You hit the nail. I don't think their typical customer base goes after it like folks around here. Let's be honest, we are the extremists. The general pop can't be bothered and would be scared of having to go all in, with very specific design and numeric figures with regard to a jacket. Just my opinion but I don't think those customers hit the zealotry we see as normal around here. And that's where those folks at Epaulette can make a living. I'm not mad at them. Good for them. That said, I'm not the customer they're looking for.

Carrie has confirmed that Thurston Bros can also source Aero jackets in the light weight horse.
It's a smooth thin vegetable tanned horse, I'll be getting samples at some stage and can give my impression then if anyone is interested.

I know that Aero offers a soft italian horsehide, the jacket I got for my girlfriend is made of such a leather. Could this be the same?

That's cool to know, thanks for asking! I look forward to hear you thoughts about it, and specifics such as thickness, weight, stiffness, type of dye, colors available etc. Thanks!

A collaboration with Epaulet. Video shows, beautifully, some of Aero's leathers, including a couple I've never seen or heard of before. Perhaps they're exclusive to Epaulet. They show heavyweight chromexcel, midweight oil pull, full grain roughout in walnut, and a "lightweight" horsehide that drapes easily, has a soft hand, and comes in brown, oxblood, and black.

What awesome looking jackets. Who wouldn't want one of each.
