Here's my first Aero HH jacket from years ago. Russet 'Real Deal' A2.
Surely it would ruin a movie and the disgusted would leave in droves...

HD, we need a picture with better resolution so that we can better determine the number of stitches per centimeter and the relative thickness of the knits. :D On a more serious note, is your "real deal" your usual size 42 or a 44?

It is my usual size 40.

Here's an aero real deal in oil pull HH without the collar studs and hooks. Size 40, extra length added and a bit extra on the shoulders too. It was supposed to be a bit longer than this. As you can see accuracy wasn't a concern for me; I just liked this style of jacket

To my (non stitchcounting) eyes, the knits on the Aero look better:D;)

And to my stitchcounting eyes, the Aero knits also look great. They certainly perform better for modern wearers, mine have help up great for five years but my second-hand Eastman .50 Cal jacket's knits are getting weak.

What you 'may find acceptable' on other forums on the WWW is not acceptable here in TFL and certainly 'not' in 'my room' Gentlemen. For a decade now, we have 'Prided' ourselves for being a small and rare corner of 'civility and decorum' on the internet and most of our Members sign up because of that uniqueness.

You should know that 'by now' if you've been a Member for a while. This is not a free platform or soap-box to throw mud at 'anybody' or to behave discourteously towards other Members.

'If' this is something you feel uncomfortable about, or it doesn't satisfy your own personal needs from the WWW, then question whether this is the right Forum 'for you.' I or my colleagues will be happy to show you the door.

- Thankyou for your time and cooperation.
