Hmm. Tricky, this is like choosing your favourite children or pets. In no particular order...

1. Aero Irvin multi-panel:

2. Aero Board Racer:

3. Aero Long Half-Belt:

I still covet a Good Wear Monarch M422A, The Few's blue A-1 and at the moment I have my eye on an Aero Rockafella, the news that Ken's about revisit John Lever's Radjacke with a view to a full repro, cut properly, with double-breasted buttons and in a lighter leather may see that one usurped...

What can I say? It's not a criminal offence.

 

[Rudie]

Are there any pics of that BK Hercules already?

 

[Sloan1874]

I don't think BK have updated their website since they brought in their Aeronaut.

Nice tread, like it best when you post with pictures. Great to see the jackets for us newbies. Maybe I will find my own top 3 looking trough this tread

When referring to the Jacket, please use the OG....
(old Greek) Heracles.

Huh? How can anybody claim this to be one of their favorite jackets when they don't know how it will look in the end?

Cos we know what it's meant to look like and have faith in the anally retentive nature of BK and their ability to replicate

They are working on a new website now, but dont know when it will online.

Man, I have yet to see a jacket on Cole that doesn't fit perfectly!

 

[Benny Holiday]

They are calling him by his Greek name- "Heracles"

lol:eusa_clap

You guys are making my list go to 4, 5, 6 and beyond . . . though I think Hoosier Daddy's antique steer Aero halfbelt is the living end.

 

[Dr.Seuss]

For myself, the triad of: Maxwell; Teamster; and Barnstormer (the last elusive beast on my list). Damn this forum.....damn those horses......damn the torpedoes, credit cards ahead!!

Mendelboaz!!!!! I hate this post!!! I've been working with Alan from JL on a jacket made in the 4.25 cxl overdye. Your post makes me want to scrap it and get the 641HH!!! Just when I thought I had it all figured out you go and do this..
