    That's wonderful news, Andrew. Thank you so much!

    Couple of horsehide leather questions...

    How long should I expect my new FQHH Aero NYPD leather jacket to have that new horsehide smell? Is there any way to preserve that smell so it stays that way longer? I'm addicted to that scent, though my 5 year old daughter can't stand the smell. :D I can see now why many of you have...

    My Custom Aero NYPD/Highwayman Hybrid in memory of my Indian Police Chief Grandfather

    Thanks! I agree with you too about how it's better to see actual photos of these jackets from the owners versus the generic manufacturers' ones. :)

    Thanks Griff! Yes, I asked them not to include the holes (grommets) for the badge, however they left one grommet hole on the tip of each collar... no worries though... it's not very noticeable. :)

    My Custom Aero NYPD/Highwayman Hybrid in memory of my Indian Police Chief Grandfather

    Thanks Cooperson!! Hope you've been doing well. Yeah, when I approached Mark Moye about my plans to get this jacket and my desire to have something unique, he told me that in all his years of working with Aero Leather, he's only sold 2 of these NYPD jackets (so I'd have the uniqueness factor...

    My Custom Aero NYPD/Highwayman Hybrid in memory of my Indian Police Chief Grandfather

    What Aero are you getting? Haha... I'm still trying to figure out how "Naveen" blends better with my new jacket versus "Navin". :D Actually the Sanskrit meaning for Navin (or Naveen) means "new", hence my new Aero jacket is translated to Navin Aero jacket. :D

    My Custom Aero NYPD/Highwayman Hybrid in memory of my Indian Police Chief Grandfather

    Thank you!! I'm sure you'll love your Aero!! I noticed how you spelled my name... there are 2 spellings for my name and the spelling for my name is the other way... "Navin". It's all good though... people would probably have an easier time pronouncing my name if it was spelled with 2 "e"'s. :D

    My Custom Aero NYPD/Highwayman Hybrid in memory of my Indian Police Chief Grandfather

    Thanks Edward!! :) You just reminded me of something... I forgot to mention why I went with Aero for a police jacket versus any other police leather jacket brand. Given the era that my grandfather was a cop (i.e. India having been a British colony back then, plus the fact that horsehide...

    Thanks Windward! I must say though that you and the other Aero Leather jacket owners here inspired me... your dedication and passion for this leather jacket brand fueled my passion, and for that I thank you. :)

    My Custom Aero NYPD/Highwayman Hybrid in memory of my Indian Police Chief Grandfather

    You sir have paid me the ultimate compliment... thank you so much! :) Unfortunately I don't believe any other photos exist with him in his uniform, but I'll double-check with my mom. Unfortunately his uniform was in storage at some point after he retired in the 1960s and I was told that...

    Pictures continued... In the next set of pictures where I'm wearing the jacket, I'm also wearing a vintage Karnataka State Police Hat (Karnataka is the state in India where my parents are originally from) that I found on eBay recently along with the shoulder boards. Looks good with my new...
