Thanks everyone. I will keep wearing both to have a long term idea of the differences. I lost about 25lbs and the 44 LW may have to anyway but if so I will replace it with a 42. Its an amazing jacket too. This one just feels better so far.
Tha collar is off The Dirt Rider they made a few...
Well I am shocked but I love to be proved wrong. Figured its worth posting for someone to have a point of reference. So after comparing the two it turns out the jacket I grab every time is the Aero. Technically there are some tiny flaws on the collar and yes I can hold up both and show how much...
Now to be fair though. I think even though its thinner the leather is amazing and its a good thickness. The fit is perfect and its a great riding jacket. Just bummed at the shoddy work on the collar where its all frayed and cut and disappointed they did not think to add the snap down. With those...
And I dont know what to say about this. Collar with no snap to button it back. Every other maker from LW to Schott has that feature. Look at the under edge too. Last photo is a LW collar with snap and collar held back as should be.
I am in Virginia so its a bit far for a pop in. I think Scott will get it right. I went with the Cascade but in a straight zip. Their Crescent is a bit longer looking than I want. The Cascade with a straight zip should look like a clean cafe racer.
Well I have my Aero and my brother in law has one so I have now seen two and I have owned two LWs. You seem to be the exception. You must have gotten special treatment. LW on the left. Cuff shot and then a collar shot. The workmanship is better as well.
Mr. No-Toes,
ok, before my envelope lands on their table then whats your hands on top pick. I can have only one and I want a soft and wonderful leather coat. Would you go Goat or medium cowhide. I assume not heavy since I have a LW Horsehide for weight.
Interesting, well I started the thread but in the end I am bailing on the Jacket. A full link of photos and not one pic that excited me. Its a style issue. I wanted one for fit and Goat skin but they just do nothing for me. My Aero and LW will have to make do for a while.
Thanks for the pic!
I think they look great. For me its not that one is good or bad...just different. I see these shots and I think what an amazing jacket and fit. Zipper and side flap still not for me. Still an awesome jacket. I totally get why for some folks its perfect.
