Well I might pull a sacrilege and put the antique steer jacket up for sale since it isn't worn much. Anyone interested..??

Here's the 2004 Aero add:
" One of a kind " Half Belt size 42

This is very much a "0ne of a kind", The Leather is one odd sample skin of extremely heavy Steerhide that looks and feels like heavy horsehide. Unfortunately if we were to buy any of this leather it would cost more than Horsehide so we can't see any reason to stock it. Price apart it is a very impressive piece of leather. We cut this sample skin into our latest Half Belt jacket pattern ,with double pointed back yolk, four pleats into waistband, side adjusting slide buckle and strap, a three pocket front set up, two deep hand warmers and a zippered breast pocket. The jacket has a gentle slope getting longer towards the front. All these features are typical of the 1930 Half Belted jackets so it seemed a good idea to line the jacket in a '30's style lining material, we chose a piece of our special wool blanket liner.

Lol or something like that! What size is that jacket? I don't think you'll have trouble selling that.

We look near the same size. I sold 2 Aeros, both unique.

It's tagged a size 42, but is a very trim 42. I normally wear a size 40. The other photos of my jackets in this thread are size 40s.

I'd be very interested as well!
