I have to make some space in my wardrobe for other jackets.
Unfortunately I consider letting this gorgeous Aero Ridley I purchased through Thurston Bros. go. My style shifted more towards 1930/40 inspired and this cross-zip biker jacket did not get much wear in the recent time.
Overall the jacket is in fantastic condition. Basically I put in the work to get the grain popping and soften up the leather and now someone else can take over. The price for the jacket was $1,250 - selling for $700 (offers accepted).
Key differences compared to the standard Ridley:
1) Three-Pocket front (no bar studs, no epaulets, no belt loops and no belt)
2) No lower front panel
3) Place lapel snaps between leather layers; snaps should not be visible on inside of lining
4) Add regular brass snaps on collar and lapels, like on J106.
5) Back—one piece back with curved kidney panel and no shoulder gussets
6) Double side cinches
7) Olive Drab stitching
8) Regular Aero label; new Thurston label in lower front left hem
Measurements:
Shoulder: 19.3
P2P: 23.5
Hem: 21.3
Back: 26.4
Front: 28
Arms: 28.3
Pictures speak more than thousand words:
