Aero Waterfront coincidence

[breezer]

Was travelling on the underground today when a fella sat down beside me wearing a reversible Aero Waterfront. I couldn't help myself and engaged him in a spot of chat……as I wondered if it was my old Waterfront, that I traded back to Aero some 5 years ago, a move I had always regretted. It turns out we we had both done the same thing - he had traded his cloth Waterfront for the leather version, I had traded my leather version for the cloth one! But, alas, the one he was wearing was not mine. I wonder where my old one ended up?

Both are great jackets!

Talk about a special occurrence! Must've made your day.

The annoying thing is that I had contemplated wearing my Waterfront today, but I decided against it, as I was lugging a heavy SLR camera around and selected a jacket more suitable to the job at hand. ( Carhartt chore coat )

I love the cloth Waterfront - mine was the first Aero I bought new. I love it so much, I'm tempted at some point to see if they could make me a halfbelt in the same wool, perhaps shearling lined....

I do hope they can develope another colour, say, red/black checked wool? I really love the Waterfront, just the colour stops me from buying it.

I would love something in red/black too. Prefer button up and slightly longer.

For me the cloth Waterfront is perfection! I couldn't get along with the leather version - so heavy, and the poppers didn't keep out the cold. Talking to Ken about a non reversible leather waterfront, basically a black A2.

Horse for courses.... the green is what attracted me in the first place; makes a nice change from the much more common red. It'd definitely be nice to see the option of the same in a red, though, and maybe a blue. I'd definitely consider another wool jacket if they could get a differently coloured check. Nice switch from the leather sometimes.

Saw an Aero A2 in black FQHH on the Bay years ago. Looked nice, though I ouldn't go that heavy a hide for that style of jacket. The newer goat Aero have now, which is available in black, would be a nice option.

The chap I met today had his reversible, custom made, in goat. The one I had was, I think, front QHH - so heavy! But beautiful to look at, just not very practical.

I too love the green check of the waterfront. Red would be nice, a bit woodsy. Blue would be stunning!

Yeah, it must have been. That wool really is hefty stuff for lining material.

The red one does have the lumberjack vibe, which I'd especially enjoy when I fancied a spot of cross-dressing.

Edward, have you looked at the vintage Pendletons on ebay lately? At Dinerman's prompting, I saw some really nice, odd-colored ones recently going for very reasonable prices. I was sorely tempted, but I live in a tropical swamp.

Am partial to a Pendeltons shirt myself, but for the Aero Waterfront, it has to be the green!
