Napped him inflagranti with his new love, a LHB de Luxe.

Hello there,

my name is Betty, I´m the girlfriend of one of your virtual leatherjacket loving friends. Since our first date I know that I have to share Oliver with his leatherjackets. But yesterday I was really fearing to loose him.

Since a few days he was very nervous. After a call with a girl named Amanda we was rather exited. Should I get into trouble? Is there an other one?

See what happend yesterday when I came home from a visit at my parents house:

Standing in front of our door I get a strange feeling.

Entering the appartment I found his cloths lying on the ground. The door of our bedroom was opend. A undefined smell gets into my nose and I hear a quaint noise comming out of the room.

I rushed into the bedroom and found him lying in the bed. It seemed to be very painful for him. Obviously he was not alone!!!

He asked me to leave the bedroom, but I wanted to see who is with him in the bed. This blaggard! I could cry. This is a szene I only know from movies. Comming home finding your man in the bed with an other one.

After ripping away the sheet I saw who lies with him in our bed, a brown LHB de Luxe in a beautiful thick frontquarter horsehide. The new one is a real beauty, so I decided to join her into our family.


Later I took some photos of the new couple outside. I love them both!

Hi guys,

after a 5 month wait my last order from Aero was delivered. A dream came true when I opened the box. The jacket is a real masterpiece.

It is a LHB based on the 1930 pattern with following specification:
- Brown frontquarter horsehide.
- Big fur collar in a nice brown with a throat flap.
- Pockets from the Halfbelt de Luxe.
- Swingback like the Route 66.
- Alpaca lined, with a olive garbadine overlay.
- Slimdowned sleeves.
- 2 inside pockets with snap closer.
- Olive drap top sitching.

Here are some picture of the jacket. Sorry, the pictures bring not out the nice of the color:

A Cossack might have been difficult to explain too...

"Darling...!!! IT'S NOT what it looks like!!"

Hi Gancho.

This is one of my favorite jackets I've seen on FL (and, of course, that's saying a lot).

Enjoy!

Dear Betty,

now that Olli's new obsession "came out of the closet" it is obvious to see that you're relationship has reached a critical point. Look at the nicely tanned smooth skin, the slim and slightly waisted silhouette and the thick bushy hair of his new girlfriend. No wonder he instantly fell in love. I could be seen dating such a beautiful girlfriend. I really have to applaud Olli for his wise choice.

BTW: Cool Chambray shirt and cap!!

Hi Gancho,

That Amanda is a trouble-maker. My wife asked the other day: "why do you have so many emails from this Amanda woman?!" ;)

Really nice custom jacket with some great details, very sharp. Aero really are fantastic...
I especially love the look of the slimmer sleeves - I've requested them for my upcoming Halfbelt - do you find them restrictive at all?

Betty - Just be happy it wasn't a Mariner or Longshoreman - those seafaring types :whistling

Gancho - Great story line and wonderful new Aero. The collar and slim sleeves really give it that period look. Perfect fit too. Enjoy!

Good morning Fedoras,

Betty is still jealous, because now all girls look at me, because of the amazing jacket. ;)

It is nice to read your comments about the story and the jacket.

@Aether: The slimmed down sleeves are fine, but with the Alpaca linning it is quite slim. I will wait till the jacket has some wear, perhaps I have to change the Alpaca in the sleeves to aomething thinner. If you ordered a "normal" linning, definitelly the slim sleeves are the right choice. My new Cafe Racer has also slimmer sleeves and it is perfect.

So long

Olli

The Germans are known for a lot of great things (like the engineering in my Tiguan), but since when has story-telling become one of them? The rest of us are going to have a hard time competing! Thanks for the great posts!

Thanks Joe,

indeed, our cars are really fantastic. I´ve got a BMW 3 series and I´m totally pleased with the car. Fast, economic, safe and really good looking.

It was a great fun to create the story around the jacket. But without the perfect input of all members here it would not have been posible to choose this jacket.

The lounge is a very nice place to stay. I like the people who meet here. I like to read the stories and follow the discussion. And I like to give my thoughts.

Many regards

Olli
