I believe this is the first time I've seen a D'Aquino on the secondary. I love mine - it's also beaver (Esther gave me beaver for the price of rabbit when you couldn't find a rabbit in the color I wanted, which should tell you what kind of customer service she provides).
I would add here that having taken delivery on my tumbled FQHH Bootlegger (pics a few threads down), I don't find it especially bulky and it's not at all stiff - it's not a lightweight by any means but it wears very comfortably right out of the box.
So here's a question for you gents... Will the tumbled process have any impact on a jacket's resistance to rain? I would assume not - CXL HH is still CXL HH - but you never know.
I've only had my tumbled FQHH for less than a week, so obviously not a lot of actual wear experience. But I concur with Carrie's assessment that it's quite soft and very flexible - not at all stiff. It's also not as heavy as standard FQHH, though I don't have an Aero in that hide handy to do a...
AFAIK it's the standard model. That's certainly how it was listed on the Aero site.
I'm inclined to agree - if I had to pick slightly too large or slightly too small, I'd take the former. And experimenting with the straps I think I can improve the way it "molds", and wear will help with that...
I'm kind of glad to hear you say that, Carrie, because I just got a stock Bootlegger in this very hide on the premise that it seemed relatively close to Vicenza in terms of the grain and being a bit lighter than regular FQHH.
So I finally broke down and bought my first Aero. I wavered for a long time between various options - used, custom - but finally settled on a tumbled FQHH stock jacket from Aero directly. Holly gave me a great deal and the measurements looked spot-on, so I figured what the hell - risk it for a...
I'm thinking about the tumbled Black FQHH for a Bootlegger - anyone have that combo? Thinking about the Vicenza too, but Tumbled does save some money and might it develop a better patina over time?
