Wow, that's super fast delivery time! You should post this in the 'Delays at Aero Leather' thread :)
Try and post some pics if you can, I for one will never get bored of drooling over new Aeros. Many congrats and enjoy.
Hi Bob, I can only go by my own experience and my jacket has loosened up a lot since I first got it. The biggest difference is the front panels which were like breast plates from a suit of amour, but are now soft and developing folds which has loosened the whole fit. From what you have...
Tommer - Thanks for the great pics and many congrats on a superb looking jacket, I love colour of the hide and the choice of the lining. I wouldn't worry too much about the restricted feel of the arms, when the leather breaks and relaxes this will go. You waited patiently for a long time for...
Great looking Highwayman Lenny - reminds me of another I've seen recently :)
Although soft, I suspect the lining will last longer than you might think. Enjoy!
I can understand how some might be upset by a mark like this in a new coat, but this is after all very heavy hide crafted using some serious sewing machines. Myself, I would tend view it as a litte 'battle scar' as I'm sure many more will appear during it's long life. As others have said, it...
Hi Lenny - Congrats on getting your jacket. The Common Riding is a great lining for a brown Highwayman, I love mine. The difference in shades of the hide panels can be a bit off putting when you first see it, but don't worry, it will all mellow out with wear. I had the back of one sleeve that...
Hi Lear - Looks fine to me. Yes you probably could get away with the size down, but isn't this coat supposed to be worn over a jacket? I'm sure you will appreciate the extra room in the winter when you can wear stuff under it - enjoy!
Cheers
Hi Fenton, I am having the same thoughts as you regarding a lighter weight jacket for the summer. I love my new Highwayman, but I will have to wait now until the weather turns cooler before I can wear it again. I would suggest you contact Amanda for some samples. She sent me some very nice...
Ahh the smell and feel of a new Aero - nothing quite like it. Don't be too concerned by the initial stiffness, mine is only a few weeks old and is nice and soft already. Many congratulations and wear it in good health. Would love to see some pics when you get chance.
Cheers
Have you asked for any hide samples yet? When mine arrived, I couldn't believe the how thick and stiff the heavy steerhide was - way too much for me! Some people have sold heavy steerhide jackets because they found them unwearable. I would definitely get some samples before deciding...
Hi Jan
That's a great looking coat, I like the design a lot. It's hard to imagine goat being heavier than HFQH, it must be one serious hide! Love the pebbly grain also. Congratulations, enjoy and wear it in good health.
Cheers.
