Battered Tan FQHH has grown in popularity in the past year! Customers love the incredible grain that shows up on a brand new jacket--no break-in required! You can see all the custom options for Aero orders on our Custom Aero page--https://www.thurston-bros.com/pages/custom-aero

Here's a custom Aero Highwayman that has a new home in Florida--

The Battered Tan FQHH is now my favorite hide finish for sure. It's looking like I must get a jacket in that hide. Now just must choose the style. Another Bootlegger ( probably not although I love to wear the one I have )...Sheene...Teamster? This is a tough one since I'd probably want to wear a jacket in that hide often.
I already own a brown FQHH HwyMn...Black FQHH Stuart...Antique tan steer '30s HB...Brown FQHH zip sleeve Bootlegger. What style in this hide would you recommend Carrie..??

A Battered Tan Teamster or a Maxwell would round out the variety of styles you already have! The Sheene is a good one as well, but it is pretty similar to the Highwayman. We're slowly collecting photos that show this leather in a lot of different styles and it seems to work with just about anything!

Carrie..Thanks! I've decided on the Battered Tan FQHH teamster with herringbone tweed lining . Size 40 with 26 1/4 " sleeves. Wonder what the standard length of the jacket in a 40 is..??

Are those battered tan horse hides from Horween too?

My size 38 Teamster had a 27.5 inch backlength, another members size 38 Teamster had 28" backlength. So I guess a size 40 also has around 28" backlength or insignificantly more.. The style runs large btw, I am 5'9", 180 lbs, 40" chest and the size 38 Teamter with 23" pit to pit was a perfect fit.

If memory serves, the battered tan is not a Horween leather. It's tanned in Europe.

@carrie, which jacket is the button -up (picture Number 1?) I love the slanted pockets especially the top...

The standard back length on a size 40 is 28.5 inches. However, you can choose your lengths and we see a range from 28 inches up to 31 inches for the size 40. Shoot an email to sales@thurston-bros.com and we'll get you started!

We'll need to verify this...we were certain it was a Horween product, but now I'm second-guessing !

That's a Maxwell with a slanted chest pocket (standard is horizontal)!

I most certainly could be wrong. For some reason I feel I remember it coming from Europe but please do set the record straight!

From another thread:

Battered horse is completely different. It is European mid weight horse , the same base as our Mid Weight Jerky and has been finished with a natural parafin wax top coat. The leather has a waxy feel to it and a very strong pull up.

The best thing would be to contact us for samples of both to compare . denny@aeroleatherclothing.com

Well done! I knew I read it somewhere!

I love my battered tan teamster! Heavy hide, but not as stiff as cxl. Really cool battered effect is so unique.
I got a custom highwayman in 38 for a very custom look, which I love, but my teamster is a 40 with a touch more body for layering and more of a winter jacket use.
My combo of dark seal vicenza highwayman and battered tan teamster is perfect duo...Now maybe a hercules in red fox to finish the trio!!

Custom Aero Two-Tone Long Half Belt in Black and Dark Seal Vicenza...beautiful winter look with the red quilted lining!

Custom Aero Teamster in Battered Seal FQHH with an amazing Harris Tweed lining! The Battered Seal is a more subtle look compared to its dramatic cousin, the Battered Tan FQHH. However, Battered Seal has a good deal of grain that will increase will just a little wear!

Insanely grainy Battered Seal Horsehide close-up photo from Aero's IG! This really shows how the treatment on the leather's texture highlights every detail on the surface.
