Highwayman ...?

Hi all, I recently acquired a second hand Aero, it looks like a highwayman, however, it has a bi-swing/action back, mouton collar, and I think is made of jerky horsehide, has anyone seen a highwayman with these characteristics ?

PIctures would help - it may be a different model. Also possible it's a product of the Lauder Years when there was a bit of an "anything goes" culture that turned out some interesting jackets (and some real monstrosities!).

Well, Holly replied this :
I’m afraid I don’t have any details for this jacket on record, it was sold via a stockist.



This is a modified Highwayman, but I’m not sure when this was made. Likely around 10 years ago, as this machinist hasn’t worked for Aero for some time.
