Now I would like to give you an update on what happened after I got the jacket.

After taking a closer look at the jacket after the initial euphoria and also measuring it, because P2P seemed a bit too big to me, I discovered a few not so great seams.
I really wanted to wear the jacket, but thought that these little things might annoy me in the future if I don't get confirmation that this is okay. Maybe it has to do with the leather and is just like that.
Not that we get ourselves wrong. I would have worn the jacket like that, but on the next order I would mention this points.
However, I described my points and confidently placed the judgment on the workmanship of the jacket in Holly's hands.

And what should I say? Only a few hours later, Denny got in touch (because he got the mail forwarded) and explained some points in a comprehensible manner. Denny also found that the workmanship did not meet his quality standards and that the jacket shouldn't have reached me like that and that he will the jacket picked up and made me a new one.
That made me very happy, even if I was torn as to whether I shouldn't keep it, because of the renewed waiting time and the risk that something else might not fit.
But in the end I thought to myself that the chances of getting a cool jacket were good and I accepted the offer for a replacement jacket.
And once again I cannot praise the people at Aero enough, as they have rethought the parameters for the replacement with me in a super friendly and patient manner.
Really great customer service, which confirms that I have made a good choice with Aero. And this will certainly not be the last order :D

Fortunately, I didn't have to wait another 14 weeks, everything was handled within three or four weeks. And what should I say? The new jacket is a dream (for me, others may see it differently). Absolutely flawless work, great seams, the size is as I imagined, the leather seems a little thicker than the first one (but I can be mistaken). And the smell is still amazing.
It was really worth it, even if the first jacket wasn't unwearable.
I am really happy with it.

And as a surprise there was also an Aero coat hanger in the package.

And maybe a few more words before discussions arise: Mistakes happen wherever serious work is done. That is not an issue at all. The only question is how it is dealt with and I have to say that my experience was really first class.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Aero team again.
(My English is not the best. In this respect, I hope that nothing is misunderstood.)

The jacket is superb and I strongly feel that Aero stands behind their products. Even though I haven't found my Aero just yet, all my experiences with them were nothing but a pleasure. You're right, mistakes happen and as long as you acknowledge them and do your best to fix them I see no problem at all.

Congrats on this one and I'm really looking forward to seeing it in a year's time :)

Wholeheartedly agree. I am truly happy how it turned out for you. And it confirms my own previous experiences with Aeros customer service.

And that's what sets the Aero customer service aside from the rest. Hats off to them once again.

The fit on your remake is better congratulations. I notice you keep the shoulder gustets

Thank you. Yes, somehow I liked the gussets ;)

How's this jacket looking since it first debuted now?
Unfortunately, when I was working from home I wore the jacket less than I wanted. nevertheless it has become a little darker with rain and sun. still the jacket that i wear the most at the moment. it is perfect for spring and summer. where a dark jacket looks out of place due to the weather, the light leather is perfect.

yours hangs exactly like mine. I have that same line on the left chest. Although mine is a little deeper because I think the jacket is a touch too tight for me. Oh well, I've learned to live with it. But I really like the cut and yours is developing nicely. The collar wave is perfect.

Yeah, those stupid Aero wrinkles.
I think it comes from the quite shallow neck to shoulders angle and maybe bit tight armholes.
In the first jacket one size larger, the wrinkles were less pronounced, but too large at the back.
I can also live with it and think with increasing age of the jacket it will be less and less noticeable. But this pattern I would very likely no longer order.
Nevertheless, currently my favorite jacket.

great slow progression, do you enjoy this stage of color? I find it hard to combo with new jeans until several shades darker, yet the darkening from just wearing alone is getting slower at this stage.
