More Two Tone

[Sloan1874]

I do like the idea of cherry and bottle green. I'm not utterly sure about the shoulder panel on the jacket tbh. I'd need to see it in the flesh.

Cherry FQHH -- which is downright gorgeous -- and a VERY dark green Melton wool would be a thing of beauty in this style.

Oh yes, that I would like to see.

I had an Aero 50's HB made last year out of the Black/Green Waterfront wool. Beautiful jacket. I will post some pics of that and my new 2-tone 30's HH /HB if I can ever get my daughter over with her camera! I would also like to see Aero come out with some 1930-1950 style wool patterns, and also be able to get their standard patterns made out of some of a wool material!

Sounds great. I have the WAterfront itself, and I love it. I could be very tempted by a shearling lined jacket in that wool.

Holly, the rumor here is that some new jacket selections will be released in April, if you can answer, will you be releasing the new jacket models all together or will it be a slow rollout of one or two at a time?

We're having a private showing of these new styles in early April, we with then be releasing these new styles together mid-late April. We'll release them all at once so you all have a good idea of whats on offer before ordering

In black leather, with similarly very dark cloth, the jacket could look very close to a "Donkey Jacket".

Nothing wrong with that, per se - LVC have even done a repro of a full blown Donkey Jacket.

That look may well work in say, the US or Japan, but for my UK eyes, Donkey Jackets say "bloke on a bulding site in the 70's".

That would not be a look I would want (although I do wear US denim Chore jackets, so perhaps a little perverse!).

Having said that, I do think a brown hide/green cloth version could be a super combination

Here we go, knew I had photos somewhere. This is the style in the classic green/brown combo.

Another great two tone that has me thinking is the one on Thurson Bros site. Its a lovely aero with half belt back. Its on the banner ad on this site. Im getting closer every day to pulling the trigger. Just ordered my first aero....ben dealing with Rachel. 50s half belt in brown fqhh.....excited..

Great so glad that wool/leather half belt is coming back on. I guess the leather colour options are open? It would be possible to have the black wool with a brown leather for instance.

 

[Bunyip]

That would be nice, even a maroon with brown??

 

[cloudylemonade]

I'm sure we can mix things up based on the available wool... securing regular stock of this is what has caused the hold up of getting this offered as a main product at the moment, but we hope to do this soon

 

[deluxestyling]

Thanks Holly. Are you hoping to offer different coloured wool?

 

[cloudylemonade]

I'll need to get back to you on this... Definitely looking for green & black, I've not asked for an update for a while. Will check!

 

[deluxestyling]

Doubt much else is available but it'll be interesting to see what you can find.

Maybe hit up some pool table resurfacing companies lol

I am hooked. Love this design.

 

[ButteMT61]

I'd like to see someone wearing one. I can see it being awesome or dorky, so I imagine the rest of the wardrobe would make or break it. Any pics on a human?

 

[Boyo]

it would probably look best on someone dressed period correct, 1940's to 50's.

 

[deluxestyling]

I'm hoping Holly comes back with some muted plaid wool like one of these...

But I'd settle for the black wool with light russet med weight horse leather.

 

[ButteMT61]

I want one!

 

[Sloan1874]

Very shortly, Denny will appear again, this time sporting both the Type I and Type II leather and cloth HB...

 

[ButteMT61]

Damnit. And here I said my closet was perfect...
