    Agreed xmas. When I think of deep dark red I think of blacks to go with, but green? I dunno cordovan is tough, but for me, I'd get a biker jacket in it with black stitching and brass hardware. Maybe a King of the Road with Black and Cordovan (rather than brown trim) but green thread?

    not green man, you'll look like the Italian flag, we are talking a red based colour here, what about navy blue?

    I reckon the best contrast stitching is black for cordovan. Visible but subtle and close to the family of colour. But if you want to go full retard, and you probably do, then white.

    Thanks friends, really nice comments, so glad you like it, I will try to get fit pics up asap, bloody awful hot weather here right now. ~ To think I travelled 12,000 miles to run away from the bleeding sunshine and it haunts me still.

    Aero Hercules - sheepskin lined

    I think you are right ^ I haven't peeked into the sleeves yet, it was only 35 degs when I tried it on, and I couldn't tell, but it is not sheepskin, but very silky and smooth, thank you Aero :).

    Sure, yes, the new alpaca is thicker and softer than their past iterations, however once it beds-down I don't know what the difference will be, but I do know its thicker in pile and very soft to touch, more blanket in feel, not at all scratchy. If you need something softer but with more warmth...

    Aero Hercules - sheepskin lined

    Re-lined, although the jacket was in great condition, so like new. Funniest thing was zipping it up, my son had to step in and give me a hand. I am hoping the shearling pads down. I'll probably need hook fasteners to lock it shut, but it is one of those jackets where I thought, "Bring me the...

    Hi guys, thanks for the postive feedback, firstly I just want to clear up that one has to pay for modification, and one has to ask very nicely too, as you are doing something to your taste it is not always easy to achieve. But I must say Denny and his team were very patient, quick to understand...

    Aero Hercules - sheepskin lined

    Obviously its 30 degs right now so forgive me for not modelling it for you. But I shall. I also must say that Aero did a bang up job, thanks to Denny and his team, they relined the sleeves to with their new lining fabric and it's very slick, tough and smooth.

    Aero Hercules - sheepskin lined

    Well I did it. A full Herc in thickest 3/4 inch sheepskin. First thing I did was slip this beast on in 33 deg heat - but that wool - is outrageously sexy.

    Brown or Cordovan for my Aero Highwayman?

    Fanch that's great, we can compare cuts, you might like to consider, while you have time, button up version, the yoke and stitching options. Did you spec anything specific?
