Aero Fontana CR sz. 42" w/mods

[ton312]

Something else has come along, as it always does (spoiler alert not leather!), so I've decided to keep but one single Aero. And it's not this one. This is a really wonderful jacket. 3oz CXL steer, lined in OD drill w Talon #5's on all 5 zips. I received this jacket in late March 2018 and wore it about ten times. The new owner will have some work to do. It's not overly heavy but it is a bit stiffer than most the steer I've handled. When I spec'd this jacket I had envisioned something like the old Bates CR's and Julie really brought that vision to life. Two cat eye chest zips, no interior pocket. It's lean and mean.

A real bargain, somebody will be happy to enjoy this gorgeous jacket.
Wish it would be a size smaller, very like it. Superb in its every tiny detail.

$750 would be a fair price

Is sleeve measured straight or around?

Wow, really nice jacket. Seriously. If I didn't already have my Aero J-100, I would bite.

GLWS!

I should add for fit I'm 5'11 and around 215 lbs. maybe a little lighter now after not lifting for a week and becoming weak.

Ton, you'd save a lot of money if you just opened up a store and became Aero's Midwest distributor.

I think I'm done with the full custom thing. Keeping the HB and some vintage so and so's and everything won't be leather!

I've heard that before. Oh. Wait. I said that. And then bought another 5 jackets. Time will tell whether you have more discipline than me.

Good lord, the jacket fits you perfect.

Great deal for someone here. If I needed another black cafe racer I couldn't do much better than this.

PM sent, I'll take it

You could also save money by just flying to Galashiels and trying on everything they have in stock, take pictures, walking out empty handed, and flying back home.

 

[ton312]

Sold!

So Ton, are you saying unequivocally that the honeymoon is over? You won’t be getting jackets 3 or 4-5 times a week, only once or twice a month now, if you’re a good boy??

Something like that. No more customs that's for sure. I've got something from Full count Japan inbound. After that I think I'm good!

Is there any reason you don't want to do custom no more? Or you just wanna try another maker?

Oh yeah, you’re done.
