Hi all
I recently picked up this 30 year old Steerhide Aero Highwayman and while I absolutely love it, it squeaks...a lot.
My other HWM is a 2 year old CXLFQHH so I'm not used to these noises at all. The Steerhide itself feels very thick and the jacket is in excellent condition and hasn't had much wear since it was new.
It's not a huge issue but is there any way to reduce the squeak, could it be that a previous treatment has made it squeaky or is this common to the leather type?
For those who are interested it's a size 40 and the lining was a custom option available at the time (early 90s) which is a very thick, almost blanket like material. Unfortunately a few inside labels have been removed so one of them may have provided that info.
I'd be interested if anyone else has an Aero of this vintage who could identify the lining. These are the original ebay pics plus one of me wearing it
