I love this jacket.
This is the new version from Aero using the absolutely superb merino sheepskin as used by top end companies in Japan like Real McCoys. This leather is very light and soft so wearing is easy, no dead arm when driving or on the phone as it feels like a sweater to wear.
The jacket is a described as a Battle of Britain pattern so would equate to a jacket typical from around 1940, with a slightly smaller rounded collar.
I won't describe the buckles and zips used as this information is better provided on the Aero website.
The outer is quite a light russet colour with matching russet seam strips. Surface texture is slightly crazed producing a pleasent colour comlex caused by reflection. The fleece is quite short at about 18 mm. One of the best characteristics of the design is the arm shape, quite full with a great taper, and length reaching to the knuckles like on originals. Back length is longer than some others so reaches just below belt level on jeans . The collar strap is of a generous length so fastening is an easy operation when compared to some others where the strap is just too short. The waist belt is set at a very pleasing distance from the waist seam so when the belt is tightened the lower material puckers up very well.
At 800 GBP this is very good value for money for a superb easy to wear warm comfortable stylish jacket with a great vintage look.
I am 5 10 and weigh 170 pounds, I like a very loose fit on
