I know, I know it's been more than a year since I posted something on the lounge, sorry, life is quite hetic...
But I have a good reason to come back!
In 2018, Craig aka @Superfluous posted a new Cross-zip by RMC in wool with leather trims.
I like the concept a lot but it is RMC, meaning it's pricey and I can't customize the size...
In october, I wanted to buy a new jacket (I haven't since my B3) and didn't know what kind of jacket I wanted and I had enough leather jackets (don't throw stones at me, I know you can't have enough jackets in your closet) then I remembered Craig's post.
So I decided on a cross zip in wool.
Naturally I talk to Holly at Aero and she put Sam in the loop (my usual contact for all my Aero jackets) for this little project of mine.
So we talk measurements, the fit, the materials...
And this is what we come up with :
- Hooch Hauler
- Navy Melton Wool with navy vicenza trims
- Navy thread
- Leather : top collar, facings, halfbelt and pocket welts
- Brass antique hardware
- Buchanan blue tartan for the lining (to go with my scraf from Lochcarron)
I was quite excited to see the result...
And today I get it, the Hooch Hauler is stunning and of course the fit is superb.
I will let you judge the final result :
