I'm in trouble now...I promised the folks at Thurston Bros I wouldn't keep changing my order, but if this label is an option, I'm screwed.

This is a 'vintage' Aero label, and I'm sure can be added if requested... we have an incredible archive of labels :)[/Just putting it out there: Ever thought about giving the customer a "label option" at the time of purchase? It would be a cool custom option.
You mean like "Custom tailored for Nick" I've seen that it some of my father in law's jackets from the 30's. we have them in storage as my son is keeping them for his vintage nights out. I should get some pics...they are very cool. Nice idea.

I've actually seen some "made for" labels in a few Aero jackets, but I think they were separate from the neck label (in a different area). They are great until you decide to sell the jacket!

Aero uses that standard label with the "car and motorcycle", which I do like a lot. I have also seen the one with the "sky and clouds" (which I always thought were from the apprentice jackets, could be wrong), as well as the one with the propeller if my memory serves right.

I was just thinking out loud, if say, Aero has a little section on their website that showcases some of their different labels that can be an option, kind of like their tartans. Maybe re-introduce some of the archived patterns if the current ones have some sort of designation attached to them. Again, thinking out loud if it hasn't ever been thought of.

My custom taylor in Hong Kong used to put these labels in. "Custom made for xxxx by William Cheng & Sons". But then they misspellt my last name in one of my jackets... ;-)
Cool stuff anyway and doesn't break the bank, if you ask me.

I love this jacket as well and was thinking about ordering one (because I need another cool jacket hanging in my closet...) but then I read this, and . . . well, I just don't know! :)

If I remember correctly the labels were of significance re. the "quality"

The Yellow / Black / White label replaced the car & Motorcycle label around 2005 in Aero's "1st Quality" jackets
Sale and one offs / apprentice / leather oddments were always labeled with the "Blue Sky" label

Much earlier in the late 80's and early 190's the labels were MUCH more varied ..... the original Highwayman label ( gold "Highwayman" lettering on black background was VERY cool ... and the original highwayman printed label was stunning.
