WTS: Aero Maxwell FQHH, Black, large 38

[RMF308]

**Sold**: Aero Maxwell in Black FQHH. Large size 38.

I've only wore this about 6 times and the sleeves are just starting to show some creasing. I custom ordered this from Carrie at Thurston Bros in May of last year. I have just too many jackets to wear (bought 4 from Carrie last year alone) and I just bought another one so I need to free up some room in my closet. This jacket fits like a 30's HB and seems slightly larger in the P2P area than its tag size.

Wow. Beautiful jacket. Measurements seem closer to a 42" in the chest! Fantastic deal! Wish I had the scratch for it myself.

What was the purpose of 3" of corderoy along the bottom hem?

4spurs, I have a Café Racer with that as well, I believe it's for increased wear/durability around the hem of the jacket, where wool, cotton & sateen/polyester tend to get holes and rub marks on them. Maybe someone else knows this topic better, however seems plausible to me.

Yes, I had it done exactly for that purpose, the corduroy is more resistant to wear and tear against belts, plus it has the added advantage of inhibiting cotton/wool liner sag from dropping below the hem. Carrie told me that my jacket was one of the last jackets to have this option, I believe that Aero no longer offers this option on these jackets (alrhough the MC jackets still have interior leather kidney panels and I believe that the Shearling jackets still have the 3inch corduroy).

Update: this one is now Sold. Thanks TFL
