A brand new design from Aero Leather

Did you notice the black version? I thought this was a bit Elvis '68 Comeback Special: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=2124

I think this is the same one?

Yes, but the black soft steer hide is a new one they are considering.

Here is Elvis in his "comeback" jacket.


If you could persuade Aero to build you that HUGE collar, and reconfigure the shoulder construction to get rid of the typical Lee 101J shoulder droop, then you would indeed have one of these.

The chances of Aero doing that are, I would say, zero.......

BTW, I asked MM about the snaps vs buttons.

He told me that he and Ken did look at buttons (which Aero can do), but because of the way the buttonholes looked next to the Lee decorative stitching, they decided to stick with the Levi idea, and go with snaps, which they felt looked better.

You forget exactly how big that collar was. A strong wind and he's wearing a hang glider!

Ha.... yeah, Elvis liked his collars big by 68. Some say he's not dead at all, he just lost his hair.....
