Sleeves and back look perfect. I think a half belt does not have to be super trim like a cafe racer. Look at the pictures how they were back in the 30s or 50s. This could be the jacket you will be still wearing in ten years. Let it adapt to your body or your body to the jacket, both ways will...
Here's what I've been wearing almost every time when there was a chance to wear a leather jacket the last year.
Now that it's one year old it eventually feels broken in. Super thick cordovan steerhide PHWM.
Cheers!
I've only seen this jacket on their Homepage so far.
Looks good and great fit!
How is the quality compared to other manufacturers?
They also have some other interesting jackets.
I think I have to go to Vienna and visit them!
Enjoy!
We have not seen you in this Jacket for quite a while.
Great that you still own and wear it! Awesome Jacket!
If I would order a new Aero, it would be... - exactly like this one.
Cheers!
With all these denim jackets I had to take a picture of my half belt. Wanted to sell it but just too hard to let it go. Although I have to confess that I recived a waxed canvas trucker jacket yesterday for warmer weather.
Spring is coming!
Aero Premier Highwayman Cordovan Steerhide.
I never saw this kind of grain before. It's getting more beautiful from day to day!
Waiting for the first rain, it should make it pop out even more.
Depending on the light, the color ranges between purple and dark red/brown.
Really...
I mesured the length of the seam to the tip it's 8.5cm. On the Half Belt it's 7.5cm. But the shape is very different. There's a comparison in the Aero collar shapes thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-collar-shapes.93749/#post-2413179
Yes, the collar is quite impressive. When I saw it the first time I wasn't shure if it might be too big for my taste. But worn it looks ok to me. It almost got some kind of 60's vibe. I'll mesure it when I'm at home.
Hello and thanks to all!
A lot of helpful thoughts. At the moment I'm thinking to keep the Highwayman. I like it a lot and hope it will develop as well as the horsehide Half Belt.
There are still a lot of interesting options out there: Leither has a beautiful button cuff Sheene,
a Seven with...
Thank you for your quick replies!
Both Jackets are standard, Half Belt size 38, Prem. HYMN size 40.
Sadly, there's no way to keep both. My self imposed limit is one brown/cordovan and one black jacket (in that price range). So it should also be versatile. That's why my wife votes for the HYMN...
Hello!
I just got a new Premier Highwayman in Cordovan Steerhide and I can't decide if I like it more than my trusty (one year) old Half Belt in brown CXHH. I wanted a new one because the Half Belt still is a little tight at my chest and my shoulders.
Otherwise I like it a lot, the leather is...
After reading for two years I had to sign up because this is another really entertaining thread!
Makes me think of trying to protect my 30's half belt with my bare hands and my knees when I accidentally fell of my bicycle. So now I just call it "faster aging process" and relax.
