First Aero - 1930s Half Belt STF (Aero Japan)

[Pferdeleder]

Jacket looks amazing! I am thinking about something similar.

I have a question, though: are the Japanese Aero jackets different from Aeros in the West? I mean--I am about the same size as you: would I have to order from Japan to get a similar fit? Thanks so much!

Hey Chris,

Yes, STFs are 'different', in the sense compared to non-STF regular version. But in itself this is a moot point given STFs are technically JDM exclusive.

STFs do pop up from time to time on Aero website under ready stock, from samples, returns or cancelled orders.

The rest of Aero Japan's fairly limited range should be the same sizing as Aero UK / Thurston.

For what its worth, I wouldn't recommend buying them sight unseen.. best you fly there and make a holiday out of it.. and pick up some raw denim, workwear, boots, and drink vulgar amount of Nikka / Yamazaki while you're at it.

Cheers.
