I kind of want to know what's the story with this brand.

Holy sheeit @Marc mndt

Funny thing is I have friends who’d love the big fuzzy thing.

And I would actually buy that LSD Snakeskin situation if it fit, no question

From the front I thought it was a pretty good looking jacket. But then you get to the backside and expose all those side adjusters

This is the weirdest Aero I've ever seen, I'm glad they moved on from doing full customs such as this.

Someone must have had enough of Aero's sizing to come up with such a foolproof plan.

It is a nice jacket, though. Cutting the extra four extra straps off would immediately save it.

Yeah that would "fix" my slightly balloony Blue label Highwayman in 44" haha...

That could actually look pretty cool if it were black instead of white, with natural-looking snake panels.

That's the second Radjacke I've seen in the wild.

Jackets like that are *why* Ken no longer allows "whatever custom you want" options!

Would stop the inside upper-arms from getting scuffed too. I can't imagine they serve much practical purpose, somebody just liked them.... Unless it was made for a curvy lady who was trying to work around the limits of a jacket patterned for a male body...

The original Radjacke model was based on a German jacket owned by John Lever, though there were changes made. The model was made in and around 2011, when Lauder was still running Aero and Ken was in retirement. As memory serves, it had certain differences from the original; Will didn't so much copy it as put a different front on a30s Halfbelt. I believe the side fittings were somewhat different on the original than standard half-belt side straps. When Ken came back, the Radjacke was dropped from the line, so this is probably one of the very few that were ever actually made.

I'd actually quite like to see Aero do a copy of the original now, which is accurate ot the original, including the double-row of buttons.
