Thanks for adding this jacket to the Lounge Butte. It's a beauty. The curved piping is why I order my Aero Hercules. This feature is also part of a leather peacoat that I had made for me back in the early '70s. The style really hits me.
Looking forward to seeing your jacket Butte.
tropicalbob, I have a Herc with a LHB bi-swing back. It's worked out great for me; very comfortable and easy to layer. Here's a link to my original post.

Beautiful jacket and great fit. I have a Hercules and use it in the winter (heavy strome tartan). I think you'll be happy it's around when the cold weather comes.
I agree with all said so far. The simplifications along with the color and stitching make for a very subtle, distinctive jacket. I hope your jacket is on the easy end for break in. My 10 year old kangaroo wallet is like Seb's jacket.
I really like the jacket and the fit. Body length looks fine. Like others, I think the sleeves look a little long. This wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
Great looking jacket. The leather looks soft and flexible. I especially like the Harris Tweed pattern and wish I could have chosen it for my Aero. I was told that Aero just uses what they have in stock and you can't chose a specific tweed pattern.
+1. Close to the Aero Hercules. I also have a longer, but similarly styled leather peacoat that was made for me back in the early 70s. The peacoat doesn't have the cargo pockets.
Beautiful selection of jackets. Another vote for the Johnson. More and more, they're looking like my next order. Good to hear that they can get the FQHH if you're willing to wait.
This is a great way for recent additions to catch up on the full story. I've read snippets from different posting through the months, but this thread is giving me a more complete picture. Thanks for the facts Sloan.
Great looking and fitting jacket. Beautiful leather and lining. Very complete and specific review. I'm thinking more and more about Johnson for my next jacket.
