Do any modern companies besides Aero make a wool or wool/leather 40s style half-belt?

My favorites are from Real McCoys and Atlast Co

Just found this tag in my Aero 50s HB(was sure it was lost, but the former owner had ripped it off and saved it in the chest pocket).

Do we have any Aero historian that can tell me something about the jacket going by this tag, seems like a rather low/early order nr if they started from 1. and so on

Love this beauty and would love some more info.

Cheers

The leather looks great too. I’d ask Aero. They can probably tell you who MJ is as well.

That's an order number 40, meaning batch of orders or something to that extent. The jacket is relatively old-ish, possibly from the... Different management era or slightly earlier. That's when they used the logo zipper pulls. But regardless, any CXL jacket was made post 1995.

Thanks for the answer Monitor, much appreciated!

Here's the tag on my Aero x LVC, made in 2003.

Question: What makes leather outerwear such a great investment for any wardrobe?

Answer: Leather outerwear is an excellent investment due to its timeless appeal, durability, and versatility. First, leather naturally ages beautifully, developing a unique patina over time, which adds character to the piece. This makes it a long-lasting choice that can be worn for many years, unlike other fabrics that might wear out more quickly.

In terms of versatility, leather jackets, coats, and vests can complement various outfits—from casual to more formal looks—allowing them to be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Leather provides natural protection from wind and light rain while still allowing the body to breathe, making it a functional option year-round.
