Aero Natural CXL HH J-106/KotR/Indian Mix Biker Jacket

[Feliksas]

Howdy all,

I just got word from Aero that my custom jacket shipped today. I asked them to take some photos before shipping so that I could show you guys:

Type: J-106
Size: 38"
Leather: Natural CXFQHH
Customised:
King Of The Road Back (Yoke, and hidden belt)
Indian Ranger Throat Latch
Brass Hardwear
Zips with Brown Tape
Olive Drab Thread
Blackwatch Weathered Tartan Lining
Inside Gun Pocket - zip closure, pull down to close
Car, Bike, Plane Aero Label
Standard 25.25" Back
Standard 25.5" Sleeves
[edit: Confirmed by Sam, standard 38 all around, so it should be easy to reproduce for anyone that's interested--nothing is longer or shorter, it's all standard 38]

More pictures on arrival, but I think it's pretty sweet--I haven't seen *any* pictures of a light-coloured J-106, and I do think that this build is particularly handsome! What do you guys think?

Also--what should we name this Frankenstein?

Cheers!

-F

I hope to heck you hate it and it doesn't fit.

That thing looks a-mazing. I want it.

Awesome I'd call it, and I'm not a biker/cross zip wearer, but that one says "buy a bike Nick".

I’d call it bitchin...and my “Get out of my way” jacket!

 

[breezer]

nice jacket, but the title of the thread is somewhat offensive - probably unintended I'm sure, but putting a swear word next to the word Indian does not read well......I have no clue what its referring to

 

[GHT]

If it were mine I would refer to it as: "My new Kick-Ass leather."

Are many people offended by this? I live in Europe, and nobody cares, so it's hard for me to judge what a faux-pas is in North America. If everyone is super offended even though offence was not my intent, perhaps the mods can change it.

[robrinay]

I hope they’ve made it too big for you (in my size)

 

[ton312]

The only thing I'm offended by is the fact that this jacket is 20X cooler than anything I've ever owned and ever will. Absolutely brilliant combo of parts between the j-106 and an elvis. Stunning!

How is that offensive? He didn't write "Indian ba***rd", he wrote "J-106/Kotr/Indian ba***rd", which means the love child of all the jackets mentioned above...
There is literally nothing offensive here!

 

[Maitiu]

How is that offensive

Because everyone is offended by everything today. I'm offended you had to ask why it's offensive!

Btw, kick ass jacket!

 

[breezer]

I'm not the 'easily offended brigade' and I'm not trying to start a squabble, apologies if it comes across that way.....but the language is somewhat jarring, thats all......

 

[Boyo]

Everything looks Great when made from Natural CXL.. I love that leather... Great Jacket.. looking forward to fit pics..

 

[Psant25]

I love it !

 

[Guppy]

What's the pit-pit on the 38?

Yeah, seconded.

And here I thought there's nothing else in this jacket business that'd ever leave me impressed. It isn't something unseen but the way they've pulled it off... "HOLY SH*T" was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this.

22"

Sam said that he was excited to make it, and that the King of the Road back is his favourite As, for me, the J-106 has the most distinct front, the King of the Road back seemed like the obvious choice if going full-busy, and as I plan to wear this jacket all year round, throat-latch is a must.

@Guppy, I'll measure when I get it, but it's whatever the standard J-106 pit to pit would be. For reference, my "Relaxed Chest" measure for the jacket was 103cm – 40.5”, and "Expanded Chest 105cm – 41.5”--but none of the measurements I provided necessitated changes to the off-the-rack measurements.

FTR, I'm:
183cm tall
75kg
82cm around the fattest part of my belly, but at order time, my measurements were:
Stomach 92cm – 36.25” // Waist 89cm – 35”

 

[Guppy]

Thanks. Based on that, I'd likely need to go with a 40, or perhaps 42. Which is not surprising. Time to start saving up...
