@Dav you always seem to come up with thye coolest pictures. Who is your photographer? Your pictures illustrate how a Highwayman should look.

Dav, you are the only one who can make an Aero shoulder droop. What measurements do you give to Aero? Size 44 chest but 38 waist?

Thanks,If I recall I just gave them my chest and height, then asked for a 26 arm and 26 length, the jacket is basically standard.

This is actually amazing. Obviously, this jacket has seen a lot of use of the kind that not many people will put their Aero through but regardless, not one stitch seems to be out of place. The leather has plenty of character, there are many surface nicks and all but I don't see that it's actually damaged anywhere at all! That photo with the jacket just lying on the floor, looks like it's a brand new jacket made from a heavily distressed hide.
I'm just for the first time realizing how quality these things are. You've had that HWM for nine years now and that comes out at what, 75 GBP a year for a jacket that still looks like it could go for another 20 years. That's a damn good deal.
