Happy new year gents! Enjoying seeing your jackets even though it's 115 degrees F outside and the bushfire smoke haze is blanketing the entire city. Yes, you read it right, 115. Enjoy your celebrations and stay safe!

Aero early Connoly Patrolman's Police jacket acquired from an FL member. When this jacket 1st arrived I thought about selling because of the wide shoulders and baggy arms. After wearing the jacket frequently over the past month I decided to keep it. I like the feel of the jacket, It's my only Perfecto style jacket the pockets are handy to hold keys, electronic dog collar transmitter, cell phone, and gloves.
I am considering have Johnson Leathers install straps and buckles on the sleeves to close them at the wrists.

I always stop scrolling the page at this jacket. It's stunning. The pockets are so well placed. It's odd, at first I thought it's just their Motorcycle Jacket but now I see it's got those underarm football things, which none of my MC jackets ever had. It looks too good. Should've gotten that one myself...

This is the first time I see an Aero Biker jacket with undersrm gussets and it also is the first time I see the Aero motorcycle jacket style that has a decent length in back and front (not rising up at the belly). Makes one wonder which genius at Aero decided to change that pattern to what it is today...

I believe this Aero would have too much volume in the chest and body for you Monitor. And considering your issue with the sleeves on Your Speed Demond, the sleeves on this Aero would drive you over the edge. I do understand why you admire the jacket. I think the volume in the body and the baggy sleeves make sense for a patrol officer who needed an option to layer under and wear gloves tucked inside the sleeves.
On another note, the Cal Leather I got from you fits like a bespoke jacket, now that I have finished trimming down. I still am thankful for that one

This is by far my heaviest jacket... I would’ve thought it was more.
