Thanks. It's nice to rediscover the half belt type sport jacket . I was afraid at size 42, this one would be too roomy, but it feels just right.
Have you
have you made a thread about this shirt? It’ll be interesting to watch it’s evolution

that's settling nicely. I "massaged" my collars for a little bit to help them to settle down some. I did the same on the pocket tops and the button side placket because the leather is doubled up in those areas. I think IH (well SB really) should have skivved the leather in a few spots. Even Theo noted this when I showed him the shirt. Anyway, I just kind of folded it up on itself over and over again, maybe 30 times or so a day for a few days. It helped take off some of the "sharpness". But overall, you're getting a really nice shirt look. After about 10-15 wears I noticed some decent shaping so it doesn't take long.
I don't recognise the model, which is it please? Colorado?
Chopper with a collar and a C2 waist - hmmm, whatever it is it looks great on you!

Yep, it’s the Colorado. Thanks, I love it!
I´ve been quite the "massager" myself. I remember how I mistreated my first Aero into submission for weeks.
I still can see the attraction, especially on parts that are not exposed to a lot of natural stress (collar being the most promiment).
At the moment I am going the "wellness" route without any artificial strain. In the end this will probably lead to the thicker/doubled parts taking on a different look than the broken-in parts, so this may be an attractive contrast.
Still too new to really show its potential, but so far I am enjoying the journey.
Never too much, but there was a good suggestion to start a dedicated thread on this shirt so we can see the evo in one place.

Everything about this jacket is beautiful, the glow of the leather is amazing. May I ask, is it a very dark brown?Thanks to heavy rains and temperatures' drop I was able to let my old Aero's motorcycle jkt takes some air... View attachment 530001View attachment 530000
