Well I did it. A full Herc in thickest 3/4 inch sheepskin.

First thing I did was slip this beast on in 33 deg heat - but that wool - is outrageously sexy.

Looks great. Much less in-yer-face in black.

A luxury like sheepskin lining is a sure sign of a man with money to burn, so congrats on that too.

Obviously its 30 degs right now so forgive me for not modelling it for you. But I shall. I also must say that Aero did a bang up job, thanks to Denny and his team, they relined the sleeves to with their new lining fabric and it's very slick, tough and smooth.

Is it a new Hercules or a re-lined one that you have? Looks fantastic btw. You could sleep on a park bench overnight wearing that! :D

Re-lined, although the jacket was in great condition, so like new. Funniest thing was zipping it up, my son had to step in and give me a hand. I am hoping the shearling pads down. I'll probably need hook fasteners to lock it shut, but it is one of those jackets where I thought, "Bring me the Baltic Sea, I am ready".

simonc, you aren't planning to use your heater much this coming winter, are you. That looks to be an exceptional jacket you have there!

I think you are right ^ I haven't peeked into the sleeves yet, it was only 35 degs when I tried it on, and I couldn't tell, but it is not sheepskin, but very silky and smooth, thank you Aero :).
