Hi all,
I was fortunate enough to grab this amazing jacket from a fellow Lounger (pawnieguy) and couldn't be happier!
For the record, he's a Gentleman and was a pleasure to deal with.
Now the jacket......
This is my first Aero & most certainly my first Goat anything. As such, my only expectations were formed from what I have read on these pages & suffice to say, I'm very pleased.
The hide is wonderful. The grain is superb and no doubt will only get better with use and age.
I believe the jacket was originally purchased mid to late 2014 & hardly worn (it certainly presents as such) and as a result, is actually stiffer than I had anticipated.
There is an inconsistency to the seal colouring on different panels (see pic's; I don't know whether this is the norm) but I feel that it seems to add to this jacket's character rather than detract from it.
Crazy buying a jacket like this in the middle of an Aussie summer, but when an opportunity presents itself and all....
Here's some pic's for you;

Some select shots;
I guess I like the contrast stitching thing after all.......
Uneven colour tones....
