FS: Aero 101J Lee Leather Jacket, made by Ken Calder, 42-ish

Aero Leathers Lee 101J styled trucker leather jacket in a size Large or 42.

$800 + shipping and that's kind of firm tough fair offers will be considered. If it doesn't sell, good. Great! Paypal, F&F.

This trucker is made in heavy, brown Jerky horsehide; Some of the best leather I've ever handled. Very stiff, sturdy and tough. IMO, higher grade hide than CXL and equally thick.

This particular jacket was one of few very early prototypes Aero did for the upcoming Lee style that never seemed to have been realized.
It was made by Ken Calder, owner of Aero, himself. Workmanship is another level altogether, as you can clearly see, I'm sure. Masterclass work. IMO miles above regular Aero work.

I'll go as far as to say that this is the nicest leather jacket you can hope to own by any maker. If you dig this style, if it fits you, this is it. Endgame piece, as far as leather truckers go.

Condition is near new! Mint. Not even close to being broken in so you got your work cut out for you. Nothing else to add.

Haven't had it on nearly as much as I wanted to and now it doesn't fit me anymore. The way it looks on me, I might as well be wearing a box.
So, I could either keep it on a hanger forever and admire it but that kind of sucks so I'm thinking i

Measurements are...
  • Chest width or P2P, measured at front: 58 cm / 22.8"
  • Waist width: 52 cm / 20.5"
  • Shoulders width, measured at back: 52 cm / 20.5"
  • Sleeve length, measured following the outside curve of the sleeve: 67 cm / 26.3"
  • Back length, without collar: 59 cm / 23"
That's it. Any questions at all or if you need any more info on measurements or photos, etc.; Write! Thank you for looking. Cheers.

That is nice. Love that it is unlined. A jacket by Mr. Calder himself feels pretty epic.

I had a few photos of a very, very old Lee jacket, I think it was from the late 40's or something like that and it was exactly as this jacket, unlined and all.

Dang. And I thought my Lee Trevor was the endgame. I just got one upped.
No more endgame than this, I'd say. :)

Will you throw in the Chrome Hearts vest?! :)
If someone throws in additional $5000, sure! :D
