While it is a gorgeous jacket, IMO it is way overpriced. You can get a custom Langlitz tailor made for under $2000 in a variety of leather options, including their heavyweight cowhide which will probably be plenty heavy for most people. I don't think any custom leather option is worth paying over a 20% upcharge for, especially considering the price we already pay for these bespoke items.

I'm not a fan of the shiny leather, makes it look like cheap "pleather".

Were these mouton-lined jackets made during the Star Glove era?

I reached out to the seller in March asking a question. She said she would get back to me. I pinged her in May to remind her. Crickets. If that pit to pit were 23” or a bit more, I would have bought the jacket. I guess I’ll never know.

It's just one of the Patrolman jackets made by AERO Scotland, from the 80s or 90s.
Probably steerhide, maybe connolly. I have the same zipper pull on my early Brando MC,
and the leather is similar.

Ah, thanks. I live in Beacon, so it’s a grail of sorts for me. Cool jacket nonetheless.

Ive been looking for an Aero Connolly for a while but they are not easy to find.

 

[handymike]

No, they’re not easy to find, and you have limited choices as far as models go, but if you find one in good condition...you’ve hit the mother lode! It’s beautiful stuff. I wish they would source some for a run of Premier Highwayman jackets.

I know that some highwayman deluxe were made of it. The early Brando, some MC and Patrolman's jackets were too, in the 80s and 90s. The connolly steerhide is heavy and grainy, and it's rose tanned, it keeps that smell, even 35 years later. I prefer heavy FQHH, but the connolly steer is really nice too, and not stiff.

 

[DavidAp88]

That would be amazing! I would certainly jump on one of those jackets if they ever did. But in the mean time I’ll keep looking for the grail. If anyone spots a 34 leaning the wrong way don’t be shy. A Highwayman in Aero Connolly in good condition is definitely the most desirable vintage Aero out there for me.

There’s a 42” (or 44”?) Connelly highwayman in JoJo’s General Store Ecclesall Road Sheffield.
