    AERO Café Racer in black vintage frontquarter horsehide with pics.

    Sorry if I go against the wave but I liked way more the old one. It is a very personal opinion but I think the original Aero Cafè Racer is a sort of Icona of the MC jacket, also without beeing a real riding jacket. I mean it is not a tecnical item if seen under the sight of a rider (too slim...

    What leather conditioner do you use?

    Many thanks for Your's welcome Peacot. I would like to add that in my experience steer hide (such as my Highwayman Aero and Dainese and the real old Cafè racer) reacts better to Collonil. For horses (new Aeroleather Cafè racer or my dark brown jacket) mink oil is way batter. I don't know the...
