Aero CXL FQHH

[Aloysius]

The only navy blue horsehide that stays navy blue is the Vicenza and the Shinki.

I don’t believe this is the case for the Shinki. It’s pigment finished.

I suspect this hide (horse?) Aero used to have stayed blue. Not CXL or vic. Not sure what it was.
More royal than navy.

I always think of midnight blue as turquoise or evergreen.

Was closer to gray on my PHWM

Those two CXL navy midnight blue are just awesome.

The 50’s HB was truly teal. Electric color. Proved too much for me but it was beautiful indeed.

The admittedly very pricey Lewis veg-tan horse might be a good way to get that similar mottled dark blue look (without the CXL fade-to-brown).

Aero’s CXL in midnight is the only leather I’ve ever seen that I prefer to look brand new. It’s why I never ordered it.

Is Lewis Veg tan horse an option now? The last time I checked a few days ago after seeing Monitor store visit blue jacket, it was not available from the online shop. Only veg cow and veg sheep and the chrome stuff. Is it still email order only for now? What is the upcharge?

Same charge as veg-tan cow. It was available about a year ago when I emailed them; possibly they’ve limited supply so they‘re keeping it to email?

It’s certainly appealing but cow and sheep feel like the most traditional choices to get for a Lewis (besides the 1930s models) which has me leaning that way.

That Monitor jacket looks great though. Electric blue! First Lewis jacket to catch my short attention since the racing green sheep one...
