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

I told myself don’t do it. I asked j max to convince me not to and he did. But then I did it anyway.
Worst case scenario, I replace the hem band with corduroy and wear it as a reversible.

officially put the deposit down on the CXL natural HH route 66 from Aero. Nothing against thurston bros but Holly was super helpful with my first jacket and really nailed what I wanted, so I see no need for the fit jacket. Unfortunately it probably wont be cold when I get it but still looking forward to it. This is my one last big purchase (for a while), since the missus and I are about to have a big move in more ways than one

Well then: congrats on what is sure to be a great jacket AND on the big move (in every way)!

This arrived yesterday. I’ll post some pics tomorrow I hope. Here is a low grade bathroom pic for now. I’m still on the fence about keeping it. I think it may be a little long and I’d want to take it in around the torso. The question is, does it join my little club. View attachment 485966 View attachment 485967

Fits a bit like mine. Greg may have struggled a bit with patterns in his early days. Zipped-up, mine had a bit of a „beak“ too, but it eased with wear as the large front-panels got more drape. Worn open, it’s a killer jacket.

Vanson caught me in a marketing email web. I broke down and this is coming—

My god, it’s kind of amazing they manage to sell any jackets at all with those website photos…
take a picture of yourself in the jacket when it arrives and send it back to Vanson, show them what that jacket is supposed to look like!

Ha. Honestly I just focus on the jacket. It’s what I do here too. I enjoy fit photos but they don’t help me in any real way.

As I understand it, they simply walk around their facility and tap folks to go get photographed in jackets. Better ways definitely exist lol.

Just received this custom Ridley from Thurston Brothers yesterday! Tumbled Chromexcel Horsehide, Rob Roy tartan, brown stitching, and removable brown mouton collar.

I just received my first Aero jacket (and my first non-lambskin leather jacket ever).
Also just joined this forum so welcome!


Aero LHB, Battered Seal HH

I was expecting a lot and I was actually still positively surprised with the leather, build quality, hardware.
It's a keeper, it fits me how I like - I downsized a bit from my chest (43'') because it's 50s pattern, but I picked stock model with slightly longer (me being 6''2' I prefer at least 26'' length).

I think it fits me well, definitely well enough to keep it, have walked in it couple of times and I feel great in it!

What I found out is it's hard to take fit photos of yourself, I will try something out today to post a fit pics.

Anyhow, I am 100% satisfied, it's definitely not my last jacket (And I knew it wouldn't be, I got a collection of 16 pairs of HQ boots for example, I know how it works :))

Just a word, this forum has been a massive help for me, trying to learn about fitting, sizing, styles, brands etc. - so thank you all very much!
