A little teaser from Aero

[majormajor]

I wish I could show you all the whole thing, but I promised to wait a little while yet.

But here's just a snippet of my new Aero. A pre-production model from the new range being shown this week.

Made of a lovely mid-weight horse hide, which is already bedding in nicely, seeing as I have rarely had it off my back since getting it!

Can you guess what the rest of it looks like?

ba***rd!!!!

Looks like a Levis Menlo type from this pic, with those little small A2 esque pockets

 

[schitzo]

yes Jeff M that's exactly what I meant

Love it, looks fantastic. Will definitely be throwing on that one come Wednesday. Or 35 hours 12 minutes and counting, as I like to think of it...

I was going to allude to a jacket named after a long-legged freshwater and coastal bird (heron) but guess the cat's now out of the bag. This Aero A-1 model would make a fantastic jacket in MWHH. Major, what is the lining?

Mine has a green tartan lining, with cotton drill in the sleeves. I did see another one with tweed lining, which looked very very nice

Mine, mine, minnnnnneeeee!!!!

Major, as you can tell, I am very intrigued with this model which should be an ideal light weight jacket for sun belt climes, to include Texas. Does this jacket fit at or just below the belt?

Hi Fanch

Sent you a PM

V tempting indeed. Now I don't know whether I should drop my Goodwear A-1 order, with its still-to-be-announced delivery date.

The current quotation re delivery from Aero reads thus:

"our current waiting time is around 4 to 6 months at the moment, however we are trying very hard to reduce this time".

I know that Ken is very happy with the high quality work his newer graduate staff are producing - he showed me some excellent examples when I was up there. So I reckon the new jackets will be in customers hands sooner, rather than later.

That looks really nice. Be some time before I can afford one, but oh, my.

 

[jlanderson]

Really, REALLY jealous!!

That large picture in this thread is NOT the new Aero. AFAIK, it is a vintage jacket (which, for some reason, was posted in a thread about waistcoats!).

Here's another snippet of the new Aero....

New look buckles? How are they holding?

New look buckles? How are they holding?

Perfectly solid. I doubled them back, as they were a little long.

Med weight HH I presume?

Med weight HH I presume?

That's right, Breton. Very similar (although perhaps a tad thicker) to the stuff that Eastman push as "Warhorse".

 

[bretron]

Major,

Thx. So so nice. I can't wait for full blown shots of this don't skimp out
