Some leathers - but it fades away in a couple of months.
That has also been my experience, they get slightly darker for a couple months, and then one day they just look like it never happened.

working on leather is tricky. requires thicker needle, better sewing machine, etc. They also have to try and match previous holes. I've had more luck with people who had upholstery experience.I want to purchase an Aero Board Racer but the sleeves are a bit long as well as the overall length - about an inch, the rest of the measurements seem just right. Have you got any alterations done to your jackets? Just wondering if it's worth it.

that being said, it's doable. Will probably cost you at least $75-100 to shorten the sleeves with anyone worth their salt. You can try asking Aero to do it.
I've had 3 jackets tailored for various issues. The fit of them improved substantially, and glad I did it and felt like I got value out of it, but there's always a missed detail that bugs me (missed holes, thread doesn't match, etc.). Much rather have waited to get a jacket that fit me from the start now having gone through it.
How long is the body length? I think I've read somewhere that the board racer style is meant to be worn slightly longer as compared to the café racer.as well as the overall length - about an inch

Maybe you could just wear it for some time first. See how you like it.It says the back is 24.75" , the jacket is listed as size 38 and for me normally 36 would fit better but the chest and shoulders seem just perfect by measurements. I'm quite excited to get my hands on it.
I've just measured a jacket I have but with a thick lining and actually has got the same measurements as the Aero I want to buy. Now I'm not sure what to do
I'll see what they say, it would be nice to try it and see how it fits. I'd really like to get on an Aero and this one seems quite alright.
By the way, how does Chromexcel age? I've heard different opinions from different people. Would it be better to look for a veg tan?
This is the first time I've seen these things on jackets I own. It's been like this since I got them. (since day 1)leather bloom, sometime salt from sweat too.
Would it be an idea to stick the 'ask a question get an answer' thread to the top?
