Esteemed Members of TFL,
Hope everyone is safe and sound! I am a long time lurker of the Lounge and over the last several years have definitely benefited from the great amount of resources found on this forum, which inevitably led me down the rabbit hole...and now I am also a proud owner of a couple of great Aero jackets...
A few months ago back in December, I was looking for a jacket that has a lighter shade and also a lining to get me through winter in Hong Kong as well as keeping me warm on my overseas travels. I was fortunate to have found a beautiful tan colored board racer-type jacket from Orgueil Japan (the same makers who make the famous Cossack jacket and owned by Studio D'Artisan), in a rich Shinki horsehide no less!
I was able to get the jacket shipped to me from Japan, which was the last size 42 available in this color. The jacket itself just blew me away when I first opened the box- the Shinki horsehide is beautiful to behold, rich in color, and substantial, heavier than my Aero Vicenza but not as thick as FQHH. Besides the luxurious leather, the plaid wool liner adds personality and added layer of warmth, while the finishing, including the stitching and hardware are impeccable.
The only thing has been... Hong Kong has had a very warm winter, most days from December through now in the 70's in Farenheit, which makes this jacket quite tough to wear given the wool liner and that Hong Kong is pretty much always humid outside. Add to the fact that all of my business trips to cooler places have been canceled, sadly this jacket has just been sitting in the closet.
Hence I am looking to let go of the jacket, hoping it will go to someone who will greatly enjoy it!
