Fantastic Aero patina developing after only 2 1/2 years.......

[dan_t]

Well, we all know how great quality leather products start to look with some wear on them, so I thought I'd share how this brilliant little Aero is going....

Bought in May 2015, used every day, hand-crafted with the highest quality materials & produced no doubt by very talented artisans.

A wonderful patina is starting to develop. The CXFQHH leather is buttery soft yet feels as though it'll outlast me.
The colour has developed into a deep, rich brown with grain visible. A high-spot 'polish' finish adds character and depth. Stitching is straight as a die with no loose threads visible.

Anyway, enough of me going on & on, here are some pics for your pleasure......

Sorry, did you think I was talking about a jacket....?


Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Yes - of course I thought it was a jacket!

Superb wallet and leather, though, which would make a nice anything. The new photo appears to show a black wallet, so please advise if your wallet started as black.

Here's to many, many more years of leather beauty!

Hey there @HPA Rep , posted this for a bit of light hearted content.
The first pic is lifted straight from Aero's website.
When I received my wallet, it was much lighter in colour than it is now. I'd say a mid-brown.
Aero's standard FQHH brown.

Merry Christmas to you as well.

Thanks for clearing that up, Dan.

If I'd known Aero made wallets, they would have gotten all my money years ago.

Nice patina going there. I like it! Maybe we should start a "show your leather wallet" thread?

 

[TREEMAN]

Excellent...any fit pics ?

Don't joke, I was going to take a number of shots in my pocket & ask for feedback on the profile & whether it sat in line with my belt.....
I clearly have more free time available today than normal..

Nice wallet and beautiful watch too!
I had the same one, Breitling Colt, but sold it on as it was too heavy for me, I do regret that though.

Ahh, ya got me, Dan! The only clue I had was that you said it was used every day - that got my attention and made me wonder.

Nice post, cleverly worded and laid out. The pics were great too. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to appreciate how my wallet ages and gains character. The same goes for belts and some (only some) shoes too.

But I have a question - what is a guy who lives in Australia doing with a Medicare card in his wallet? Do they have it down there too?

 

[dan_t]

Yup, that's the name of our national health care system.

Good one Dan, I was thinking how could you wear a jacket every day here, especially given the current punishing heatwave! Merry Christmas mate!
