    Fit Check - Aero Premier Highwayman

    Fit jacket looks good to me. As always, I have the feeling the highwayman jackets from aero are too short in the front. I would therefore add a little front drop.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    BK Surrogate again Every time I look at the jacket in direct sunlight I am amazed at the change the jacket has made through my selfmade dying process. From a boring appearance to one with much more 3D effect and liveliness.

    Thank you Sirs! I am indeed more than satisfied with the result. It was not easy to find the right balance between the less and more colored areas without the jacket looking too artificially aged. I am also very happy with the dyeing product.

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

    Only as already noted, the chest pocket is a little too high, based on the posted photo. I know the 5* leather jackets get little love in this forum. I am more than satisfied with mine. Your leather jackets also offer a very good price / performance ratio.
