I sure prefer the more 'tailored' pattern and appearance of the Aero Rockafella.
Thanks for that. Yeah, I think it's the chemical aging work that makes it look more modern to my eye. I wonder how thick it is.
Confirmed with Himel - it's calfskin, supplied by the studio. Studio conducted the treatments on the skin.
So I have actually seen the first two episodes and in this interpretation, he's a ww 1 veteran who's at a bit of a lowpoint with his wife and child having left him, him not being able to pay his bills and his family home he's living in essentially a worthless shed right next to a private airport. Going from there, the idea with the jacket not fitting properly and looking kinda worn out is assumingly to show his financial and overall situation, worn down and all. I am imagining he picked this up new right after the war when he was in better shape, making it 13 years old or something and it went down the same road he did, or he picked used or maybe even a former work coat from his fathers he found in the barn. Either way, it adds up to me, I don't see a problem.
It was a thinner. 9 mm calf hide I did not Source the leather the studio did in Los Angeles. I will post pictures on my Instagram of the original samples that we made all in all there were multiple jackets as they would need more than one. Also the measurements were very specific for the fit.Studio production usually gets involved in the actual distressing - sandpaper's a favorite tool. By the drape it's got to be a more supple skin. Looks kind of goat-ish but I've got some ancient thinner calfskin that has sueded the same way. I sent a note to Himel - see what the response is.
