Hi
Last summer I purchased the Aero 557XX Type 3 jacket from Thurston Bros. It is a model better known as a "denim jacket". It's made from Vicenza horsehide leather in Dark Seal (dark brown with a touch of a red undertone).
I didn't write a review at the time because the jacket was only worn for a short time. Since I took a few pictures yesterday, I wanted to briefly introduce the jacket to you.
Carrie from Thurston Bros accompanied me through the entire process. Since I had bought other Aero jackets from Thurston Bros in the past and had found a reference for the fit, I ordered this Type 3 jacket.
Typically, this jacket is worn short and close-fitting. Mine was very tight at first, but over the (few) weeks of wearing, it got a little wider so it became really comfortable for me. In general, this medium-strength horse leather is light and the "break in" time is reduced to an absolute minimum. I really like the arm length, the chest width and the cut. The weight is also really great, so it keeps warm in the mornings and evenings during the spring and summer months and doesn't feel bulky.
My jacket features olive green stitching, a troy blanket wool lining, nickel snaps, and cotton satin in the sleeves. I am very satisfied with the workmanship and comfort. I also think the jacket is cool and stylish. A timeless classic, in my opinion.
I really appreciate any feedback!
Best regards
