How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

I finally pulled the trigger on a Thunderbay, after two years of will I won't I, I finally did (it was probably inevitable). It'll be in black goatskin which natural shearling. Hopefully it'll get here soon, even though I can't wear it outdoors for a while yet.
Congrats man. I know that one has been on your mind for awhile. Great choice.

Real nice and not ordinary. Please let us know what you think once it arrives.

Okay so it finally came in! It's got nice and sturdy, heavy leather. Think it was worn pretty lightly because it's stiff in a few places but nothing a little wear won't fix. A little more trim around the waist than I would like but the shorter than average sleeves are almost the perfect length for me, so I guess I'll just have to lose weight!

Currently rubbing it down with conditioner because the leather is a touch dry.

Badalassi :)

Without Badalassi, I would not have considered Aero. This is nothing against Aero, but I do not like CXL and I have seen many and handled several Vicenza jackets and I prefer Shinki by such a wide margin that Aero was always in this unique category of "on my radar if they get the right leather."

Badalassi was a leather that I wanted a jacket made from ever since I first saw a jacket made from the hide. Once Aero got that leather it was only a matter of time before I ordered something from them.

With boots, I go for craftsmanship above everything else. With leather jackets, the leather itself plays a vastly more important role in comparison to boots.

Shinki is my favorite horsehide as well. I wish Aero offered it! I've never handled a jacket in Badalassi. I look forward to your review!
