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...- NamoAmituofo

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

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%...- NamoAmituofo

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

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?- NamoAmituofo

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...- NamoAmituofo

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

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

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

Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?
Hmm... you got me thinking about the Blattwerk Mahagony from Simmons Bilt again!! lighter weight for sure and breathes better I'm sure due to natural tanned. SB charges £150 for that leather on top of the £675 for standard Daytona, which is the closest to what I want (that's already £825 VS...- NamoAmituofo

Thank you! What would you say is a better choice for warmer weather? goat, or mid weight Italian HH, perhaps satin lined?- NamoAmituofo

How come natural HH is extreme to you? I thought this is the hide that gives most character from wearing. I do understand goat tends to look the same even after worn in.- NamoAmituofo
