Great news for Aero customers outside of the U.S., especially with the pricing being a bit sharper going forward.

Shhh. You're giving me ideas.
Nice profile pic. lol
I think the closer comparison would be shinki.

Very pronounced grain and suppler than CXL FQHH, it's a vegetable tanned HH, not combination tanned like the CXL. In my mind, not better, but different. Give us all more choices from Aero.
My sentiments exactly. Of the stuff I saw at the factory, my personal preference is for the seal.

A bit like WDW above, I'm well aware of it, but just haven't paid any real close attention to it.
I'm considering a jacket right now & am lening towards the FQHH in brown mainly due to the way in which everyone talks about the beautiful deep rich colour of this hide from Aero.
How does the Italian hide compare?
Keep in mind that I'm in Sydney which is not really Scotland as far as cold weather goes.
I'm thinking a mid weight hide may be better, but really want a great colour with some 'depth' to it.
Thoughts?

I'm (hopefully) due soon a Tumbled Brown Teamster.
Hopefully it will be as good as I expect it to be.

I received a half belt in the Vicenza that had to go back due to sizing issues, the seal Vicenza was so close in colour and depth of colour to the regular FQHH brown that in my eyes its essentially the same. The only real differences I could tell were more grain and less weight on the Vicenza although its still substantial and not a fashion jacket leather weight. They apparently age differently so not sure how the colours would compare a few years down the track but on the one I received, when new was as close to the same as FQHH as you could get.

Thanks ProtienNerd
Here's a quick pic of my Shackleton in seal Vinceza after a few months wear. You can see it's developing nicely. I personally feel that a HH much heavier than this would be too much. This HH is pretty much the perfect weight. The color starts to pop with nice rich undertones fairly quickly. Sometime in the future I'm going to get a Bootlegger or Maxwell in this leather.
