Thanks for sharing Scott. They look fantastic.

So, nick, what did you ended up with?

As for me, anxiously awaiting for Aero to re-open on the 4th of January to place my order!

Well, i have received the Campus jacket and it is going back.

The sleeves were supposed to be 26 3/4" but they are 25" which is far too short for me. The body is also very very short (24.5")

The jacket itself is well put together, nice stitching, very nice buttons, but i have to say the leather is very underwhelming.
It is super thin and not very nice and gives a mall vibe to the jacket.
It's not horrible, but it's not a good deal when you consider you can get a shinki jacket from DD for the same price.

I think i could have lived with it if it was half the price, but at $950 it just is not worth it IMO.

I received just for Christmas time my custom Two Tone Aero halfbelt, aviator jacket.
It all began when I first saw a picture of one of their old pattern. I'm kind of crazy about D-Pocket Jackets, and the design of this one appeared outstanding for me.
So I decided to place an order, and very soon it was obvious to me that it had to be a 2 Tone Jacket (I already have a 2T Himel that I adore-but very trim, so can't layer much for winter).
I sent a drawing with the colours I wanted to Denny @Aero and after a few days/weeks of discussion we finaly agreed on making this jacket out of their Vincenza HH in russet brown and Dark seal.
The result is far beyond my expectations: as Denny said "the jacket turned out fantastic", it's very well fitted, very confortable and the Vincenza HH is very supple to wear right of the box. It was constructed by Julie Leitch, From their Ranger Jacket pattern for the front and their original Hercules For the back. And as soon as we agreed on all the details the jacket arrives very quickly (less than a month I guess).
Thanks to them for their fantastic job!

That jacket is lovely! I wouldn't want one in two tone, but i would love an all black version of that!

My next jacket was going to be an Aero Bootlegger, seeing what is pretty much a bootlegger with a D pocket is really interesting.

Possibly a Buzz Rickson L-2 fate permitting.

Holy hell Mysteryo. Excellent!! That baby deserves its own thread!

Beautiful!

Mysteryo, amazing jacket you got there! And I concur, it really deserves its own thread.

@nick123, L-2 are really nice for those colder days in autumn and spring, or the early morning coolness in summer. My Alpha L-2 saw lots of use last year. Good luck for your hunt!

It's been a while since I spent so long staring at pictures of a new jacket. The contrast thread and the buttons are the perfect match to the Russet... I like absolutely everything about the jacket. Kudos to you and the staff at Aero.

^ What he said!

Mysteryo, the lining also looks terrific in your new jacket.

 

[tropicalbob]

It sounds like you (and Aero) put a lot of work into it. Just fantastic in every way. The payoff must be that you're the only guy in the world who's walking around in that ultra-cool jacket. It's so great to see this kind of creativity. Cheers.

Is this actually an Aero design with the added D pocket? Or is it completely new for them?

 

[SpeedRcrX]

Beautiful jacket!

Aero did an astounding job as usual!

 

[Mysteryo]

Is this actually an Aero design with the added D pocket? Or is it completely new for them?

As I said I picked up the front of the "Ranger", the back of the "Hercules", added a chest pocket , and asked for a D-Pocket they used to have on a "30's" jacket pattern.
A kind of mixed up elements, so I guess it's part new for them
The lining is a "Rob Roy" wool tartan.
Maybe Denny can comment on this creation?
