    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?

    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?

    Top left - CXL HH natural Bottom left - goat russet from Aero (too bad it’s too dark for me liking) Top right - Blattwerk Mahogany (my fav color) Bottom right - Mustang natural HH from SB

    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...

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

    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.

    After quite some time considering, looking at other brands here and on ebay - I'm ready to put in an order for Aero KoTR! There is something about the D-pocket and the back of this design that bugs me - if I settle for anything else, like a Daytona (with the plain back) - this will always haunt...

    Replace factory Aero Talon zipper with heavy duty zipper - UK

    I’d like to ask if anyone in UK knows a shop that can replace the factory flimsy talon centre zipper on aero jacket with a heavy duty one, like some of those on Vanson jackets? Aero told me the only other option they offer is the Universal zipper which is same size as the Talon one.

    Fair Usage Bumping Policy

    I do personally find the 'daily bumps' excessive and unfair and to the degree of annoying - from a potential buyer perspective as well - I often need to go on to page 2 or 3 to see 'genuinely new ads' which are of great interest to me. Please, at least give it a week between 'bumps'!

    Aero King of the Road

    Hi Guppy, I am considering ordering a KOTR, and wonder if you still have this jacket? If so would you be so kind to advise what is the collar to hem length? It does look rather short in your pics, and I don't know if this is standard, or a custom built one for shorter/riding purpose. Thank you!
