Committing that to memory. That's an excellent choice for warmth and one I'd have never even thought of.

Hey Carrie, any chance you could post a shot comparing Aero's collarshapes?
(Regular vs. August vs. Speedway vs. Sea-biscuit) I would love to see them flat as it's hard to tell from the factory shots exactly what the differences are. Thanks

Spot the differences--here's a customized Aero Premier 1930s Half Belt with a few subtle custom details that make this build unique! The Tumbled Brown FQHH is gorgeous--lots of variation in grain and a rich color.

What a fantastic looking jacket. The navy looks incredible contrasting that spectacular looking brown!

Thanks Carrie! These are the best pics illustrating collar shape on Aero's HB lines that I have seen. Awesome!

 

[grabes]

I have so much to learn ,didn't know there were that many different collars.!

 

[handymike]

Thank you Carrie!
Is the Sea-biscuit just a large Speedway collar?

Wondering the same. Is the speedway shown?

 

[handymike]

No, that one isn't showing up.

Is the premier 30's collar available for the regular 30's jacket??

Aero isn't able to put the Premier collar on the standard 1930s neck hole...they don't match up. The closest you can get is the August collar, which really does look similar to the Premier!

We don't have any close-ups of the Speedway collar, but it looks very much like the Seabiscuit. There's a little bit of illusion with the Seabiscuit and the Speedway, since they been shaped to spread out more at the neck. The other collars sit more upright at the neck.

On a different note, here are a few photos we took this morning for a customer in order to compare the various brown Buffalo leathers from Thedi! These are veg-tanned hides that come with a good deal of grain and break in beautifully.

Another round of gratitude on my behalf for Carrie managing a custom cordovan CR order with Aero. I could not be more pleased with the end result.

Yeah, I need to put it on and take some fit pics. Tried it on last night then took it back off and spent the rest of the evening staring at the color changes as the sun set. Amazing color depth in this jacket. You've probably got the same experience with your midnight blue, right now.

Nothing seems to beat Cordovan and Midnight Blue cxl. Subtle shades with ongoing real life lighting differences.
Just spectacular color in a leather.

How thick are the Thedi buffalo hides?

I would estimate it to be around 2.75-3oz. It's a little heavier than Vicenza and a little lighter than CXL FQHH.
