I am not sure I have to ask. I just know it is full veg and not painted or coated, hoping this is the one to transform the most.Like undyed/suntanned? Amazing warm colour.

Is this the Ralphs-Pugh pattern? He’s getting really good!
I have to disagree on this. I never thought I would say this when it comes to leather jacket and sweatpants, but @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead managed to pull it off!Wow! that jacket is stunning and it fits you perfect! Shame on you for wearing it with sweatpants though! i think you've crossed a line.
A brand new wool Aero, yes. The final frontier. A modified version of this:A brand new Aero!?!?!?

I’ve got the forehead, just need the costume.From my lovely GF: "This looks like something a DC vilain would wear in the forest"
Not exactly RP repro. I wanted a Hercules style back because I don't have one yet. And he added extra topstitch in the front. I should get the jacket soon.Is this the Ralphs-Pugh pattern? He’s getting really good!
Yes. Chloe is their communication person from the factory. They upgraded their system too. So you get an email with something like this attached instead of just words:Question for those whom have placed recent orders with Aero directly. Do they still send a spec sheet to review before production? In the past I have always submitted my specs, Aero reviews them and creates their own sort of punch list they send to me to review, we agree and it goes into production.
With my latest, I submitted my spec sheet, paid my deposit, but have yet to see Aero’s punch list. I suppose I am to assume they caught all the tweaks (a small number in this case but significant nonetheless). Just curious if this is simply how they operate now. I’ve been more than a bit frustrated by this process and it for damn sure ain’t my first rodeo.
Honestly, I thought I would have the jacket by now. I started the discussion in early April, was told 2-3 weeks delivered "once finalized" and have yet to see this sheet^. I have paid my deposit, emailed multiple times to ask if I can simply SEE THE AERO SPEC SHEET. And now multiple weeks have passed again. So I have no idea what I'm getting. I did make changes, wool sleeves with leather HWM style cuff, wool collar w/ leather underside, lining change and some slight measurement tweaks (important ones). Maybe they have it all recorded off my spec sheet and it's no big deal....but maybe not. I'll be honest, as much as I do want the jacket, it's leaving a really bad taste. I am not a new customer with a bunch of dumb ass questions. I know how to do my part, make the sheet and pay. I just want the acknowledgement that all the tweaks have been reviewed and approved BEFORE they start building it!Not exactly RP repro. I wanted a Hercules style back because I don't have one yet.

That was pretty quick (lead time), your wool HB jacket.
That sucks man, nothing gets me steamed faster than poor (or nonexistent) communication. Here’s hoping they hit you up soon.Honestly, I thought I would have the jacket by now.

The Hercules style back is definitely one of the coolest jacket backs around, up there with Langlitz pinstripes as far as I’m concerned.Not exactly RP repro. I wanted a Hercules style back because I don't have one yet. And he added extra topstitch in the front. I should get the jacket soon.
Shawn has ruined you in the customer service department. JK. Perhaps this is a wake up call for Aero (and others) to include some type of instant chat into their new system. I am not a fan of FB or Insta but I like how the messaging function works. Hope you get some resolution with your Aero jacket soon. It's a very cool jacket, sans the CS problem.Honestly, I thought I would have the jacket by now.

This is absolutely true but in all honesty, I don’t ask for much. The absurdity of ordering a wool jacket at the start of summer is not lost on me. I don’t even care how long it takes to make. I can’t wear it until November. I just want to make sure they get it right the first time, so my jacket doesn’t end up on the sale page (like my PHWM did). Luckily they caught their errors before it shipped to me but I had to laugh at that.Shawn has ruined you in the customer service department.
Okay I have been chasing this particular model Perfecto for awhile now , even went as far as to call it my grail piece. The tag size and measurements all seem to line up to being a good fit and now I wait. Will it be what I have dreamed of? Or wind up in the Classifieds?
