Another Leather Question

[Klemmi]

At last friday i send an e-mail to Amanda at Aero Leather. I want to order a casual jacket on base of a HG-5, but with different specifications:
No breast pocket, large carco pockets in the style of their Longshoreman, a be-swingback (in the style of some 50’s Bikerjackets) an a mustart cotton lining, like in the A2’s.

But i’m not sure with leather. Is Aero’s mid-weight HH the same leather, what they use to make the A2’s or exist a difference between A2-HH and mid-weight HH?

I own three HH-Jackets, an all are different in the Leather. One is crometanned FQHH from Vanson, one is a Aero A2 an one is a Wested IndyJacket.

(sorry about my grammatic)

Your grammar is fine; you got the question asked.

I don't know that one can generalize about the weight of the HH in a particular jacket. Aero offers several different weights in the A-2, from the Jerky to the "all over HH." That is, the leather is taken from all parts of the horse, as it was during WWII. So what is seen in one A2 may not be in another A-2.

So what is seen in one A2 may not be in another A-2.

Yes...i understand, but what i mean is....they say the A2's HH has 3oz leather and the HeavyFQHH has 4oz. What is the midweight 3oz or less?

 

[Peacoat]

I can't remember for sure, but I believe it is either 3 or 3 1/2 oz. I don't think it is less than 3 oz. One of the other members will know exactly.

"KLEMMI,"

Aero's midweight HH is 3 oz...

Aero only makes midweight jackets in either Russet or Seal color, so when you ask for any of their civilian model jackets in this weight, this is what you'll get, color-wise.
