Hi all,
Just wanted to share photos of the Aero Seven I received this past weekend through eBay.
About the jacket:
Just wanted to share photos of the Aero Seven I received this past weekend through eBay.
About the jacket:
- Made in 2017
- Seal Vicenza horsehide
- Size 42
- Crail Check Tweed lining with black cotton sateen in sleeves. Pockets lined in brown moleskin
- Nickle Talon zips, except for chest pocket, which is a Waldes zip
- No internal or external kidney panels
- Olive drab stitching
- This is my second Aero. The first was a FQHH CR bought new in 2010
- Compared to the CR, this one is simply a lot easier to wear--lighter weight, the shape is less extreme, the sateen-lined sleeves make it easy to put on, and the moleskin-lined pockets feel good. I also like the smaller upper sleeves vs my CR. The original owner IMO made some really smart design choices
- This will be my daily jacket, which involves riding my Moto Guzzi V7 Classic back and forth from the train station for work. It doesn't give me as much protection as my armoured jackets, and I'm OK with that. Lookswise, I feel it's a versatile jacket I can wear to work or on the weekends.
- I tend to like my jackets a bit long to cover my lower back while on the motorbike. This one's got a 24.75" back length that just barely covers my belt
- I'm 5'6" 165 lbs and I like my jackets to be form-fitting but not tight. Hopefully I've sized properly to accommodate the 5-10 lbs I'll probably be gaining at the end of the year when I quit smoking (again). Turns out my sz 38 CR shrunk over the past 10 years, but inexplicably only on the midsection . . .
- The seller was truly top notch -- answered all my annoying fit questions, sent it fast, and shipped the jacket flat and wrapped in tissue
