Custom made by Julie Leitch in October 2022 - the best leather artist at Aero. This is a very slim 38 or a more relaxed 36. The brown is just starting to peak through, but you can expect a lot more teacore as it breaks in. Lovely soft premium Italian horse leather from Vicenza, chosen for the...
I hate to bug Damon when I’m just kicking around ideas and far from placing an order, so I’ll ask those of you who’ve been I. The store recently: so they currently have any thick tan suedes or rough-outs?
I’m thinking about a Matchless Spectre blouson jacket in a more substantial hide and a...

I did have a bad experience with one of the zipper pulls breaking the first time I wore it, but they offered me a...
The Baracuta company founded by John and Isaac Miller in Manchester in the 30s is still around and still making the same jackets.
Sometime in the 70s Baracuta licensed US production to Can Huesen. Quality on these jackets started out as equal to the UK product and declined rapidly. At some...
I’m trying to show a bit more moderation.
My style swings every few years a little like a pendulum between a few different eras/influences. Right now leaning more into something a little dressier and perhaps conservative than the leather, boots, denim vintage style of the last few years. But...
