It looks like no Aero I've ever seen....

This jacket has the details of an Aeromarine, but I could not be sure if this is a real one or not.
Cowhide is not what I would choose anyway. This seller has a lot of leather items, even LW, and nothing looks really wrong. But last years there has been a lot more of Aero jackets on the Bay. Like everyone has one for sale.

Yeah and front quarter cowhide. LOL. No such thing! The beast on the tag looks a goat and cow hybrid.

First fake Aero I've seen on ebay.

I’ve seen a few. The hide tag, if not the pattern and hide itself is a dead giveaway. Maybe these should be called Arrow’s or
Air-o’s lol.
No
Error’o

This conforms to me that this seller is not to be trusted. I've seen him sell fake RRL, fake Californian and fake Buco before. He's easily recognizable because he always uses this Navajo rug.

Genuine to me. The FQCH tag is a curiosity indeed but nothing about this jacket strikes me as a forgery.

Stitching on the bottom hem / placket is weird

Label is weird (the red bar)

Aero doesn’t use these buckles either.

They use these:

Everything seems to point to a fake. It's good to know, as this seller has a LW that could have interested me...

In all fairness, he may not be aware it’s a fake either.

Anyway, this label is odd, but I found the same one on this pic :

Horsehide Fidelity, small, $250 starting bid:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/115150836325?hash=item1acf865265:g:8B4AAOSwendhrn~I

The chain hanger says Fidelity. I thought the snap belt closure was used only by Guide Master by Wolf, but I guess not...nice jacket in any case.

both used snaps on the belt, but the shape of the belt and where it is attached to the jacket is different.
