Tried it on in the factory, but annoyingly it just didn't suit me. I think the Type III is quite a tubular design, which have been something to do with it (Resident denim expert MM may be able to confirm this). Lovely hide though.

Here is a version that I've always loved, worn by John Lennon on the 'Rubber Soul' LP back in '66: http://www.beatlesuits.com/Beatlesuits_RubberSoulJacket.htm ≈

I think the chocolate steerhide looks fantastic and i do wonder if it would suit me or not.
Only one way to find out i guess....

I prefer the Aero version as it has the button closures (like the denim jackets). I don't care for the snaps - or press studs, or whatever they are called.

The Levi split cowhide I had back in the 60's actually had snaps, rather than buttons.

Aero will actually do either

Agree!

Same here. Gorgeous color.

I wonder if anyone on here's bought one yet.
I've seen plenty of pictures but nobody actually wearing one.

If it's based on a mid-late Sixties design, it's probably too 'late' to get much traction in these parts. (Was going to suggest looking on VLJ, but I gather it's fashionable to dislike Aero in there?)

The Type III design was introduced in 1961 - which makes it, currently, 52 years old. Surely that is "old" enough?

I wish Aero would make one of these - obviously inspired by Levi's cowhide jacket:

Would look good in battered brown HH, no?

Nice. I could go for it either way.

Stylistically, for most of us round here the fashion world ended in 1959.

I think I'd prefer a Shackleton with a 'v' neck, but I can see this having an appeal.

That only works, Edward, for folks who are too young to remember buying clothes in the 60's. At least 50% of the stuff revered on here was actually revived (for the first time) during that decade. Where do you think the fashion (in the UK) for US label jeans came from?

The vest has cowhide at the back too......

Me wantee!!

No, we travel...

Not likely to find that on VLJF though - haven't seen anything similar.
