Aero Mulligan

[Bunyip]

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any pictures of their Mulligan jackets? I'm pretty interested in one, but haven't seen too many pictures out there. I was very keen on a Teamster, but am quite intrigued by the Mulligan. It seems to be a slimmer cut that the Teamster...any thoughts or pics would be much appreciated...

Fanch has a very nice one.

Yes, I saw that. I was chasing a Teamster, but this model looks pretty versatile too. I would be tucking in the top pocket flap. I'm not so sure how I would go with the slimmer cut of the Mulligan. It could look pretty smart, and I haven't found other Aero slim cuts to be too spooky....

Here you go. I requested no chest pocket on the left. This is a trim fitting jacket with an inch or so added to the body and sleeves. The Maxwell pattern is identical except slash handwarmer pockets instead of cargo pockets. The cargo pockets of the Mulligan are very functional and also tuck inside for a cleaner look.

That's a beauty Fanch. How does the cut compare to your teamster?

 

[Fanch]

Both my Mulligan, Maxwell, and Teamster are size 42 with ~1" added to sleeves and body. It is somewhat difficult to compare the Mulligan and Teamster since the former is jerky MWHH lined with cotton drill throughout and the latter FQHH lined body shell with moleskin. The Mulligan is slimmer fitting, but the Teamster has a better "feel" that is difficult to describe. My goatskin Maxwell, also lined throughout with cotton drill, has a better "feel" than the Mulligan. I am told the the new Italian MWHH has a softer touch and better drape than the jerky MWHH and I suspect is well worth the upcharge and then some!

Here is the goatskin Maxwell:



And the Teamster:



My apologies for the truly marginal pictures taken with an IPhone camera.

Thanks for the feedback Mr Fanch. Much appreciated. It's difficult being in Oz as I don't know anyone that owns an Aero, and there aren't any stockists to try on or get a better idea....the photos are great mate, iPhone or not...wasn't that long ago we had to go to the chemist, get them developed and then find a nerd that had a photo scanner....

There's a shop in Gertrude St Melb that stocks some Aeros .

I'm falling in love (thanks FANCH!) with buttons lately... A lot easier than messing with fussy zips.

Correct! I would love a couple of chunky zips on my aeros, it drives me nuts.

Your buttoned jackets look great Fanch and you wear them well. Unfortunately, it's chilly and windy or cold and windy here much of the year, especially in the evenings. So I think I really need a zipper. I agree that buttons would be easier.

Road yesterday for the first time in 10 weeks and I loved grabbing the big pull on the Langlitz with my gloves.

Fanch you saved me much time... (though not much money in the long run I believe). I was looking at the Aero buttoned offerings trying to figure out which I liked more, Mulligan, Teamster or Maxwell. Much as I tried I couldn't find the Maxwell on the Aero homepage anymore.... discontinued? But thanks for helping me figure out what I want. Probably a Mulligan in Black Italian horse with light contrast stitching.

Hi Worf, i believe the Maxwell MAY only be available through Thurston....or at least you may have to ask Aero if inquiring directly....

I am seriously considering a Mulligan as my next jacket (do I really need three "button front" jackets though!)....
Another Italian HH this time in black ....with brown contrast stitching/button/liner (I like the brown black combos)....or maybe I'll go with the tumbled fqhh...too mant damn choices!

Everyone* needs a button-up jacket. Preferably in black goat.

*I do. At some point.

Buttons rock, even when a "Texas Blue Norther" is blowing through here. :rockon:
