AERO MAXWELL with some mods

[Cornelius]

I love the design of the max as it can be dressed up or used casually. Only thing I'll change is to have a slightly smaller collar. But it looks great as it is.

Is there a particular collar from another Aero jacket you'd opt to request instead?

I like a slightly shorter and narrower collar but the Maxwell's button design limits what can be put on it but, I like the August and CHIPS collar.

The August collar is slightly smaller with more of a point.
Here is a comparison of Aero collar shapes:

Though note that only some collars canbe interchanged. Aero will allow a different collar option as long as it doesn't require a new pattern.

My Aero Stuart ( predecessor to the Maxwell ) had more of a molded or shaped type open collar that I liked quite well.....

That's one reason why i choose the MAX in black ... - you can Combine it with almost every Thing - combined a White Shirt, black waistcoat 'n tie already yesterday which adds a pretty stylish look to the jacket

OK - almost not visible coz buttoned up but got some positive comments anyway

Was thinking of going for the maxwell for my new aero jacket in battered steerhide,i must say you look really cool in that jacket great fit sir i think you might have made my up.cheers

Very nice fit, What is your weight/ height and jacket measurements if you dont mind

Since i owned a 1930ies Halfbelt for about a year i was "infected" and started to plan for the 2nd AERO.

My choice was the MAXWELL with some mods like american cuffs and a pleated back. Material is CXFQHH but i think thats obvious.

I think as a customer i was a real "pain in the a..e" consumed a lot of AERO's staff Patience.

Anyway - after less than 12 weeks i received the jacket and i'm fully blown away ...

as you can see from my smile i'm in real love with "MAX" ...

Will post some more pics the next couple of days ...

When I ordered my Mulligan, I completely eliminated the chest pocket. IMO the chest pocket flap on the Mulligan really looks cheesy. On the other hand the cargo pockets with flaps is very functional and worthwhile. I also ordered my Maxwell without a chest pocket. Both of my Sheenes do have chest pockets on the left although I consider any chest pocket though as merely decorative, at least for me.

I'm in two minds on it. I'm leaning Mulligan over the Maxwell just because it's a bit more varied than my other stuff (which matters to me even more now with inflation in general, and jacket prices particularly, rising so much faster than an academic salary). The chest pocket I will keep, I like it as a detail (and ideally to stuff some gloves or a pen or whatever in.... this is a jacket that will get worn in place of a blazer / suitcoat for me)..... The flap I am in two minds about. I quite like how it looks, though whether it gets in the way practically I think might be the question.
