Before anyone asks - Wrangler 13mwz's, New Balance trainers and a McRostie of Glasgow Harness leather kilt belt (I replaced the buckle with a n.o.s. brass harness buckle i found on eBay). Speedway XL (45" chest), with an extra 1/2 inch on sleeves and waist, Talon nickel zipper and standard lining. I can honestly say this is the best one I own - many thanks to all at Aero Leather especially Rachel and Christine who facilitated the order, Denny who sorted the lining and in particular to Julie Leitch who crafted it.

Brilliant, perfect fit.

You left out mention of your brand of socks.

Seriously, when I clicked open the link, I thought "okay, another nice looking jacket of the nice-looking type that is so common to us here on the Lounge: a good jacket" Good fit, good length, etc. Then, when I saw the image of the back, I went "WOW!" You just upped the game by a bit, sir.

Liz my wife tells me that the socks are Calvin Klein - typed with 'tongue firmly in cheek'

Love the length and fit of that. How heavy does the goat feel?

Absolutely beautiful! I’ve been looking at the Speedway design for a while now. I tried a Levis Blue/Black Speedway a while back, but the measurements were all off. And the goatskin on yours looks much more supple and rich than the Levis. Good choice, perfect fit. Enjoy!

Jacket looks great, I absolutely love it and so should you!

I agree with IXL's comment above. It's odd how different some of the designs look when you see someone actually sporting one. Although it looks nothing like the jacket Elvis wore in the film of the same name, I think you've definitely got an Elvis thing going on with the collar up. Cheers.

Thank you everyone. It's very comfortable, feels light smells great and creaks nicely when I move.

The new goat that Aero are now using is stunning; I have my eye on that for a future jacket. I do like the Speedway a lot; it has influenced my latest jacket (got it a few weeks ago, but yet to have the chance to wear it, weatherwise. Photos when I do, though); what I have is basically a Dustbowl with a Speedway front. Cracking fit. The designs Ken has brought out since coming out of retirment have really pushed Aero to new levels.

Sounds v interesting - can't wait to see how it looks.

It's a beauty, I really like it! Nice length and great overall fit too. One things for sure, with Julie making it, you can rest assured you've got the best of the best!
