Here's my levi's slim fit suede trucker. Really one of my favorite jackets since I got it this summer. The suede is light but really beautiful color. View attachment 90521
The only thing that bothers me is this unnecessary seam in the sleeve. The seam bisects the sleeve into two halves needlessly, seemingly just to save leather. It's weird cause nowhere else on the jacket did they do this kind of thing, even the back which requires a large swathe of leather. View attachment 90520

You s it a little longer than a ‘normal’ trucker?

Nah it's actually pretty short, at 24" back length for a medium which is really perfect in my opinion.

@Woodyear nice jacket! Is that a current model or vintage offering?

It's a relatively current model from a few years ago, can sometimes still be found on eBay if you search Levi's slim fit suede trucker. They really are slim fit too, unlike most American brands that label things as slim.

If you're following Aero on the Instagram app, they've posted a story video showing a leather trucker with a striped Troy Mills blanket as a liner. It's the same as used on the Stormrider in the bottom left of this photo.

Nice catch. Couldn't find one that fit me. Just have to wait till they come on the market.
Looks real good?

@jonesy86 you could always get Aero to build you a Type 3 from their midnight blue Chromexel...
I want them to make a black dyed over blue, whats it called, like a teacore? So that the more it is broken in the more it fades to blue. Riveted buttons instead of snaps, type 3 with hand warmer pockets. I'll look at the midnight blue and start eating more beans, rice, and tortillas in order to afford another jacket. :)

That looks so perfect in CXL! I knew it, I knew Aeros is going to be the best version out there and it is. And the fit is perfect, especially the length of the jacket. Right at the belt. You got literally a perfect jacket.

Thanks @Monitor, I'm really stoked about this jacket, I really like the fit and FQHH is a beast & I think this pattern works really well for me.
I saw recently that Aero plans to add Troy Blanket lining as an option, keep your eye out for that, as that lining in a FQHH jacket like this sounds PERFECT..

The Trucker Jacket
723340181
Black Buffalo Leather
XL

They gave me a 30% discount so it cost around $280. Had to go XL to get the length on the arms, but I am swimming in it. Don't know anything about buffalo, or how strong it is, but this is pretty thin, and very soft right out of the box. It certainly isn't a Black CXL Horse, Schott, LW, LVC, or any of the upcoming Aero line that is for sure. Made in India, and feels kinda flimsy. Don't know how it will wear, or hold up. I have been looking for a light weight jacket.Tempted to run it through the washer and dryer to beat it up a bit, and maybe shrink it. But then again maybe I will return it and wait for the Aero's to come out.
