I have lost some weight and this is too loose on me (5'9", 160pds). Hardly worn in. I am the first non-smoking and caring owner. See scans for measurements. Special order: no storm cuffs. no epaulets, no outside breast pocket, 2 (left and right) inside pockets. I am located in Switzerland and...
I ordered and got this "Mariner" directly from Aero Leathers in Scotland. It is Front Quarter Horsehide bought before the mix-up at Aero. It is a regular standard Aero size 42 but quite roomy, more so than the bomber style jackets I have from Aero in size 42 (Bootlegger, Windward). You could...

I had heavy bleeding on a black HH Aero "Windward". Rubbed it every which way I could, put it out in the sun and rubbed it down with a cloth many times. That took a lot of sting out of the bleeding but not all. Loved the cut of the jacket but hated the bleeding, sold it. Frustrated I bought a...
