Just had this Aero Leather C3 delivered - greedbay £130 offer accepted. I was a bit worried about the 21.5” pit to pit given my 43” chest but it’s actually just over 22” and the fit is perfect. I’ll be able to wear my A2 and A1 in the colder weather now with this underneath.
I’m ok with the wear patina - it’d soon have looked like this within a few weeks of wearing had it been new. It doesn’t have the horsehide semicircle sewn to below the ‘collar’ area on the back and is marked regular rather than a size in inches so I suspect it’s an older model?

That's awesome. I bought a new one, dark seal, few months back when aero was having sale. I think the C3 only comes in lettered sizes. Mine was a large- 22 ptp, 24 back and 21 waist. It's a little baggy and prob could have fit a medium since it's stretchy sheepskin. But I'm mostly going to wear around the house so it's ok it's more relaxed fit.

That redskin is nice though. Hit me up if you ever sell

I finally gave in: I bought @Colin G 's Dehen N-1 and it arrived yesterday. I'll be posting pictures of it in the future when the weather warrants it being worn. Although the shearling lining is very thick and makes for an ever-so-slightly tight fit, it's still a good size. Plus I'm guessing these extra 10 summer pounds aren't helping. :cool:

Colin was great to buy from! Answered all my questions, payment was a breeze, and he shipped out quickly. Jacket arrived ahead of schedule (nice job Canada Post and USPS!).

What a beauty! The vegtan cow leather really is something else - congrats!
Fifteen days after finalising my custom order, it just arrived in Texas. Fit is perfect, the leather is amazing and I initial impression is great. More to follow, once I have time to really get to know it.

Ah - I see now with a closer look at the rippling of the hide this is the vegtan sheep not vegtan cow - both are great and the former has a lovely soft hand from the get-go, with zero break-in needed. Are you planning on making the jump from ovine to bovine next?M

I didn’t think I really liked any of their styles but yours is really really nice - which style is it based on please? (to save me looking).

Oh man that’s cool. I absolutely love the contrast zipper tape. That’s as much an LL trademark as the badge (which appears omitted in your jacket). Superb!

Oh boy, Lewis Leathers Cyclone in British racing green sheepskin incoming.

After I stumbled across a used Lewis Leathers Racing Jacket No 442, which unfortunately does not fit, I can not get it out of my head.
So I asked Lewis Leathers by mail, how it looks with customizing in dark brown sheepskin. Am curious about the answer.

@MrProper ^^^What Marc said. Lewis horse is utility style leather, chrome tanned, painted finish. Very tough, will go through water and heat without changing shape. But does not age at all. Vinyl like.
Lewis veg tan Sheep is THE BOMB! Really luxurious and premium stuff.
I have the same jacket in both leather. I would go sheepskin over horse for Lewis.
Lewis is suppose to come out with a veg tan horse. But it could get expensive like their veg cow.
