    Aero - Pinnacle HH in Cognac, Badalassi in Russet or Light CXL?

    I went pinnacle horsehide and love it. Note that currently Pinnacle is offered in Congnac, Black and Brown only. My fit jacket was Badalassi and it was heavy duty and smelled and looked absolutely heavenly. Flip a coin and you'll be set.

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    That's because all CXL, except natural, has only a surface level dye to the leather, it's not dyed through. A bootmaker described CXL as "almost painted leather" as the dye doesn't penetrate very deep. It's also a pretty soft leather so it scuffs easily but those scuffs are easy to buff out...

    This is the one Schott jacket that I HAVE to have. Since I live in North Texas I'd also only get to wear it... One or two times a year at best

    Aero Half Belt deluxe fit check

    Here it is, under florescent light. Over the moon with this jacket. Fits well, looks and smells outstanding. Only reason it doesn't fit perfectly Is because I accidentally got fatter Well dieting will fix that. The pinnacle brown horsehide is great, very well cut, almost no blemished anywhere...

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    All, sorry for the late response, was busy enjoying my jacket. Here we go, brown Pinnacle horsehide Deluxe Half Belt in a corporate bathroom under fluorescent light I'm extremely happy with it. It's lighter and more flexible than FQHH or Vicenza while still having some weight. The brown color...

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    Interesting that they'll be seemingly trying to thicken up Pinnacle for batch #2 including Brown. I'm not complaining at all even then, the first batch was said to be shooting for 1.1-1.3mm in thickness so ~1.2 overall.

    Aero Half Belt deluxe fit check

    All, forgot to send my final configuration, .25 inches longer. An extra ~6mm in length isn't going to hurt anything. It should arrive next month.

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    Hooo wee that looks great. My jacket should hopefully arrive in November, in pinnacle brown. Ohh, forgot to say, spoke to the product manager at Horween and he gave me lots of info about the leather. From my notes it's "Mill dyed, less waxy than cxl, 1-1.2mm thick, less overall tonality so a...

    Aero Half Belt deluxe fit check

    Good points and great pics. I think I'll stick with the Half Belt Deluxe with a bit of length (1 inch) added and slightly shorter sleeves. I will eventually get a Long half belt (in russet goatskin probably) and a Happy Days or flight jacket in Seal Goatskin. The different styles with three...

    Aero Half Belt deluxe fit check

    No idea on the front length of my fit jacket although I did ask Thurston about that and how much longer the front will be after my asks, awaiting a response. My stock fit deluxe half belt has a back length of 27.25 inches, so it'll go up to 28.25 inches. After talking to a few people and two...
