Not to forget this one. Same hide, same tree but different jacket. Slim fit Cheyenne/Stockman hybrid:

Han, where are you these days? still lounging? anyway, i posted elsewhere that the thick goatskin that Aero used to offer no longer exists, so it's nice to see your modeling of the veg tanned goat. If you happen to know who still offers this please let me know, thanks!

My favorite would have to be my black Vicenza Aero Sheene. The feel, look, drape, and overall fit couldn't be improved on. Furthermore, the way in which the Sheene was received makes it particularly noteworthy in that Lydia and Ken Calder made a special effort to drive from their home to deliver the Sheene to me in Invergordon where our ship was docked in port last July. Ken and Lydia then took me to a special restaurant for lunch and wouldn't even allow me to buy lunch! The year prior to that I had the opportunity to meet Holly Calder in Austin, TX where Holly and several of her friends were attending a music event and I was attending the spring meeting of the Texas Medical Association. Holly had even been the one to take my order through e-mail several weeks prior to delivery. I can tell you emphatically all of the Calders I have met are incredibly nice, very special people! :cool:

I forgot to mention that the 1950's HB Ken was wearing was made by him, and was one of the stolen jackets found in Will Lauder's home. The corduroy pants worn by Ken that also impressed me is sold on the Aero website. I recall Ken telling me that he was very much into the vintage look but think his outfit would be in vogue no less today than a century ago.
