Aero cafe racer pics?

[mendelboaz]

This one is also sold - but I owned it ~ 5.5 years. Bought new from Thurston's in Seattle when they had thier brick & mortor store, it's heavy Horween steerhide. Wore it like Mr. Proper - a lot the first two years, then less and less - now I miss it.

This one had "teacore" in it's blood... View attachment 325621 View attachment 325622 View attachment 325623 View attachment 325624 View attachment 325625 View attachment 325626

That is a very nice, subtle and even teacore. I hope whoever is wearing it now is enjoying the hell out of it.

Sadly I can’t any offer well worn examples but I can offer a few different configs for the traditional CR.

Very cool to see so many different configurations, thanks for sharing. Even not heavily worn examples are more than welcome

Also, thanks for the warm welcome back everybody!

Glad to see you back too sir! Yes I 100% agree, it still had a bit to go before 100% broken in.

Awesome to see that Two-tone D-pocket again too, thanks for sharing it in it's current, beautiful state.

I ordered this one through Thurston bros, which they called the "Fontana" which I modified it a bit.

Oversized black moved.

This was about 2 years in before I sold it and got something lighter than CXL (went with the RMC J100)

I think aero CR would look a lot better with lower chest pockets and closer to the main center zip rather that the armpit and more slope on the shoulder
