    Aero Seven Custom - Recommendations

    Really insightful. I’ll ask Carrie about the current Vicenza batch. I believe I saw that the Unfinished HH is stiffer than the Vicenza but I’ll also check that. I did see that Thedi does custom cafe racers in deer which definitely has the suppleness to move well with the body - I’m going to ask...

    Thanks for the zipper reference. And those pocket bulges aren’t at all substantial - especially given I’ll be using the hand warmers.

    Aero Seven Custom - Recommendations

    @trainspotter Thanks for the insights. I originally picked out the Wayfarer but wanted a more slimed down jacket (in the sleeves) without the half belt design. I wish Aero included a few more patterns without the half belt. I did see sone comment on here at one point about adding shoulder...

    All good suggestions. Thurston said I can get the zipper that ends all the way down to 0.75” from the bottom (I’ll see what the best placement is to reduce flair). And I’m definitely getting the front length and back length extended - I’ve spent my adult life being frustrated that awesome...

    I’d prefer to go with the zipper less hand warmers - good to know about the reinforced edges. I just don’t want bulging. Good insights. Lots of good advice across different hides here so I’m getting half a dozen samples from Carrie. Vicenza, Baladassi seem like the mainstream choices, but the...

    Thanks, this is really helpful. I talked to Carrie today and I get my fit jacket on Friday. And yeah to the E500. Those and the S600’s were such highway rocket sleds. I think the biggest non m / AMG / RS German sleeper was the 760i with that pair of turbos. That’s a bonkers, huge car.

    Being an absolute gear head (especially mid-90’s through mid-00’s), if someone were to explain things to me using 355 and first Gen NSX analogies I would’ve invented cold fusion by now. I’ll call Carrie and ask about goat vs the others. And speaking of cars + leather, I currently have one of...

    Does the russet goat have the same rich coloring as the Badalassi?

    TBD. Carrie was planning on sending Vicenza but I still have time to change.

    @Aloysius @Canuck Panda Carrie steered me toward Vicenza after our second conversation. I also wouldn't be surprised if I do a Majestic in that rust-colored goat suede down the road.

    Given I'm looking for a lightweight jacket (with the understanding no leather is like a linen-cotton jacket), does the Badalassi match the Vicenza for milder temps?

    Great looking jacket - you smashed the fit. And good to see your shirt comment - that's what I'm looking for. I am getting samples of Vicenza, Unfinished, Kelpie, and Jerky, but will ask Carrie to also send Badalassi.

    Great stuff on measurements for lengthening, and noted on the break-in time. And I do like using handwarmer pockets, but was thinking they wouldn't lay as flat over time if I didn't include zippers. Thoughts here?

    Thanks a bunch for the fit recs, @MrProper. I wear a 40 long in an Italian cut suit (mostly Canali) and will try a 42 in my fit jacket from Thurston. I will also make sure to work off my back measurement and increase the front drop. In terms of leather for a SoCal jacket, Carrie just...

    Aero Seven Custom - Recommendations

    Hi All, Very excited to post here for the first time after putting down a deposit for custom Aero Seven with Thurston. I’ve always wanted to go the custom route given my appreciation for craftsmanship and that I’ve had a hell of a time finding a jacket that fits (6’4 190bs with a long torso). I...
