I bought this from the Aero sale page in 2019, see screenshot at the bottom of all the images below. If you know the model, then you know.
Interestingly, Aero sold this jacket as "goatskin". And I thought these had been made in jerky horse. Of course I haven't handled a lot of jerky hides nor whatever goatskin they may have used before their well-known pebble goatskin that they've been stocking for years now. So I really can't tell.
In any event, the hide looks great with its reddish brown hue and it's comfortable to wear, much softer than chromexcel horse in any case. So whatever it is, it wears as softly as a heavier goatskin.
Aero relined this one with their plaid cotton liner, both torso and sleeves (the original LVC collab had a shiny rayon liner) and put new sturdy cream twill pocket liners in as well. So it's fresh inside. Other than that it's the original 2003 one-time production run, made before the Rockafella became an Aero model when they bought back the copyright to the pattern.
Excellent condition inside and out, I haven't worn the jacket and stored it safely in the closet. The abrasions at some of the edges (see collar) appear to be natural to the type of leather used. It actually points toward the hide being jerky horse, but I can't be sure as it merely reminds me so much of the hip pockets abrasions on jerky horse Aero A2 jackets.
The stitching is perhaps more consistent than regular Aero jackets. In any event it's certainly not less so.
