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

I received Ken’s blessing today for my modified HWM. I’m very excited to proceed. I think this will be the best Aero I’ve had to date and hopefully my last for years to come.

How’s the midnight blue looking like now?

Found this Prince Heinrich suede hat buried in some goodwill kinda store, $2. I put it on just to laugh, hadn't taken it off for the rest of the day. This is my final form now. @navetsea , you were right. And no, I'm not taking my business to the hats sub-forum.

haaa, see... now that guy in the pub would have to face your jacket game or go home, but seriously nice cap congrats

@ton312 You can show this post to your kids when you bequeath this jacket to them in let's say 30 years Joking aside, I think this jacket fits you very well and is a real keeper...so please don't sell it!

It's too late now and it's all ogre, too. Now I'm just that guy with a silly hat.

What modifications are planned?

Nothing too dramatic. Delete waistband,
Move belts up 5”, standard storm cuff sleeve, retain front and rear yoke, handwarmers zip closed toward hem w/same puller as main zip-midnight blue CXL, brown corduroy in body, cotton drill in sleeve.

That’s a good question. Haven’t seen any in a while and they probably don’t have any right now. I’ve already decided I might not see this jacket until this time next year. I hope that’s not the case but I’m firing off my spec sheet this morning. Then I’ll just wait.

We’ll be waiting too!

I like the sound of this one. Super basic, no frills or bells and whistles. This pattern is really great. It’s just a super simple design and the cut and hide does all the work. I would’ve never guessed in a million years. It’s taken me quite some time to learn what I’ll actually wear.

I just asked Shawn for all the samples of heavy goat they have with an eye towards a Cossack. I saw a light yellow jacket in heavy goat on their website, as well as distressed heavy goat in russet. Not sure if they stock those hides, but will report when I get the samples.

I was told they stock the premium goatskin in black, seal, russet, and cognac.

 

[deswaaf]

Wow! This one looks really good, you're definitely in for a treat!
Impressions and fit pics when you get it please

Will do! It's in the local post office right this moment, picking it up first thing tomorrow. Will make a thread somewhere on here with all of the above!

I imagine this is confined only to those of us whom somebody once called "Aero fanboys", ha, but there is a bit of a buzz when a modified jacket idea gets 'the nod' from someone as knowledgable (and gifted a designer) as Ken. Look forward to seeing the end product.
