It's great to see photos of custom jackets on their new owners--that Board Racer with a D-pocket turned out really well! If you'd like to get started on a custom Aero order, give us a call to order a fit jacket for any of Aero's 70+ jacket styles!

I'm sure I just saw a guy wearing this jacket. Blue isn't a color of leather I'd consider going for, but he looked really cool!
But then he was slimmer than me.
And younger.
And much 'cooler'.

Yep, if you're young, slim and cool you could probably get away with a lime green one. By the way, I think the blue will work a lot better on a range of folk once it's broken in creased and scuffed up. At the moment it looks a little... stiff.

This jacket was done as an homage to the brightly colored cafe' racer jackets (and race suits) of 1960's Southern California...we've always been huge fans of this era and the new versions really do need some wear-and-tear to get the right look!

We're open today from 12pm-6pm if you'd like to come on by to browse our Aero, Vanson, Thedi and vintage jackets! Now is the perfect time to get fitted for a custom Aero and get into our February production batch...

I've REALLY been enjoying the tartan lining that Carrie put in my Aero 50's halfbelt this winter so far.
Jacket fits better & is less scratchy than the original alpaca. Seems to be just as warm too....

Tom,

That looks really good, both the tartan and the leather itself, great work by Carrie. So many people are used to wool being scratchy that they don't realize that top quality stuff is very smooth and comfortable.

Thanks guys! The lightweight wools from Lochcarron are very fine and soft compared to typical wool fabrics--great for almost year-round wear in some climates.

We're open today at the shop from 12pm-6pm...come on by to browse our large selection of leather jackets or get fitted for a custom Aero!
