New Aero Waistcoat (Vest?) Design

[LeFonque]

I have my list: pad, camera, wallet...

Dr H, a string vest in FQHH? Now there's an idea!

Sounds kinda cool. (Pun intended) Sloan will you have the copyright to that?

Sorry, got there first - I'm able to announce the 'Nesbit'(c)...

What is the finish on that leather, Carrie? Looks really interesting?

That pocket surface grain looks like goat, but the rest less so. What is the hide, anyone?

Looks like steer. Distressed, etc. but well done.

Don't trust him, folks, it'll be storse!

Thanks Scott. I'll be interested to see how that distressing looks in good light. Bit of a tightrope and easy to get wrong. The early Good Wear cape split opinion down the middle and although my .50 cal works, the early ELC timeworn was a bit hit and miss.
The LVC washed goat that I have seems to be a milder process - John Lever suggests that there might have been some burnishing with newspaper in its past to get that 'grubby shine' TM...

And you're stuck with it...no returns.
It'll still sell though...
Hmmm...the Nesbit (has a ring...)

Unless I'm mistaken, the pictured jacket was posted by Insurrection a while back and if of an original that they and Aero are using for a pattern...I can't wait to see what's released next week.

 

[Dr H]

Thanks Handymike, I though that looked like a very convincingly aged hide...
Personally (and I might be in a minority of one here), I'd prefer not to have the hide aged in this case and not to be the bullet proof FQHH variety as the pattern will be overwhelmed by it.

Fairly sure it will be closer to A2 weight.

Fairly sure it will be closer to A2 weight.

I'd think so given the pattern. Too heavy wouldn't work well for that look.
