Badalassi again :D This leather delivers so much of what customers are looking for--moderately thick and heavy, nice flexibility and medium break-in, tons of grain and a fantastic smell! Here's a custom Aero Cafe Racer in Russet Badalassi that was recently delivered to its happy owner in Ontario last week. When you are ready to start your custom Aero order, contact us at sales@thurston-bros.com to reserve a fit jacket and all the leather samples you want to see!

Finally getting to wear my #newtome
@aeroleatherclothing x @thurstonbros leather jacket. I’m told I shouldn’t mix leather colors, but I’m pretty pleased with how the @whitesboots @stitchdownpatinathunderdome pair matches the rest of this fit.

Got to work on an incredible jacket this week, putting in a #10 YKK zipper to make this cafe racer ready for the season! The leather has taken a beating and the resulting patina and grain are phenomenal. We'll put up some detail pics of this jacket in future posts. If you have a jacket (any brand) that needs a refresher on the zipper or another type of repair or alteration, contact us to get an estimate!

Let's hear it for our Seattle locals! Erik is already putting some pressure on his brand new Aero Motorcycle King Ridley jacket (look at the details to see this fantastic features combo) and the Black Badalassi is starting to show shaping and wrinkling. He used our fit jacket process to dial in the size, length and waist taper for the perfect fit!

One more for our Gently Worn stock page! A Willis and Geiger A-2, Brown Goatskin in size 44. The leather is in excellent condition and would make a perfect fall weight jacket!

A follow-up to our post on a zipper replacement last week...the development on this customer jacket is phenomenal! Grain popping, wrinkles from wear, expressive pull-up effect and color marbling. A well-worn jacket may need a new zipper (or several) over its lifetime, but the leather will only get better year after year! Contact us at sales@thurston-bros.com if your favorite jacket (any brand) is in need of a tune-up--

This stunning custom Aero Plainsman just arrived at its new home in Washington, D.C.! Another beautiful example of Badalassi, this time in Russet. The heavyweight Lochcarron tartan is going to make this a winner for an East Coast winter. We use an easy fit jacket process to get the body sizing, sleeve length and body length right, as well as make any other needed adjustments (shoulder width and waist/hem width). Contact us at sales@thurston-bros.com to inquire about starting your custom order!
