[Lear]

Manufacturer: Aero Leather Clothing
Model: Veste de Rallye
Size: 46" with 1½" added to both body and sleeves
Material: Cordovan FQHH (roll-over stitching throughout)
Lining: Olive gabardine
Pockets: Twin vertical (in the lining) pockets (left zip & right snap closure)
Condition: No rips, tears, gouges or other damage to FQHH or lining. Slight rubbing wear on left sleeve cuff. Lining is still absolutely perfect, not smelly, roughed up or worn through. Outside of this Veste is looking nicely lived in though... in the best possible way

Current state of wear/patina pics to follow (end of weekend or Monday... sorry)

Price: £350

Notes: This jacket is simply not for a slightly built person. If you have wide shoulders and can bench a goodly amount, it'll sit on you perfectly. Otherwise, it'll swamp you. Has a small initials name tag on the bottom front hem. It's up to you to unpick this (don't trust myself to do). I'm in London and South East UK if that helps.

Edit: To add pics taken yesterday. Fourth pic from top shows the very slight rubbing wear on left sleeve cuff.

Before I dip my toe into eBay - would be a first for me - it's now 10% less @ £315, which saves me the hassle of going that route.

Hi oldemettle, maybe you're too new to the system to enable PM's. My PM is always turned on. This what I get when I try to PM you:

"oldemettle has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her."

I wouldn't want to post my email here for every spammer to harvest, so don't really know what to say.

Can you post chest and shoulder measurements?

 

[Lear]

What's chest measurement?

Also can't PM you (because you only have 3 posts?)

I'm away for the weekend. All I can say for now is the body & chest is standard default Aero size for a 46" Veste. All I did was add a bit (described above) to the length only of the arms and body.

From the top shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve cuff: 26.5 inches

From the lower armpit seam to the end of the sleeve cuff: 17.5 inches

I have taken the measurement in a straight line (not curved around the very slight curve/puffiness of elbow). These are the longest measurements I can get.

I'm in London

Saw Shakespeare's Cymbeline last Sunday at A Noise Within's Pasadena Theatre - There is a Lear-like
character called King Cymbeline. A tip for members: A Noise Within is home for the classics. George
Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma is now on stage.

What part of glorious London are you in Lear? I was staying in Twickenham a few years ago and took the
Flying Scotsman northward and then via car to the Isle of Skye. I should have visited Aero.
