Thanks... I've actually had the jacket for a bit over a year now (just happened to have some pictures that seemed to apply to Ross' question). It is my go-to jacket when I can't make up my mind. The hide seems to suit this style well... I also have a FQHH HWM. As much as I have enjoyed...
FWIW, here is a rear shot of my mid-weight HH Aero cafe racer with the bi-swing (unzipped):
There are some additional pictures here (didn't want to hijack the thread):

Hope things work out for you Cyber Lip... I liked the jacket enough from your original post that I placed on order for one on Thursday. Guess I will need to be more patient next time...
Thanks again for all of the comments!
Well that implies that the weather is somehow tied to months... Not sure that has been the case this year ;) I definitely would not consider it a winter jacket. I wore it around comfortably yesterday (temp in the high 60s with a bit of wind for those...
I used to, but now Dallas has the autobahn speeds without the autobahn skills. I've switched from 2 wheels to 4 for speed. Still love the J-100 for its minimalist style though.

Long time lurker, infrequent poster... I thought that it would be fitting for this to be the first jacket that I posted to this forum. I joined a few years ago to get more information on the Insurrection / Aero J-100 replica. Unfortunately, that project didn't take off so for the past few...
I felt the same way for years about perfectoesque jackets, but I changed my mind after seeing a "local guitarist" wearing one a recent episode of Top Gear:

I liked the simplicity of his jacket and the Bootlegger / Detroit seemed to be a fairly...
It is the 1920's half belt... the back detail sold me on it even though I do normally subscribe to the less is more philosophy. And given that this forum has helped me rationalize my coat addiction I would be happy to provide pictures.
Hat tip to Insurrection / Thurston. I just placed my first order through them (previously had gone through Aero directly). Enjoyed working with Wade as much as I have enjoyed working with Holly. Looking forward to my Two-Tone jacket... although since I went with antique black on antique black...
I own both a Magnoli jacket and an Aero Highwayman. Magnoli's quality is good. The materials and workmanship are what you would expect for the price range.
However, with all due respect Magnoli, there is no comparing it with the Aero jacket. I own several other Belstaff and Barbour...
