I don't know why do we even bother when Nick's gonna get one of these:
In all seriousness, I would happily own and wear any of these. Special occasion, obviously, but god they're great!

This is a fun thread. Thanks all. Still clueless. The only tangible progress made is the re-introduction of those hippie jackets in my mind. Boy, I need one of those. Aero still doing it? Last time I checked they were, but I felt like I was being a nag for inquiring about a defunct model!

Sorry, everyone wants to be funny. Seriously, a nice trim Sheene.

This would definitely be my vote. Car coat would be epic, especially from Himel or Freewheelers.Easy one for me; a car coat: eg Himel Canuck, Freewheelers Brakeman, Aero Premier Car Coat, or Whitefeather 30s Car Coat.
One is destined to be mine, and hoping to hear back from Fardin soon on a WF
Enjoy planning, Nick. That's like 85% of the fun for me

You might have some nice jackets, Nick, but do any of them have one of these:

I'd rule this out first. The HWM is a great jacket.... but it's not a hard one to get a good fit on, there are a lot of them around eve on the used market, and so it's not the same 'once in a lifetime' purchase as some other jackets might be. Which is not to do it down, I adore mine, but.... in your shoes, I'dbe looking something just a bit different. Unless, of course, you want to have the chance of buying an Aero direct from Gala, but stock (as they do keep 'em in...). That said, a special-order midnight blue HWM, pecially the 59er model, with a red lining..... oh, my.....
Keep seeking a deal on eBay...
Could be on something here. A really specc'ed out Hb is a thing of beauty. The Bootlegger in particular is something else: as 'wearable' with collar and tie or denim as the HB, but just that bit different than the herd....
Styls of which good, second hand examples can easily be found....
Definite contenders...
nah....
Again, not hard things to find anytime - I'd be looking for the 'different' here...
Possible: Mark does very nice work.
Slim chances! Could put it down in a savings account, thoug,h if you want to wait out the two years, and add to it over time....
Heretic! Burn him!
Heh. I suppose you can only ask. It's not on the website and I'd be surprised given that when I was there in 2014, I gathered that there's a nominal stoppage point in Ken's vision for Aero as 1960, style-wise. I heartily approve of this, myself.
Seriouly, though..... I think the question to ask yourself is not "which model" but to think about what 'role' you want the jacket to fulfill. Is it a statement piec,e or a riding jacket, or something you want to be able to wear any day, with anything, or.....

I recommend an Aero Mulligan in cxfqhh -Handsome,great character,and possibly all the jacket you will ever needSo long story short this is the first time in my adult life I don't owe taxes. I'm just as surprised as I am. Now, the immediate question is: what jacket to buy?
I know the answer is, "do what your heart fancies Nick", but I have no heart, and I like just about everything, so I ask the fine people on this forum.
Fire away!
Healthier than crack, right? Lol
Papa Nui is a name I haven't heard mentioned in these parts. I love the T shirts he's done for the San Fernando Valley Mercantile Co.

As all The Europeans on the Lounge will attest, you might be void of direct tax but your leather, if bought on our side of the pond, will attract an indirect tax known as Value Added Tax of 20%, (UK) and more or less the same across the continent. You could invest it wisely or..............

Barely lol. I just got a good contact at The Flat Head and my next jacket will be from them actually. I need a black one and of course that means black boots to go with my Lofgren and clinch engineers. My fiance and I are planning on a trip up the west coast ending in Canada and we know which boot maker lives there... plus I'm visiting the flat head factory next summer most likely so yeah... better than crack
