Are you sure? It looks like a tweed to me.

Tweed... Plaid... I get them mixed up...

I wouldn't say that too loudly over here...

I think that's the Crail Check Tweed that Thurston love so much.

Here's a pic of the lining. It's one of the Lochcarron plaids. Don't remember which one exactly.

I like the new Thurston label!

I like the new Thurston label!

Me too! It's a nice touch. Also, down the line, it will be good information to have for resale or reference.

Great looking jacket and great fit! Thanks for all the details!

It's great to see photos of custom jackets on their new owners--that Board Racer with a D-pocket turned out really well! If you'd like to get started on a custom Aero order, give us a call to order a fit jacket for any of Aero's 70+ jacket styles!

First photos of the Aero Fontana Racer in blue full grain cowhide! Brass Talon and Conmar hardware. Blue/Tan A-1 photos coming in the next couple of days!

I'm sure I just saw a guy wearing this jacket. Blue isn't a color of leather I'd consider going for, but he looked really cool!
But then he was slimmer than me.
And younger.
And much 'cooler'.

Yep, if you're young, slim and cool you could probably get away with a lime green one. By the way, I think the blue will work a lot better on a range of folk once it's broken in creased and scuffed up. At the moment it looks a little... stiff.

This jacket was done as an homage to the brightly colored cafe' racer jackets (and race suits) of 1960's Southern California...we've always been huge fans of this era and the new versions really do need some wear-and-tear to get the right look!

We're open today from 12pm-6pm if you'd like to come on by to browse our Aero, Vanson, Thedi and vintage jackets! Now is the perfect time to get fitted for a custom Aero and get into our February production batch...

Understated and really looks great. I like watching this thread for the Tartan choices as it's the one part of the jacket that you can really do something unique with...

I've REALLY been enjoying the tartan lining that Carrie put in my Aero 50's halfbelt this winter so far.
Jacket fits better & is less scratchy than the original alpaca. Seems to be just as warm too....

Tom,

That looks really good, both the tartan and the leather itself, great work by Carrie. So many people are used to wool being scratchy that they don't realize that top quality stuff is very smooth and comfortable.

 

[Carrie @ Thurston Bros.]

Thanks guys! The lightweight wools from Lochcarron are very fine and soft compared to typical wool fabrics--great for almost year-round wear in some climates.

We're open today at the shop from 12pm-6pm...come on by to browse our large selection of leather jackets or get fitted for a custom Aero!
