    Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?

    Thank you for the clarification! It would be a motocycle jacket for non-riding wear for sure :) My 'quest' for a tan KoTR started after reading/following this post https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-natural-cxl-hh-j-106-kotr-indian-mix-biker-jacket.97528/ It so amazed me a seemingly...

    Asked Holly why Pinnacle is not available as a customisation option on Aero website - and got the following interesting reply "This isn’t listed for this style as this leather isn’t really the ideal choice for a motorcycle jacket, but we can do it. If you could select ‘I’ll decide later’ when...

    Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?

    Very fair comments and sound advice. To me the aero HWM is a rainy windy cold wintery day jacket (about 70% of the year in London!) And I just want another jacket for the sunny weather - you know, nice tan glowing under the sun but not baking hot yet (about 10% of the year). The remaining 20%...

    Good point re sweaty satin! I intend to wear this late spring /early summer jacket unzipped, except when heading out in morning when it can be a chilly 10-12d in London before the sun is fully up. Also if I come home late after sunset I can zip up when temps drop to sub 15. Holly said they...

    Would you be so kind as to post a fit pic? Aero quoted me £100 extra for this combo. How bad is the badalassi squeaking?

    Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?

    Thank you guys appreciate it as always. After ordering pinnacle cognac sample I realized it’s not a customization option for KotR. Email sent to Holly to clarify. One thing to note is the blattwerk mahogany sample I got was quite dry - driest if all samples - almost feel if it got wet or dirty...

    Precisely why I post here to get good advice to avoid road to regret. I also consider aero resale value would be a lot higher than SB. Decision decision decision. Sleep on this for a while. No need to rush for a dream jacket. I’ve been wearing my HWM a lot lately and it does beg the question...

    I’m very grateful to the detailed info and sound advice. I will ask Debs if she can customize the Daytona - with a back top like roadster or tailgunner. I need 19 shoulder, 22-23 chest and 20 hem. Does your SB Daytona have tie strings on side panels like Vanson? I’m not too keen on this detail...

    definitely dont want the 'unfinished' type - I'm looking for a rich tan or light colour than brown. I've ordered 4 more samples from Aero - Vicenza: Russet, pinnacle cognac, badalassi russet, and rust goat suede a radical thought - unlined suede?
