A couple of fit pics as requested. I'm 6 ft 175 in the photos and typically wear a 42.

Hey, that's a really nice jacket and just my size! About $100 out of reach for me though.

I wonder if this is actually horse?
It looks a lot like steer to me and i don't think Aero ever sold 4.5oz HH, i wonder if this jacket could be a survivor from the "Storse" debacle before Ken came back.
If it is indeed HH it is one of the nices i have seen!

Does it have a production tag with a date in the pockets?
Howdy. I was just about to say the same thing. It looks slot like my steerhide car coat by aero. Same grain and everything.

^^ So I once owned this jacket. Actually, make that twice. I would say it's steerhide. It was so heavy it was actually uncomfortble to wear. The sleeves were about 2" too short for me. Tried to make it work, but it just was nover quite "right" for me. There are some threads on this jacket here.

I actually purchased this jacket off ebay as only a "Brown Aero leather jacket" and then photos. The original (ebay) seller never disclosed any details on how it was purchased or ordered. It was every bit of 10 lbs. However the leather itself was rather "flat" of character and did not really ever "warm up" the the wearer. It was a nice jacket, but I was not too dissapointed to let it go (twice).
