Santa came early! New Aero Halfbelt

[Aether]

It has to be said, I've been a very, very good boy this year, and it looks like Santa has rewarded me with an early present...

Aero FQHH Brown 50's Halfbelt with a Heavy Tweed lining.

I'm thrilled with this one. I think Aero have nailed the fit.

I have to agree with you, the fit looks spot on. How tall are you and what size is the jacket?
The jacket looks fab too! You really must have been good!

Aether,

The jacket looks awesome and it is a great fit.. Have to admit I haven't seen that type of lining before but it looks super.. did you order this through Locharron or somewhere else?

 

[53Effie]

Very, very nice jacket and I agree with the others; the fit looks just right. I'm hoping Santa will surprise me too!

 

[Forrest]

Awesome!!! Terrific fit, great color. I love it.

Thanks Chi-Town,

I fancied something a bit different and asked Amanda if they had any heavier wools or Tweeds. Until the jacket turned up I didn't have a clue what it was like.

It's quite thick and seems to be pretty warm but it is a bit coarse, just what I was looking for!

Cheers Bonneville,

I'm 5'10" and the jacket is labelled a 40". I did give my measurements to Amanda, so I guess the standard 40" pattern would have been 'tweaked' a bit?

Nice jacket! Very nice fit. I have to agree Aero got this one right!

 

[Cooperson]

Nice one Aether, I do like halfbelts and yours looks great - Aero's brown heavy front quarter horse takes some beating. Enjoy!

 

[split]

Very nice. I hope mine will fit just as well!

 

[JakeHolman]

Great idea with the tweed, love it. Warm enough for the current weather?

p.s. i'm a fellow half-belt owner from Surrey, must be quite an exclusive club

Very nice Aether, I've been wondering what Aero's tweed linings were like. Enjoy.

 

[Aether]

Thanks everyone.

Jake, I don't reckon there are too many Aeros around here... lots of Lambskin 'designer' efforts, but you don't often see anyone wearing a nice bit of hide, but we wouldn't want everyone knowing about Aero anyway would we?

The Tweed does seem pretty warm, I've been wearing it non-stop (obviously!) with only a tee and a flannel shirt and I haven't gotten too cold. It is a fair bit thicker than the Lochcarron tartan linings though. Maybe twice as thick?

Dav, check out the Aero Japan website. They have a few different linings (and other bits and bobs) on there: http://aeroleatherclothingjapan.com/gallery?picasaViewAlbumId=PartsDetails,3

OMG they're doing an Indy Jacket ?!!!

I love the back panel on that, very neat.

You must been a good boy indeed!
Superb looking jacket, excellent fit! I like the tweed lining and back panel too.
Cheers,

Great fit. That's the exact jacket I'm leaning towards getting. Thanks for the pics.
