    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    Haha, I think it's a problem, although I don't care at all about really expensive purchases (like cars or watches). I now have 9 Aeros and two SBs (with a third on the way), but they are, at least, all different styles apart from the three Café Racers (different colours). Ideally, I'd just...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I'm split between a Half-Belt style and the four flap-pocket style (MC-127985). I'll order a Thedi when I've thinned out the number of jackets and coats I have out here in HK with me I've been interested by SB's jackets for a while - Aero makes what I think is a more solid product overall, but...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I have a Simmons Bilt Car Coat in production in Black Prairie HH at the moment. I am also considering a Thedi in olive vachetta and an Aero LHB. I sold one a very long time ago, and I thought I might replace it :)

    Does anyone make a short jacket (B2 length or touch longer for example) leather outside sheepskin lined inside like an aero Shawl Collar Barnstormer?

    Aero or Simmons Bolt would be your options. I really don't think any leathers other than sheep or goat would work, though. Maybe not even goat. HH or Steer would be too stiff.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Yes, the Klondike is a good pattern - the triangular patches are a minimal extra expense. SB's goat is really nice, and the Blattwerk mahogany I got a SBV2 in is thick and not stiff. The car coat I have coming will be in Prairie Black, which is from the same tannery as Blattwerk.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I have a Car Coat from SB on the way in their Prairie Black. I've been really impressed by the Klondike and SBV2 that I own and am considering a Drifter in Mooreiche.

    Aero linings

    Troy blanket is a really nice lining.

    Jacket you “should” like?

    Same - the Maxwell, Stockman or Work Coat were better styles for me, too.

    How long does it take Aero to produce a jacket? Confirmation process is taking a very long time

    My Aeros have taken 2, sometimes 3 months. That's not too long. I'd rather it take a while and be done correctly. This is similar to a post in Nov 2023. Aeros have always taken about 2-3 months as long as I've been a customer (which is 15 years). Rarely, they're quicker.

    Aero CXL FQHH vs vicenza vs Jerky HH

    CXL FQHH is heaviest (stiffness changes over time), Vicenza is lighter and more pliable immediately (and gets more so) and Jerky is a similar weight to Vicenza, but definitely the softest and most pliable. The finish wears off on Jerky more quickly than any other leather I've seen, leaving a...

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    This is a really nice design. Which leather is it? Mooreiche and the Ranger dark brown have caught my eye; I might go for 1.2mm if pliable and I am trying to avoid the pebbling of goat (although SB does an awesome matte black goathide). I might add button cuffs and the seam across the chest...

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    Yes, I think this would work. 29 inches would be ideal , if it can be done. Blattwerk is really pliable, but thick (my SBV2 is very dense), so I am going to ask Debs about options. I'll avoid goat if possible as I want it to be relatively un-pebbled.

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    Yeah, the Montana would be the easiest conversion and just get it to 28 inches at back with no chest pockets.

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    It is wickedly sharp and prone to arrest.

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    It is, almost, but the collar is a lot slimmer and sharper.

    I am trying to get a jacket custom re-created - does this style of collar have a name?

    I bought an Aero used that wasn't one of their usual patterns and, as it was a bit too tight in the arms, sold it to a good buddy a few years ago. The jacket itself was double-breasted, and had a collar that looked like this - note the gaps between the upper and lower parts of the lapels: I...

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Even for 'Rest of World' prices, that is high. Those are some increases.
