You'll see. ;)

Granted it fits, already have a clean outfit ready to go on the dryer and I shaved yesterday for the fit pics. A great day to play hookie and soak up the sun whilst waiting for the hum of the UPS truck but must resist the temptation to do that...

Not very cool here this morning and the forecast says we are heading back to summer for the rest of the week. Today's jacket choice is probably the least favorite type around here,

Probably late 80s department store lambskin. Ruggadier to be specific.

On the plus side it's about as light as a nylon windbreaker and extremely comfortable to move around in. Probably the least restrictive jacket I have in cloth or leather.

I took out the rather thick shoulder pads the other day and that improved the comfort/mobility factor.

Hope the cool weather is holding in your neck of the woods,

To be honest if you didn't tell me this was trainee jacket I wouldn't have known I can't spot anything stand out wrong with it, I own several other Aero jackets the quality and finish is on par in my opinion maybe someone with a better eye would disagree, for the price I paid I think I got a bargain.

Aero's QC is exacting: they won't let a trainee jacket, even one labelled and priced as such, out of the factory if it isn't great. If you're lucky enough to see the jacket you like in a hide you likein your size turn up on their website as an aprentice made, jump on it. I wasn't sure about the Highwayman model for a long time, then I took a punt on an AM. One of my most-worn jackets now.
