Agreed. Aero really nailed it with this jacket. They're right about their version being the best on the market. Shame there aren't any more fit pics around.
I wish Aero offered the Type III with handwarmer pockets. They've been made like that for decades now, though not originally, and being an 80s kid it really feels right to have them, and an inside pocket. Shearling lining/collar would be a good option as well... I better stop thinking about it.

Agreed. I sort of miss the pockets on my Vanson Lee jacket but probably mostly 'cause I always had 'em on the Type-3 I recently sold and have gotten used to them being there. But yeah, got the hand-warmer and inside pockets on both IH's and they make the jacket sooo much more practical. No, actually, they make the jacket practical. Period. The two chest pockets are next to useless and (un)buttoning them is a choir, especially on a leather jacket.

As for the collar, that's definitely going to happen on my jacket. I'll install it myself if needed! It makes all the difference...

I have a denim fleece lined Levi's that just keeps getting better with age.

I don't NEED it in leather, but I kinda need it in leather.

I have them in everything, denim, lather, suede, nylon and I need more. Especially in leather. That's a nice one! Such luxurious fleece. Lol. They don't use this kind anymore. New ones are so thin...

Yeah, I don't know how old this one is, I got it for $10 from a bulletin board ad at work, about 10 years ago. Total steal. Fits great. And so warm. The fleece is polyester, but it does the job, and looks good.

Today I wore a Cockpit “100-Mission” G-1. Mission 101 was 8-hours out in a boat in NY harbor, keeping me warm on a cold blustery day!
The 100-Mission has awesome washed/vintage goatskin and overall the jacket looks quite similar to photos I’ve seen of some WWII Willis & Geiger M-422a jackets.

IH trucker is very nice but I'd always rather pick Aero's version. Especially at that price. They got the look of the thing just right. The length, sleeves... I dunno, just looks so cool.

Now that one looks cool, but as is so often the case, it's the really photo and the model that makes it work.
