HPA gave us politely a sound business explanation: it is the pattern and the sales figures prove that it is an attractive product.
Personally, i think that it is a nice model and the position of the pockets gives the style to this jacket.
The OP has a great jacket that fits him very well.
Wise comment, in my opinion. Also, Schott product range goes from medium to high quality, with a focus on utility, while Aero and other makers are purely high quality with some customization and a focus on looking nice. They are not for the same use.
Thank you for all the advice. I was thinking goat (i am afraid that capeskin would be fragile). I did not think initially on the importance of the lining, but that is a good suggestion.
I moved recently to a desert climate. I did not bring my aero horsehide nor my vanson, but i miss leather jacket. So, which leather jacket would you suggest for desert climate?

Thank you for your comments. Reading the threads on the Fedora Lounge taught me a lot.
I am already planning a second jacket, more for spring-summer weather.
Trapp, i am 5ft10 and the back of the jacket is 27". I would need to measure the front, as i did not specify when i ordered the jacket.
Dear Loungers,
I got a lot of information from reading all the threads here, and I wanted to contribute in return by showing my first Aero, in a model and leather that I've seen rarely on the Lounge: the plainsman model, in battered horsehide.
I exchanged with Holly from Aero, who was very...
