Aeroleather Highwayman in Connolly Steerhide from 1985-1987 - a dream came true!

Randy, Did you ever repair the zip on that Connolly?

Sorry I do not recall it having a zipper issue. But I only owned if a few weeks at the most, so who knowns...

My bad, perhaps I confused you with someone else. LOL.

the leather seems like has been time tested and came out pristine, all the finishing still intact no fading etc. I like how it creases, looks like soft easy to wear, fit looks perfect from the front, the back maybe got stuck on your wallet. congrats!

That’s a beauty, congratulations !

I remember there was a size 44 for sale a year or two ago. If it weren’t for the short arms, I’d have jumped on it like a fat kid on smarties.

Nice pickup. I wore a four-pocket version for years in a black Connoly steer and sold it here. Yes it was cut good sizes smaller and less boxy than the current Aero HWM

Picture of label on the one I owned.

I purchased it from a forum Ken Carter use to run about Aero

Just a quick question about early Aeroleather Steerhide Labels were used, @cloudylemonade @Hide'n'seek

Is there a difference/reason about blue or red letters were used or it is only a "cosmetic thing"?
What was meant by "deluxe", special processing, material etc.

Maybe there is a Forum Member as well to bring some light in it?

Thank you for taking your time!

Ever get any info on this?

To be honest, I don’t remember but I guess no after checking my DM‘s. But also lost the interest to get answered this question because jacket has been sold meanwhile due some sizing issues (too short on sleeves and too tight in chest area, sadly).

OK, thanks for getting back.
