Closer to the original, I can’t speak to because I just don’t know these jackets well enough.
Better hardware I can’t speak to either because I don’t know enough about this either.
Neater stitching and finer finishing to the edge of the leather, yes, these are two points that I would...
Is it just in my head or is the Real McCoys B3 much better made than Eastmans?
I tried out a lovely Eastman B3 month or so ago and posted about it here. Week or so ago I also tried on a new Real McCoys B3 in a shop. I can clearly remember thinking that the HH(?) on the back of the arms looked...
Oh I'm coming (back) to visit parents. Just figured might try find some leather shops while I was there. In the past, its been camera shops. Oh the "hobbies" and new interests...

Apparently the original owner has only worn it a handful of times in the...
Such a beautiful piece! Thank you for posting.

This is a good shout, thank you. I would like to check out what else is also available while I’m there.
Still, really hoping to see at lease one of these two jackets in person before I decide to put money down.
If Aero themselves actually have them in stock, that would be ideal for me. I...
So this is maybe a bit of a weird one.
I am looking at getting an aero shawl collared barnstormer or a Thunderbay. Both of these are exactly what I’ve been looking for I.e. a shearling lined horsehide jacket. The thunderbay is even my dream jacket but better (almost a B2 and with a shearling...
