[Aero] Corduroy strip along the hem

[mexl916]

Dear friends,

Holly from Aero mentioned in another thread that they are not longer willing to place a leather strip along the hem. Instead of the leather strip, they will offer a corduroy strip in order to protect the lining.

Have anybody received a jacket including this corduroy strip? Some pictures would be very helpful...

Regards,
Mexl

Here's a pic of my Highwayman with it.
I specifically wanted the Courderoy because it's more comfy and less bulky than the leather.
It lets the jacket conform more naturally to your body.
Plus, it has a beautiful sheen to it.
So far, it's wearing very well with only the slightest abrasion showing where the belts bunch it up.

Why didn't you just get all cord lining

Thanks for your picture OneEyeMan! Would you tell me the width of your corduroy strip?

 

[Fanch]

I would imagine that a 2" strip would be adequate, primarily to protect the lining at the buckles.

The one on my half belt deluxe is two inches wide and seems to be adequate...time will tell, I guess.

Courderoy is kinda grabby.
Sliding the jacket on over shirts would've been very difficult.
Plus, I love my lining.

A hair under 5"

@53Effie
Would you show me some pictures of your jacket too?

 

[53Effie]

Yes, I think I have an interior picture of the jacket. I will try to post it for you this evening. My jacket has the black watch tartan lining with a black corduroy strip. When I ordered it Aero would still to a leather strip at the bottom, but there was $50.00 charge and they actually recommended the corduroy; so I opted to do that.

Here is a picture of the corduroy strip in my Half Belt Deluxe as mentioned above

This is great info and indeed looks good. I think I will need to have a cord strip put on my 1930's half belt. After a couple of weeks wearing the jacket I noticed the tartan lining at the hem is getting indigo rubbed off from my jeans. And because I wear raw denim which is rougher I'm worried the lining will get more wear and tear.

Having some kind of strip is useful. My 1930's half belt has cotton drill lining that has dropped and pokes out half an inch under the hem.

Johnson Leathers uses a 4" strip of leather at the hem. Works well.
