Custom D1 Opinions Wanted

[Xopher]

If I were to order a custom Aero D1 with trim added to the cuffs and waist hem...what would be cooler looking?

Natural white hide with russet Italian horsehide trim

Or

Redskin with dark seal Italian horsehide trim

All opinions welcome. Thanks all

Those with both be pretty darn cool but the Redskin version would be easier to wear IMHO.

A redskin with russet vicenza would look good too, that's what I have on my B-3.

I personally hate seeing all these companies putting their own "take" on classic jackets. They are classic for a reason. mine as well get a Cockpit jacket

Then the only D1s out there would be seal brown and I have yet to hear anyone poo poo a redskin D1

Thanks, she's a beauty. It (she) was made with some leftover Fenland sheepskin Aero had in their basement. Fenland went out of business a few years back, they made beautiful, relatively light, sheepskins.

I got the last of the Fenland unfortunately, they only had a very small amount left.

Have you contacted Lost Worlds?

All other opinions are invalid.

I could never wear one of these simply b/c I'm a constant sweater. This would have me passing out. But yeah. That redskin is just intoxicating. It's really, really beautiful.
I could see one with dark brown shearling on the inside. If such a thing even exists.

I like the D—1 as there isn't as much of it as the B—3. Nothing wrong with the B—3, but in my climate I don't need that much coat. Have been thinking about a D—1 for a few years now. I will vote for the Redskin with dark seal Italian horsehide trim.
