When I was down at the Eastman shop last week, for comparisons sake I tried on one of their B6s. I was immediately struck two things - firstly, how much more crinkly and stiff the exterior of the jacket was (Aero's is buttery soft from the get go), and secondly by how much shorter the pile of their fleece was versus Aero.
I recall Holly telling me that the original WW2 specs demanded 1/4 inch shearling, but they go for 1/2 inch to prolong the life of the jacket. This is a good enough reason for me, but at the moment my B6 is still looking very fluffy around the cuffs and hem...has anybody with an Aero sheepskin got any experience of it "wearing down"? How long does it take on average?
