excellent condition rarely worn as I am in Tennessee. It is Chromexcel Horsehide and heavy with the sheepskin lining and I added a fur collar with 2 inside pockets. I bought...
Had to run out early yesterday soooo why not wear my leather cause by the time I got back it was already 65 degrees. Probably the last time before warm weather arrives completely.
I have been looking today for this Aero Green Steerhide jacket photo from the early 2000's. I bought it for my wife but the sleeves were too long so I passed it on years ago but it is green and actually was pretty cool looking I thought.

I pick this up from J Max last week and it came in just a few minutes ago. It is a Beast of a jacket and fit is just as I expected. Perfect for this old guy. BTW I like my sleeves on the long side as it is perfect for driving. I think once the stand up collar relaxes a bit it will be good daily...
You know, thinking about it I did buy it on his sale site as a Downtown. Maybe it was an early Hemi prototype. I wasn't bothered by the seams at all. I know this; like all LW's I keep wondering why the hell I passed it on.
Hmm Just a note. The below shot is from 2009 near Mont St Michelle, France. I don't think Stuart was offering the Hemi in 2009 but he did produce the Downtown like this in the 4 oz. I bought it in 2007 from Stuart and wore until 2012 when I moved it on to someone else. It was just beginning to...
