When I ordered the jacket in 2013, Aero assured me, that they would select such an extra heavy hide. In the meantime, I have handled and seen other FQHH and Steer jackets from Aero which all feel substantially lighter/thinner.
Selling my beloved and well cared for Aero leather jacket.
This jacket was a custom order which differentiates it from a "standard" Cafe Racer (See modifications by Aero below).

Thank you. Need the info for my upcoming order.
