The new Aeronautical from Aero Leathers - in Petrol Blue

[eggleman]

Love it ... great choice of lining BTW ... can you remember which tartan you ordered ?
did you go for moleskin pocket linings or cotton ?

 

[Carrie @ Thurston Bros.]

I wonder if Ken would be willing to consider an ANJ-3 with that colour, maybe some tan or olive knits...

Here's the lining:

Looks good! These blues really do look great when made into jackets...with how well this came out, the Aeromarine could well be a jacket that is offered in shades of blue...

Best to speak to MM over on classicleatheranddenim.com, he's can give you the details.

I was lucky enough to have a look at this jacket on Monday and was surprised how soft and supple it was, as I'd always associated steer with being heavier than horse.

It's certainly very striking and is a great example of how a small manufacturer can listen to and work with its customers.

nice jacket ...

Finally a style from that era without patch pockets ...... but still one for the button fetishists only ( and that's not me).

Liking the fact it's steer .. I really NEVER understood the facination with FQHH ... there are just so many more options with steer.

UK sourced .. again good job Aero.

Still not really sure about blue leather but each to his own ..... got to applaud the courage

Does AL even offer FQHH?

 

[Plumbline]

No .. but Aero does ....wasn't this about Aero's "New" jacket ......... ??????

Yes ... you're correct. I was confusing your recent posts of your myriad of AL jackets on another thread with this thread. Sorry. [huh]

It is interesting how blue of this sort of shade (or there abouts) has become a 'break-out' colour. Until now, it was the Japanese makers who did this kind of thing. I wonder why it's found favour now? I can see it working with a few of Aero's civvy numbers - the Sunburst and Speedway for a start.

If you like the blue leather, this is a nice choice. This color blue would look good on a Cafe Racer as well. Really like this collar style, would prefer a zipper front and half-belt back for me!

 

[Sloan1874]

I think a zipper will be made available for the Aeromarine eventually, it was just put on the back burner at the time of the April Show.

Looks good! I guess MM's already working the HWT on it.

 

[Fanch]

Already looks broken in. I though he just got it!

 

[Swoosed]

looks at least 1 size too small and way too short. but then again to each his own.

must be what happens when you sit in the bathtub with a jacket on.

BTW- he get booted outta dodge?

Each to their own on sizing, but the steer's got a nice drape and grain already. Good to see the blue in natural daylight as well.

Another 1 1/2" in body and sleeve length would be my choice. Good muted blue color.

the actual leather itself looks fab, but the color is pukey IMO, just me.
