Aero vs. Aero Flight Manu.

Silly question: Is this an Aero (Scotland, the one we love, AeroFan's mothership) jacket, or another maker? It's recent.

I think I read on TFL that these jackets were sub contracted to an Indian manufacturer by Aero Leather Scotland in a bid to produce a range of ‘entry level’ jackets at a lower price.
The first batch of a fixed number of A2’s were fine (this is probably an example), but there were issues with the quality of a later batch and so Aero sent that batch back and cancelled the relationship.
