Ridley in battered tan

[Argos123]

dear loungers,
Just received my aero ridley in battered tan in size 42 with 27,5 back length and 28,5 sleeve length. Carrie and aero did a great job imo.

Looks great..!! 28.5" sleeve..Wow..and I thought I had long arms at 26.5"..

I think @Fanch has just found his next jacket! Looks great, and nice to see that style in a lighter colour of leather.

What a beauty! Battered tan seems to be a favorite leather around here as of late, and I can certainly see why.

Congrats.......

I'd never considered that jacket in that leather or color, but, man, that works beautifully. It's great when someone tries something a little different and it turns out so well.

That first photo almost (but not quite) looks like the finish Theodoras at Thedi Leathers achieves.
Looks great, wear it with pride!

Thanks a lot. Attached a new picture that shows the warm colour far better than the other pics.

Best

Very nice. Great example of how leather choice puts a unique spin on a jacket.

Amazing jacket! Same size/sleeve and body length than my A-2, I'm not feeling alone anymore!

Man that photo in the light really shows off the character of the hide. Beautiful jacket and perfect fit. Sweet!

That reallly is something. One of those beautiful jackets that reminds the viewer they have a pulse.

Great hide. The Ridley deserves more attention. It is a great looking cross-zip - more conservative than most other motorcycle-style cross-zips. I've seen a few with a removable mouton collar that I really like.

A beautiful jacket.
And why is it called Ridley?
At once remembering the favorite Chuck Yeager's phrase - Hey, Ridley, you got any Beeman's?

Maybe I'm just blind but can't find the style on Aero's website

It's a Thurston Bros exclusivity, you can only order the jacket through them.

Yep I enquired about the Ridley in the past and it’s only available through thurston. It’s a pity because I don’t think Aero is offering a slim cut cross zip.

The Bootlegger slim fit would be pretty close - just add studs to the collar / lapels (and delete the halfbelt).

The Ridley looks to me like a Cafe Racer with a Bootlegger front.

Well yeah you have to ask to modify some other jacket. I think the Ridley is built on the board racer pattern.
