What color thread would you recommend to contrast with cordovan FQHH? Anybody have a cordovan they've tried this with? I'm kind of feeling like Butte regarding the contrast stitching.

What color tartans go best with cordovan? I've tried using the Locharron site but some of the jackets members have posted look great with their tartan choices and then when I compare to the swatches at Locharron's website I can't picture how it came together the way it did. I like the weathered grant you use on your website. The only cordovan Aero I've seen in the wild had this same tartan.

Don't know about the contrast stitching, but I'd say that Grant Weathered is ideal for cordovan. The different colours complement it perfectly.

I have it in two cordovans and didn't feel I could improve after the first

I had a different tartan in an earlier cordovan I sold on (not one of my current two), but am much happier with the Grant Weathered.

I'm not going to get another jacket without contrasting stitching. It makes it IMHO. Killer jacket.

They look great! We have a few Aeromarine jackets with contrasting stitching coming in late next week!

I think the Maxwell would look awesome in Black FQHH with grey contrast stitching.

Definitely!!!, but tan contrasting stitching would probably work best...

OD Green or light tan contrasting stitching would work best with cordovan. We can help you pick a great tartan (we've seen some INCREDIBLE tartans with cordovan!).

We still have 7 July production slots available for custom Aero jackets. Don't get caught in the August / September rush for your custom Aero!

Jacket looks great Jeff! The fit came out spot-on and beautiful blue goatskin that changes dramatically depending on the light...superb lighter weight jacket for Spring and Summer!!!

I think the Aeromarine would be great in this leather, shawl collars scream dark blue to me.

Is there a similar dark blue color that could be had in cow or horse that could be used for a cafe racer?
