Aero Mulligan

[zebedee]

Does anyone have pics pf this that aren't the Aero ones? In particular with the chest pocket...

I will take some more up to date pictures shortly-This is in cxfqhh horsehide.The pocket flaps can be tucked in to the pocket.

Thanks for this- I like the chest flap and am beginning to consider (read: spending inordinate periods of time) one of these in battered tan if I can shift some others (apocalypse notwithstanding). It looks like a similar cut to the Maxwell.

Some more pictures though a tad blurred

A really great practical jacket-Gets a lot of wear,weather permitting.

I have a seal jerky HH Mulligan and a black goatskin Maxwell. The basic patterns for both are the same. I ordered both jackets without chest pockets and am glad I did. I wish I had ordered a vertical inside pocket without closure on both jackets.

I'm also interested in photos. I'm keen on the idea of one of these myself; I like the idea of the zipless top pocket for tucking gloves and such into.

Do you have any photos of the seal jerky Mulligan? Looking at getting a seal jerky mulligan or maxwell so super keen to see one in the wild.

Pictures of my seal jerky HH Aero Mulligan. I had earlier pictures that were lost when I had data transferred from my older Windows 7 desktop to my new Windows 10.

Thanks for posting that. The jerky looks grainy but colourwise pretty consistent. Also the drape looks like a mid-weight leather.

At the time I bought my Mulligan, Vicenza leather was not available. Subsequently I bought two Sheenes with Vicenza (russet and black) that has a far superior look, hand and drape to jerky HH. I strongly prefer Vicenza over just about any other Aero leather that is well worth the up charge and then some. If I had it to do over again I would order my Mulligan with seal Vicanza HH. I would still leave off the chest flap pocket but would add one vertical inside pocket without closure in the leather facing on the left side (I am right handed) if I had it to do again.

Yes! re: vertical inside pocket without closure. After my J-106, it feels like a battered tan Mulligan would be the perfect "suit jacket" leather for all those non J-106 days. Also, as much as I love the cxl dfhh, a slightly lighter jacket is appealing--not from a break-in perspective, just literally from a weight perspective.

Does anyone have some fit-pics of the mulligan? I got a custom J-106 in natural cxl last year, but I'm considering getting one formal jacket for when the J-106 just isn't exactly right--thinking about the Mulligan in battered tan, olive stitching, olive drill lining, split cuffs so i can slide up my sleeves when working, and two inside breast pockets like a suit jacket.

 

[Feliksas]

Still interested in fit pics of the Mulligan!

Also, it seems that it's been removed from the standard lineup of jackets? If I get a windfall, this still seems like the jacket one could wear more formally, as opposed to my J-106 and Type III...

@Feliksas
Someone mentioned that the patterns for both Mulligan and Maxwell are the same (would need to confirm with Aero). There are definitely Maxwell fit pics floating around the net - I even gathered a collection of them if you're interested.
Personally as a more formal jacket I'd get a Maxwell or even a Moonshiner (more mobility).

 

[zebedee]

I think a Mulligan or a Maxwell in mid-weight brown HH would be great. My cordovan Maxwell is a fantastic jacket. A similar style (although different fit and very different back design) is SB's Klondike: I have one in black goat and it would also be a fine thing in a heavier mid-weight hide. Aero 1920s Work Coat also worth considering, although it would be better (IMHO) with a softer and more rounded collar.

I appreciate the Maxwell, but I like the pocket on the Mulligan--I guess when I mean formal, I do mean more formal than my J106 and Type III, but still "worky," i.e., maybe a Type I or Type II feel, or like the formal-yet-work-attire of 100 years ago. Hence the horizontal pockets, where one might actually store things while working...

Then a shorter Stockman might be an idea. It's both quite formal and functional. This is a Veste de Rally (similar):
