Q1 2015 Jackets 1 of 5 - Aero B3 (42) Fenland Sheepskin

[Plumbline]

I had been after one of these for a while ... for those that are aware of the ( now closed) Fenland Sheepskin Tannery, they produced possibly the finest sheepskin for jackets that I am aware of. I have an Eastman ANJ-4 in the same hide and it is wonderful stuff with a very soft hand, amazing drape and less weight than most other sheepskins on the market ... the closeure of the tannery was indeed a loss for jacket makers.

This was a purchase from a Hospice who had received it as a donation pretty much unworn and although originally it did not have the 3 way stud fitted, I find it very useful so had Alexanders fit them ( not for the purists I agree but it's a REPRO and as such I'd rather have what I like rather than a stitch for stitch replica). I also added the Mash AFF waterslide decal which I am getting quite good at now .. takes a bit of practice.

With regards to fit .. while I appreciate the view on here (as always) I DONT NEED FIT ADVICE .. I know what I like and I know what fits me .... this fits me and I like it

Any way on the basis that a picture paints a thousand words .. I thought you guys would like to see it

Looks incredible mate. Seriously awesome looking jacket. I can imagine these style jackets to look great with fitted jeans tucked into rigger boots designed with fashion in mind. Uber masculine

Wow! You could comfortably stroll down Michigan Ave in late January in that jacket and it would feel like June. That is a fortress man!! I keep seeing this type and thinking I need one...does it come with an angled zip
Looks great man!
