LW HH= Thick and hard
Aero HH= Thick and soft
I think Aero is made for a much faster breakin and faster patina while LW is tanned like leather was seventy five years ago when people bought one leather jacket and wore it for thirty years. There's no question that LW HH is more durable as I own both and LW will show no signs of wear for years while Aero (cordovan in my case) shows everything. The furrowing and patina thats developed on my Aero is incredible after three years while it will take my LW probably ten years to look like that. The Aero shows every scratch while the LW shows nothing. If you want to buy one jacket and plan to wear it all the time get the LW while if you want a much faster breakin and patina get the Aero. They are both different but equally good.
