How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

How long have folks waited for any recent, made-to-order Aeros? I don’t want to bug them with my impatience, and I’ve not waited very long as-is. Just wondered what lead times are like since they reopened; didn’t know if the quoted “10-12 weeks” is just a placeholder or current.

Becoming an old sack like me it needs some sacrificial substance so I added a little „o“ around the V in time...Once I’m 70 I’ll be back in old shape...:D

Well now we’re going to need a full review, don’t leave us hanging. Looks incredible, great score.
Just a few observations.
1) The leather surface looks very close to the shiniki on a RM Buco but feels slightly heavier than the shiniki;
2) The cutting is similar to the Schott Perfecto with serious drop from chest to waist which is very different from the Buco J-24, Beck 333, Hercules D pocket and HD Cycle Champ etc. style of the same era;
3) they do purposefully use different parts of leather and with different thickness, e.g. the belt and epaulets are thinner than other parts of the jackets. The underside of the sleeves match with the front and back and are smoother but the outside of the sleeves are more grainy.

Just sent Denny an email. I’m so enamored with this zip sleeve HWM I’d like to build a winter version. This jacket:

But spec’d this way:
Midnight blue FQHH
Retain front and back yoke
Nickel hardware
Standard/storm cuff sleeve
Brown corduroy liner
Delete waist band
Move side adjusters up 3” to match above
(Or send them unattached and I’ll have Dena do it)
Keep all measurements (length/width) the same.
I’m not sure they’ll do it...



...but I am hopeful.

Do you want the mane again?
Since you delete the waist band, dont you want something else like a throat latch or something?
