Hi folks,
I still get quite a lot of PMs concerning my Goatskin Cheyenne that Aero made for me about two years ago. Most people ask for additional pictures or measurements. So I guess many people fancy (Aero's) longer fitting and vintage styled jackets.
Well, I do! So I thought why not open a thread that mainly concentrates on Aero's "Big Three" (as Bobjones called them) and all other longer fitting 1930s/40s styled buttoned jackets. All brands are welcome!
Please bear in mind that this thread is intended to have some sort of reference character for fellow forumers looking for general information and of course good pictures. So please keep it more less on topic and post as many pictures as you like!
Here's mine. Still wonderful and rock solid!
Specs:
+ Size 38 Cheyenne (fits like size 40) in seal veg tanned goatskin. The goatskin used for this jacket is incredibly thick, stiff, and heavy. In fact it's as heavy as FQHH.
+ Cheyenne pattern shortened by 1 inch and slightly waisted. 1 inch added to the sleeves
+ Stockman patch pockets with scalloped pocket flaps.
+ No handwarmer pockets.
+ Cotton drill lining with a full rayon overlay for ease of wear. (A single layer of rayon wouldn't be durable enough for such a heavy jacket).
+ One vertical inside pocket in the facing.
+ Curved Highwayman yoke.
+ Two piece back instead of a three piece construction. The lower back panel is made from ONE piece of goat which I think is almost incredible
