Show your natural leather

[Sloan1874]

I nailed down the details For my Wayfarer at Aero yesterday. Ken showed me the fantastic ‘raw’ Italian leather they now have - much paler than the Vicenza, with a more pronounced grain. It’s going to be an adventure wearing this one but it’ll have real potential for it developing a really unique character.

Ooooooh, man I've been waiting for Aero to have something more raw/naked in terms of natural leather. I might have to order another jacket!

I should be getting it in the next few weeks, twinned with a black lining for contrast, so expect extended thread and pics.

A two-tone grizzly with raw Italian leather and Irvin light brown sheepskin contrast would look pretty stylish, just saying...

Blimey, that's a concept.

Is this like the “natural” Italian hide?

This stuff is a lighter than the Vicenza by a magnitude of 25 per cent. It doesn't have a top coat either, so it'll 'tan' and take on a unique character - they go a golden honey colour. I've seen a few jackets made from it for Epaulet in, and the effect is amazing, though obviously being in Glasgow it's going to wee while longer to get enough sun to get it going...

Did they send you any pictures or a sample that you have pictures of? It sounds quite lovely and I would like to see it.

This is the jacket I received directly from Ken at Aero. Magnificent hide. Feels like leather, were leather made of butter.
You will love your new jacket. Congratulations. I am looking for sunny days now.

It's this hide, right?

I love the result.

Exactly. I made certain with Ken that was the leather. Brilliant.

It’s amazing stuff. I’ll stick up a thread to it in the next day or so.

This is some changes happened to my wallet since i bought and wearing it since 2019, most visible is the shape following a tight fitting back pocket and from wearing it while the pants is wet until dry to jam the wallet into the pocket everytime crushes the top area. Belt clip has more naturally aging from wear sun and handling.

The way it ages is pretty cool. Please keep the photos coming as it continues to change!

Thought about doing this, but to be honest a 60 watt bulb has more heat and strength than the Scottish sun at the moment.
