Came across these photos of an Aero Hooch Hauler while looking for nice grain examples of Tobacco Badalassi for a customer! Seems like every photo of Badalassi shows some variation of its beautiful grain and character. This is a medium thick hide, but it is flexible right out of the box and will start shaping to you in first few days of wear! Make sure to request Badalassi and a variety of other leather samples when you start our easy fit jacket process--

Love this combination of Russet RAF shearling with Russet trim! It's a medium contrast that highlights the beautiful seaming on this RAF contract.

Chromexcel Steerhide is one of those "underrated" leather options in the Aero catalog, but the beauty of it comes through in photos and in person! It's got that CXL heft and thickness, but a softer, more pliable hand compared to CXL FQHH. Make sure to request CXL Steerhide and a variety of other leather samples when you start our stress-free fit jacket process!

We're thrilled to open a new box of Thedi jackets this week! Here's the first one of the batch--an Atlas in Hand-Dyed Cocoa Toscano with an olive cotton lining. Thedi's relicing and hand-dyeing is amazing and the character of this full grain leather is enhanced by many hours of labor! More jackets to come as we process this group and get the stock items listed--

The details on the Vanson Chopper are beautiful and functional--double side buckles, quilted shoulders and elbows and riveting on the buckles and lower panels! Our Choppers are made with Black Comp. Weight, nickel hardware and a black rayon lining (more versatile than the standard quilted lining). We also offer the full range of sizes 36-46 in stock! Check out our Chopper listings here--

Simple, classic half belt jacket--the Thedi Memphis is understated in design, but the hand-dyed Cocoa Toscano puts this vintage style into its own category! Beautiful color, grain and character throughout the panels. We have the Memphis back in stock in sizes Medium-3XL, ready for delivery on our Thedi Stock page--

The Aero 1930s Half Belt was one of the very first jackets we received from Scotland and it quickly became a customer favorite for in-stock sales and custom orders! The Aero catalog has expanded quite a bit since then, but this style remains as popular as ever. When you are ready to start your custom Aero build, contact us at sales@thurston-bros.com to use our easy fit jacket process!
