I have never noticed this jacket at Aero. And it looks rather unspectacular on their website, but I think it's really cool in your picture.

Well if I'm not mistaken it is literally the one on display on their site

Still one of Aero’s best patterns and styles. Makes me miss mine, though I really like the house (whatever that is) that you went for here

Still a bit puzzled you let that one go, it was a stunner!

Yes, but at your picture it’s looks a lot better

This is such a cool jacket. I was debating between this and an Indian ranger when aero had their sale last fall. I ended up getting the Indian ranger and returning it which is another story, but seeing yours makes me think I should have gone for the KotR. Great fit on it.

A great looking jacket. But do you find the neck snap annoying?

A few years back I didn’t like them. Now they are one of my favourite styles. Along with cafe racers they are also the only I have several of.

Interesting that you mention that, I tried several cafe racers for the first time some days ago and the moment I put them on I knew that style wasn't really for me somehow. It's not that they looked bad, it's more like.. you put something on and it kinda clashes with "you" -but maybe only in your own mind.

I totally get it. Some styles just doesn’t feel right. That can change however. Cafe racers were one style that didn’t feel right for me a few years ago. They’re not my favourite design yet and probably never will be. But they’re easy and cheap to find second hand and quite a few nice ones sneaked into my collection.

I’ve never used the snap. The neck is loose enough that I don’t notice the snap while wearing it. I wish it had a two way zipper though, or that the zipper started a little higher up from the bottom of the jacket.

Oh man first of all … the RC fits you perfectly. I mean can it be any better ? But you are right on the two way zipper. I have the RM version and love it but I wish it had the two way zipper (while historically not correct but it would be very useful). I could have used it on the bike. That said, RM zipper starts somewhat about 4 in from the bottom which gives it a little room to move and spread.

Such a nice jacket. I remember you beating me to that one online. Looks good with those trousers and the hat.

Thanks! Denim is Gustin Persimmon, and the hat is a Knox from the 1940s.

I am still in the market for that jacket in my big but 44 size. I still have my two originals I wore back in 1981 and later in 1988. They are in great condition and truly one of the best café racer style jacket. Just a step above Cal & Bates.

The Sportster will definitely be a keeper for me, as well as a Cal. As such, I need to be putting up a couple Kehoes for sale since I don't need four cafe racers.
