I've handled a few Aero jackets so far and they were mostly made from FQHH, very heavy. It seems that most jackets that Aero manufactures are actually made from FQHH. I'm not sure if FQHH always means a rather heavy leather.
For A-2s I got the impression from pics from the 40s that the leathers are thinner. While one can probably wear a sweater beneath an A-2 and thus wear it in autumn and even winter, it seems that most prefer just a t-shirt or a shirt beneath and wear it in moderate temperature.
So, my question is, is Aero using thinner leathers for their A-2s or the same FQHH.
How would the Aero leathers (let's say Horsehide) for the A-2s compare to Eastman, Buzz Rickson and The RealMcCoys?
