A jackethead's progress: My Aero goat A-2

[Fletch]

Fish: The goat is medium-thin (thinner between thumb and finger than my Cooper goats). The sleeves accordion nicely and the jacket doesn't feel at all heavy on the body.

'H': VLJ is a web forum dedicated to classic leather outerwear, mostly the flying and cycling types. At one point we were discouraged from linking to it on FL, so PM me and I'll send the address.

I'm a convert to the FL....It's not for everyone, but it might be for you. Lots of great guys over there, but it's not moderated quite the same as it is here. Not saying either one is better than the other. I'm just saying different strokes. I favor the job done by the moderators here as apposed to over there. Good luck!

I noticed the cut and design seem a bit different too- look at the pocket flaps and collar-I really like the cow (now that I know what it is- the weight of the jacket makes sense now) but I think the goat would be more wearable.

If you look at the front view of my jacket where the collar is sticking up you can see how thick the leather is. I'll post the review I did on the VLJ- it has several close up details.

What color is the stiching on the Seal version?

The thread is light OD. Kinda striking against the seal actually.

You can also see how the seal dye reveals to russet at the collar edge. And a better look at the tasty grain.

VERY nice- I think I'm going to have to keep my eye out for one.
