I want to sell my Aero Leathers 1930`s halfbelt oilpull midweight horsehide jacket.
It is a standard size 40 with just a little extra in the length. Its 24.5" backlength, ans has a touch longer arms to get a certain look.
I was after someting like BruceWillis jacket in the arms:
Pic is here
Mine however, got creases kinda fast in the cuffs so its not as long anymore, but know that the were specced +1" longer.
Prices:
£360
430 euro
$580
All prices is without shipping.
Shipping will probably be international since I live in scandinavia.
It is a standard pattern with some small mods:
x No handwarmer pockets
x 2 horizontal chestpockets
x plain back with a yoke, yes there is no halfbelt on this "halfbelt"
x 2-panel sleeves
Here is the specs sent to Aero:
x size 40 - 1930´s halfbelt pattern in the old brown oilpull (smooth hides)
x no fake halfbelt
x 1930´s yoke
x +1" in arms
x 2 horizontal straight breastpockets with ball and chain zips
x no handwarmer pockets
x 1 left inside gunpocket in the facing with snap button closure
x all pockets not so deep
x Antique zippers
x true 2-panel arms
x leather lined cuffs
x berry tartan lining in body
x black satin in arms
Information about the leather
This is a leather that i refer to as "the old oilpull". It is a midweight hide not to be confused with the FQHH oilpull. Aero had a small sample of this beautiful hide and its long gone so this is a truly special jacket. I love the hide, its a little lighter then brown FQHH but its a perfect shade imho.
Fresh out of box:
Worn:
Pics of the linings:
This is a special kind of oilpull, and it seems to develop patina very quickly as can be seen here after just a few uses:
I am selling this jacket simply because there is never weather for it here. I thought I would use it in fall and autumn, but these seasons seems to have vanished. Now its t-shirt weater all up until even a FQHH jackjet is almost too cold. I have this jacket, a midweight caferacer and a jeans jacket that never gets any wear, so as sad I am to let this beautiful jacket go, it cant just sit in the closet.
The jacket is worn only a handful of times. It comes from a pet and smokefree home. The nature of the leather however makes it break in quick and I can only imagine how it will look after a year of hard wear.
I can get measurements if anyone is interested.
