Aero Hudson

[Peter Bowden]

Greetings
Thought I ought to post some pictures of my Hudson coat supplied by Aero which I have owned for nearly a month now!
It is sized as a nominal 50" chest with 1.5" added to the length and with 27" sleeves.I am 6 feet 4 inches tall with a 46" chest
The standard crome excel hide is gorgeous and I love the heft and drape of the coat....bit warm for this time of year but I couldn't wait for the colder months
Regards
Peter

Nice jacket and looks much better without the belt, imho! I received my Aero Teamster with alpaca lining in July and still could not resist wearing it!

Take it every evening for a walk and it'll be perfectly broken in by fall. You'll love it more the longer you wear it. It'll get super-soft after a while and look even better the more the grain shows.

That's one beast of a jacket. Very solid looking and you got the sizing right. I like the darker collar on it too.

Welcome Peter, beautiful jacket and equally nice print behind you. I also like it without the belt, but it's nice to have the option to wear it either way.

Man, that's a beast of a jacket! What does it weigh?

 

[Fanch]

That is a great looking jacket that should keep you warm although probably not needed where you live for a few more months. Congratulations.

I love this! Fantastic jacket and looks damn good on you.

 

[SpeedRcrX]

Wow impressive jacket.
I wouldn't be able to wear it, it must weight quite a bit.

Congratulations it fits you very well.

Great looking jacket, classic pattern! Welcome to the Lounge.

Superb choice. The length looks perfect. I absolutely love the Easyrider print too, fantastic. You've got it going on. Is it horse or steer?

 

[Peter Bowden]

Thanks everyone for your kind comments-Weight wise the coat is approximately 8.5 pounds or 3.85 Kilograms and the hide is FQ Horse

looks real cool both your jacket and garden!

Looks great Peter. My son was 4kg at birth . . . That's a lot of (very cool) jacket!

 

[Edward]

Very sharp looking. It's nice to see one of these in the wild; I was struggling to imagine how it would look being worn. I imagine you're really looking forward to the Wiinter now!

 

[mendelboaz]

Yup.. That is a winner!

 

[Edward]

Would look great with an Open Road / Campdraft style hat, bashed like a Fedora...

 

[Peter Bowden]

Great suggestion Edward-As you say I am really looking forward to the colder months and will try and source suitable headwear-I am a fan of the newsboy cap/half belt jacket combination but dont think it works as well with longer jackets
Regards

I think a good, wide cap would work nicely (I often wear caps for much of the Winter because of wind-factors...) too, but this Hudson would jut hve something of a frontier look with a brimmed hat of that style, imo.
