My cousin used to make pipes down your way in TX!
They were pretty sweet

Wow, he made some really cool pipes. I need to ask my wife where my pipe may be. It was very interesting.

How can I fix this slice in the leather?

Glue and zig zag stitch, I suppose

That’s what I was thinking as well.

And no more knife fights.
Any info on this one? Picked it up a few months ago, but doing a purge and it didn't make the cut.
Aero tag.
The leather feels much more supple and lighter than my ChromeExcel FQHH Aero.
Any info/wisdom/pricing advice to pass along before I list it?
Sorry for the upside down pics.

Would this be jerky HH?
Perhaps a variant of the '59 highwayman? Or predecessor of it?

On second thought, it doesn't look like jerky. Perhaps it's the black soft steerhide (I think that's what it's called) I've seen used in some of their stock jackets.

What's the measurement from chest to hem? P2P 23" down to Hem 21" or 24" down to 22"?
Any other tags inside?
Anyone know if this could be the Conolly hide? Is the Aero brand tag old enough for that to be true?
This one also has no top stitching on the shoulder/sleeve seams. Interesting.
Looks like a zip sleeve Highwayman.

It looks like a fake Aero (replaced label) to me. No top stitch on the sleeve / body attachment. Aero label looks weird. The main zip is an Ailee, a zipper you'll find on French jackets from the 80s or 90s.

It could be. But it also looks like a big jacket that's been altered. The alteration is an ok job actually considering the scope of the surgery. That's why I asked the hem sizing. This is also something I wanted to do for a while. There are no Y shaped Highwayman, only \ / shaped ones, from Aero of course.

I think you're right. Can't tell with the rest of the body, but this sleeve has definitely been altered.

What’s this area looking like? Trying to gauge if it’s just some dryness that can be mainly sorted out with conditioner, or if it looks like something worse? Thanks

Unless it is uncomfortable for you, I would keep it. It looks good to my taste.
