New Cordo Bootlegger

[ton312]

After what seemed an eternity (actually just a couple months) my Aero bootlegger arrived yesterday. Couldn't be happier with the jacket. The cordovan steer is just such an amazing color. A bit lighter than the HH I think but I'm sure that varies. The color change depending on the light is just beautiful. It's intoxicating to look at. I was very nervous about the order b/c at 5'10 210lbs I've never gotten into anything marked a 40". and like an annoying kid in the backseat I hounded Carrie with are we there yet, is it done yet. God bless her she handled me with patience and professionalism. I spec'd it with 26.5" sleeves and a 27" back length and I think the fit came out nicely. Only addition/ change was zip down hand warmers and zip sleeves. Deleted shoulder epaulettes as well. Kinda wish I opted for the cafe style shoulder gusset for the look. I don't really need the room as I can comfortably get a hoody under it. Basic, garden variety black drill liner. After 45 minutes of looking at plaids I decided black goes with everything. In the end I couldn't be happier with Thurston bros. service and the end product but I'll be damned if I wasn't thinking about what I'd like to do with my next jacket after a couple three floyds last night

Tried to get some shots to show the color variance but apparently too large. Couple of iPhone fit pics attached. Happy Sunday gents!

Nice jacket @ton312 ! Fit is perfect, and it's a different from the usual look! Congrats...

Agreed, that's a perfect fit! Beautiful jacket.

That looks great. Cordovan's a great colour, but probably only fully appreciated when you see it in person.

Fantastic, perfect fit and color.

Thanks guys. I love it!

Looks awesome, ton312, color, leather, and fit. Any fit pics with the jacket zipped?

Very sharp. The look of the Bootlegger has been steadily growing on me.

I'll gladly post some when the light improves and show it zipped. What I really love about this style is that it looks good open and closed!

Beautiful jacket and perfect fit!

I love the cordovan color.

Now you need some boots in cordovan to go with the bootlegger

One of the best of the Aero designs and it suits you to the ground.

Bravo Ton! I'm almost your exact size, and made the mistake of ordering up to my jacket size on my first Aero Highwayman. That thing will mould with you and the color will pop with a little abuse! Great riding jacket!

 

[Monitor]

Ton, that's really perfect! Sleeve length, back length, zipped, unzipped - just perfect!

 

[Bunyip]

That's a show stopper! The cordovan steer is sensational, nice mods too. Will you be riding in it? Congrats!

Spot on fit, love the color!

 

[ton312]

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Thanks man! I doubt it. My bike spits grease and oil and smoke so I have to stick with black leathers when scooting-

 

[Cooperson]

Killer! One seriously cool leather.
