    Hi Folks, looking for help in identifying/value of this 70s Cafe. Only labels are pictured, thanks in advance

    The worth of it depends on how much you like/wear it.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    This Rainbow Country Rough Wear repro is on its way The RC is remarkably slimmer than my size 46 RMC A-2 (below) by the measurements, so it should fit me better. If this turns out so, I'll let the RMC go next week.

    Aero 1920s Work Coat Collar...

    Thanks! It's been much loved ever since I got it some five years ago. Definitely underrated model in Aero's range and too rarely seen in here.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow, that's how A-2 should fit! Owning a repro of the same contract, I can tell that's especially tricky one to nail the fit of. Congrats!

    Aero Board Racer Back Panel

    Mine has a straight yoke across the shoulders and a flip-side kidney panel to add some weight and make the hem sit firmly on the back. Have liked the construction and it also differs nicely from my Cafe Racers' back panels. Solid, clean look, like this:

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    I would also recommend tumbled CXL. The leather has been given an extra tumbling to break it in and give it much softer finish compared to regular, stiff and shiny CXL. Based on my experience of Aero's offerings, the difference is clear, both in terms of stiffness and looks.

    Simmons Bilt

    Thanks, much appreciated! I happen to know the tannery; indeed a small-ish, family-run one located in the Northern Finland: https://www.kokkolan.com/ I'll check the LW thread for more info.

    The elk looks great! Any idea of the tannery?

    For me, this is one of the nicest A2's out here. Both the fit and the hide look great, and they also pair nicely together!

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    This is sentence is puzzling. What do you mean by 'walking' in this? Some kind of hiking, ie. 'Wanderung'?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wow, just wow! This is exactly how I like my jackets to fit: slim and supple. As you might remember, we ordered our Corsairs pretty much the same time. I decided to take the very basic route: black veg tan sheep, red quilted lining, black zipper tapes and not the tightest fit overall. That was...

    Wow, a thing of beaut! Really liking the dark brown sheep and the houndstooth lining combo.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    If you could elaborate which problems exactly you have faced and/or try to avoid, it would be easier to get the idea what's actually at stake. Do you have some of your own jackets for reference about these? This would help a lot.

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    Which problems are you actually referring to? As others have pointed out, making leather jackets is a very different endeavour to working with textiles. And with leather jackets, we're talking about outerwear: you can wear jackets with different layers underneath, and kind of adjust the sizing...

    Got this Aero Hockey Coat from the 90s in heavy steerhide on the way:

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks. IFAIK moosehides tend to be quite heavily scarred which makes using them challenging in jackets. I have some contacts to tanneries in Northern Europe and have considered to have a jacket made out of Scandinavian elk, but there seems to be many issues on the way to make these plans come...
