Cool cuffs on the Schott! The Pack In is a really nice jacket as well. I remember it from when I first joined the site.

Hey, how does the aero Daytona feels in this combination? I'm actually in the process of buyng myself one, and strongly hesitate between Tumbled FQHH and Vicenza, so your opinion would help much :)

This is a 1960s 'Pack In' brand steer CR. It is definitely a keeper and one of my main riding jackets.

Greetings HD:
Late post but I really like this jacket. It has components of several different styles, all rolled up into one jacket. That would def be a keeper for me.
By the way HD, those wings look awfully familiar. What are they? Can’t quite tell.
Be well. Bowen

I'd like to add an amendment to my earlier post, take note, the cuffs are exactly four nickels thick. The jacket features positively insane grain and the marbled surface is unlike any other CXL I've ever handled. It's a true animals skin with a multitude of creases and folds that belonged to the animal not the maker or the wearer. I simply can't wait to wear this jacket in the fall and winter. It needs to be worn and worn hard. I'm ready to defeat Chicago's ugliest weather. No doubt.

I feel as though this jacket is the equivalent of going out for Thai at a new joint and asking for extra spicy and insisting you've had it all and can't be shocked. And then. Surprise!
Awesome analogy Ton!
I remember doing just that about 12 years ago with a coworker of mine. We both fancied ourselves immune to spicy food and we told the mild-mannered waiter who took our order to make it hot. Halfway through the meal we were both red-faced, dripping sweat, and we had to admit that we couldn’t taste the food because our mouths were on fire!

The more I see it, the more I like it, and I liked it plenty to begin with. I don't know if it's just your lighting Tony but that has to be just about the richest cordovan colouring I've seen here. It's such a deep, rich oxblood. The collar is the icing on the cake.

@ton312 have they revised the shape of the collar on this model or is that one of your tweaks? It looks better than I remember it

Agreed! I'm extremely picky when it comes to collars but this jacket has one of the nicest, coolest collars I've ever seen. It looks considerably different than any other Aero I've seen. Definite tie between LL Dominator and this one.

A bit of a mystery jacket, made by
" Ross Millard Custom Leather "

Quite possibly a childs horsehide
jacket, but it fits my frame
