Please excuse the poor photos. I will make an effort after a few months of break-in to get some better shots.







It's very, very nice. I have nothing but kind words for the folks at Insurrection. Highly recommended.

I requested a particular tartan in Strome weight. Aero came back and said they had the tartan in Reiver weight and if I wanted something warmer I should get the tweed. I went with the tartan in Reiver. It's "Carnegie Modern" in case you were wondering. I'll see how warm it is and years from now may have it relined with tweed if necessary.

I'd asked for the coat to have the two points on the yoke, but it came with one point like on the Highwayman. I was disappointed at first, but upon reflection I think I actually prefer it. I think it looks cleaner.

The coat has a 3" cord hem. I did not ask for this as I understood Aero wasn't doing it anymore. I am glad it is there.

The fit is practically perfect. The arms are still maybe half an inch too long after three days of wear. I am counting on them to crease up a bit more.

The weather here has been *just* cool enough to justify wearing the jacket. I have been getting looks. Not sure if they are "wow, nice jacket" looks or "what is that doofus doing wearing that jacket in this weather" looks. I did actually have a complete stranger comment "nice jacket" as I passed him on the sidewalk today. That's a first.

Looks like a perfect fit. Really well done. I don't know how to could look better. Congrats sir!

Those sleeves will wrinkle a bit further, no doubt, but the fit looks A1 to me. That's a cracking tartan as well.

I hope my yet to be placed cafe racer order fits that good.

Based on your description and photos, the overall appearance and fit is outstanding.
