How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

Awaiting quality control.. How long is this process

It usually takes that long to finish.

Anyone received their custom order from the sales period? It took a long time to lock in my measurements, which was my fault. My order has been sitting as "customer confirmed" for nearly a month. Patience is a virtue and all that but the wait is killing me

Just changed to "Awaiting Production". I'm soooo excited....

Me too! It was customer confirmed for a while. Not sure when it changed to AP but thanks for the heads up.

Fit check on new Aero Maxwell

What do you guys think? fit and leather and color? Arrived about 1 week ago, size 44 in Vicenza Cordovan. I am wearing a patagonia air nano underneath. Still feels a little tight around the armpits and biceps area, otherwise it feels pretty "slim fit" but not in a bad way. Neck area feels...

You were awaiting quality control on the 28th so about 10 days after that to delivery. It’s becoming increasingly unlikely mine will get here before Christmas :-/

Actually no, it took 5-6 days to get it delivered.
It was stuck in Castle Donington for 1 day because it missed the flight. Then it went to Germany for another day. Then to NYC for 1 day. Then somehow the UPS driver fucked it up and didn't deliver it even though it was at my doorstep. It went back to the warehouse where is sat for the weekend

Oooo, so there’s hope.

It would be amazing to have it for Christmas.

My jacket J106 just went from cutting to machining. I was told it may still take a few more weeks. no biggie

Mine was delivered a couple of weeks ago, but I‘m away at the moment so haven’t been able to see it

My order arrived today. Would have been pre-Christmas, but I was traveling for the holidays, and asked Aero to hold off shipping until I got back. They were kind enough to comply!

I ordered a customized J-106 with a King of the Road back, in black CXLSH, with olive stitching and olive stateen lining.

Fit is nice. Roomier than I expected, but it works.

The only thing that surprised me is that the D-pocket zipper closes DOWN, not UP. In my mind, I always thought it would be closed UP.

I went and looked, and found that Aero's photo of the jacket does indeed show the D-pocket closes DOWN. But Thurston Bros' photo shows the opposite! I guess either is "correct" then, so not an error, but all things being equal I would have preferred an up-closing D-pocket. I'm pretty sure all other D-pocket jackets I've owned close UP.

Thurston Bros J-106:

Aero J-106:

Well alrighty then! They both look great, and a google image search for "aero j-106" shows examples going both ways, and neither looking "wrong". I guess I just never noticed this before, but ok. If you're going to order one and happen to care, make sure you specify when you order!

The CXL Steer is gorgeous. I'll have to post some pics of mine when the lighting is better.
