Finally Aero have updated their website! Haven't even checked it out yet, thought I'd better post it up for you chaps

Highwayman 20th Anniversary Limited Edition of 500 to commemorate the very first "Highwayman", made and sold in The Thrift Shop in Battersea London in 1983, we are introducing a strictly Limited Edition of 500, each one will be individually numbered by hand.
Since Black was the only colour made in the early days, the Anniversary will only be available in Black. To achieve the look of 20 year old jacket it comes as standard in our vintage horsehide, but it can be made by special request in our standard smooth horsehide or steerhide.
Strictly speaking though, the first Horsehide jackets weren't made till 1986. The lining will also be typical of the early jackets, a lurid Red Stewart Cotton Tartan. The Highwayman became a massive seller in the late 80's and before "every man and his dog" made a copy of the jacket it became famous as "the Jacket of choice" of every Scottish Indie Band from 1984 onwards.
Many a student grant was blown in Legends of Cockburn Street Edinburgh, or Flip in Glasgow, to get that essential piece of Scottish cool, a Black Highwayman.
Word soon spread around the world, and in the early 90's these were being produced in Scotland, London and Canada as we struggled to keep up with Worldwide demand. If you have any special number request please ask if it's not already been issued we'll see what we can do, otherwise you will get the next number available.

I love the look of this jacket.HoosierDaddy said:
