    Aero Vicenza jacket was hung by collar and has stretched

    I left my jacket laying in a corner at a party and some "helpful" person hung it up by the collar. I don't think it was hanging up for more than an hour but it stretched the leather right below the collar so it looks like I have a little hump on my back when I wear it now. Is there any way I can...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    This is the lining crease I originally thought was a seam but is actually the result of the folding that put the line in the back leather of my jacket. I figured I'd post it so people could better understand the extent of the crease. The lining is cotton drill, it's actually black but the...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    Thanks. My only real issue is that I think it looks kind of silly to have this very noticeable line running up my back. I'm totally fine putting up with it for awhile if it's something that will go away naturally with wear. I'm definitely going to try the least invasive approach of rubbing it...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    I guess I come at things like this from a different perspective. I don't see any point in bothering a retailer about something unless I know it's a legitimate issue. I am concerned that this crease in my jacket has not gone away at all as the jacket has broken in over the past several months...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    I'm not sure how well this picture will look after being downsized to upload here but it should give you an idea of the line I'm talking about. If it's not good enough I'll see if I can take a better shot or get a higher res version to upload. Something else about the crease I didn't mention...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    US. It's definitely possible customs got to it, they seem to open a lot of my international packages. I think it passed through Thurston before arriving at my place though, not sure whether they repackage jackets though or just ship the original box onwards.

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    I asked here because I wanted information/advice from people with knowledge and experience. I haven't asked Aero or Thurston yet because it isn't clear to me that this is actually a problem and I don't want to be a bother over something potentially minor that I can solve myself. I'm aware they...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    Thanks Carrie, I may be misremembering how it arrived but I really thought it came folded in half down the center (along the spine). Regardless, the leather is creased down the middle of the back and has been since I received it so at some point during it's life before I received it the jacket...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    I have a specific area of the floor I keep it in that's clean and out of the way. I may hang it eventually but figured the first year or so of breaking it in I would treat it rough and never hang it.

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    Interesting how? People keep making this comment and I'm confused by it, it's literally been several hours since my last post in this thread. I've been busy at work so replying any sooner has not been possible. Am I supposed to be posting more frequently? If I've done something to provoke...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    I have not been careful about water and it has no permanent spotting. It will spot up as it gets rained on, but it's always been fine after drying naturally.

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    I've had the jacket for around 5 or 6 months now, I've never hung it up. It's only been hung up once by my wife for about 10 minutes before I noticed and told her to never do that again. I always throw it on the floor, I'm just careful about how it lays down so that the two main back creases...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback. Sorry I've not been able to reply until now, I don't visit this forum very regularly. I'll try to get some pictures posted but last time I tried the forum software wouldn't allow me, it kept complaining my pictures were too big, even though they were...

    Dark line down the back of my Aero jacket

    Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has experience removing the crease line from a Vicenza jacket. I have a dark seal Vicenza jacket that has an almost black line down the middle of the back from being folded during shipping. I didn't think anything of it when I got it because I expected wearing...

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    I'm still debating whether to bother Aero about it. The more I think about it, the less I like that idea. My thoughts are that even the thinnest parts of the leather are still significantly thicker than any other leather jacket I've owned, the thin parts aren't thin to the point where it feels...

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    Thanks for all the input! Yes, the smoother sections are noticeably thinner. If I feel the top more grainy part of the back compared to the smoother lower back part it is very obviously much thinner even though it is all one piece of leather. The thicker parts are less soft and don't flex as...

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    Sorry for the delay in responding, been busy. It was surprisingly difficult to get a good shot but attached to this message should be pictures of the left and right sleeves that shows how much smoother the thin leather of the right sleeve is. Or not... is there some trick to adding pictures? I...

    Vicenza leather in new Aero is inconsistent

    Hey guys, I'm a bit concerned about a potential issue with my new jacket and wanted to run it by the experts here. The main problem is that the lower right arm, lower back, and some of the lower front of my new jacket are very noticeably thinner and have a much different texture than the rest of...

    Help me decide on a leather for new Aero?

    What about it do you prefer? From what I've read it softens up quicker, and tends to be more grainy once it breaks in. From the samples I've seen it had basically no grain, even after lots of bending and folding. The cordovan steer sample was the darkest of all the cordovans (vincenza was...

    Help me decide on a leather for new Aero?

    Thanks for sharing! That leather looks really nice. I think if it was just a bit darker it would be about what I'm looking for.
