"Lucky you" Cafe Racer

[JanSolo]

Saw "Lucky You" yesterday. The film was so-so but Eric Bana wears a really good looking and trim fitting midweight Cafe Racer:

Thanks for the heads up on the movie, Jan!

Are you aware of any movies out there where an Aero leather jacket was worn?

Best decision I ever made when I decided to buy my Aero jacket... I'm so hooked on this brand. I spent a good portion of last night searching thru and reading all old posts on this Outerwear forum pertaining to "Aero" (yeah, I was a bit bored and had some free time on my hand, I know).

@ Jan Solo: Huh, looks like a typical cafe racer. Cool and all, but I think your Aero looks better. Maybe a schott would also fit the bill for someone seeking this style? The only thing that attracted me to this movie (even though I didn't see it) was the use of "Lucky Town" by the Boss in the opening trailer. Good stuff. Also, Robert Duvall.

@ Navin: I'm not aware of too many movies in which Aero jackets are featured. The only one I know of is Seabiscuit, where Tobey Maguire wears what looks like a modified 1930's Cossack.

Thanks RP! I'm curious how you found out that Tobey Maguire is wearing an Aero in that movie... was it actually stated somewhere or are you saying that the jacket only resembles an Aero modified Cossack jacket? His jacket does look great.

Was that an aero that Danial Craig wore in Layer Cake? Or have I got that wrong.
He does own one though I think.

Shortly after Seabuscuit came out..Ken Calder(Aero) informed us on the old Classic 20th Forum that Aero didn't make the jacket that Tobey McQuire wore.

I think I have seen a picture of Daniel Craig here on the Fedora Lounge wearing a private black Highwayman.

Yea, black Highwayman, sunglasses and in the company of a great looking lady. They're departing from an airport or something.
