New Aero 1930s half belt with modified back in battered tan horsehide

[Mainspring]

After a brutal 12 week wait, I recently received my custom Aero 1930s half belt with a modified back. I selected the battered tan horsehide and am very happy with the hide. It's very difficult to capture the coloration/pull up effect in photos. The fit couldn't be better.

To echo what everybody else says, it was enjoyable working with Carrie from Thurston Bros. She offered lots of good advice, assisted me with my special requests, and answered my innumerable questions.

Here is a photo.

You nailed it, man. This one's a keeper. Welcome!

Congratulations on a fantastic looking 1930's HB and welcome to the Lounge. I gather Carrie sent you a fit jacket. Correct? However done, the fit appears ideal. The vertical pleated back from the center back yoke to center HB, as found on the Pioneer, is an additional nice touch.

That's just beautiful man, perfect fit and a very cool mesh of Halfbelt elements. 12 weeks eh? That just pushed my anticipated eta back to July. But it's Ok. The waiting gives you plenty of time to second guess your choices which is such a gas
Fantastic jacket, very well done indeed.

Welcome to the FL and fantastic jacket. The fit looks spot on and the design in the back is great. I bet you can't wait to wear it every day until the leather gets less stiff and the creases start to appear on the sleeves.

Looks awesome @Mainspring! Love the color and the single action back. I have a similar style on the way in a similar color with pullup! The fit looks great. Enjoy!

Excellent jacket there and welcome! Your first post is about your new Aero!

Sure hope you get a chance to enjoy it soon, I know most of my jackets are on the hangers now until September, but jacket season will come again, alas, perhaps just too soon in Iowa

Brilliant. That back pleat is just genius.

The Battered Tan is outstanding. Congrats on a great jacket.

Well done......Welcome........

Very nice indeed. Is that the back from a Pioneer pattern? It's a good fit, particularly considering the added length to this jacket (I beleive Thurston add an inch or two to pretty much all the Aeros they order, length-wise?) - that pleat detail really looks bang on. Enjoy it!

It's the Biz in every way - style, fit and color - just perfect. The tailored look suits you and the jacket is sure to become more appealing the more it's worn.

The 30's Half belt is the new Highwayman.

I have seen so many here lately and they all look great.

Nice Half Belt. Perfect fit. I love the back design. Well done.

 

[Superfluous]

Looks great!

Welcome Mainspring - with the added body length and back pleat it does look more like a Pioneer than a 30's half belt, but very nice all the same and the fit is spot on.

Beautiful jacket, nice fit.

I really like the battered tan HH.

Congrats!
