That Hudson looks like a perfect fit.

I'll say-- gorgeous color too! It suits you well, Andy.

Carrie,

I'll try to remember to stop by the shop so you can see how the Hudson is breaking in. I still love the jacket and thanks again for all your help.

Andy

That would be awesome! And the way the Seattle "summer" is going, you'll probably still be wearing it


Here's another great customer photo of a longer Aero jacket style--the Barnstormer!

Carrie, do you also carry Aero & Vanson styles not shown on your website? In particular the Aero Sheene, Aero A-2 38-1711-P & Vanson Stallion?

Yes, we sell every style of jacket that Aero and Vanson make.

Our shop was the shop that named the Aero Sheene the Sheene, and Aero's 1938 A-2 and the Vanson Stallion are jackets that we sell quite regularly.

Please give us a call if you'd like to pick anything up...I know that we currently have Aero Sheene jackets in front quarter horsehide in stock!

I will definitely have to pay your shop a visit sometime. By the looks of it, me and my family are visiting the States for the 3rd time next Summer so I will be sure to drop by then, walking out with a 3 jacket minimum

Do you, by any chance, carry vintage Harley Davidson jackets in their classic Cruiser style?

We have in the past, but they never sold well because these jackets were very short in body length (and often in arm length as well) compared to how most people like to wear jackets today...that's why the repros of this style (like the Aero J107 and J106) sell so well because these lengths can be specified for each customer!

Here's an Aero J107 in Black C/X FQHH...

I actually mean this style: http://www.orangedove.net/images/ims-1/1546_hdm775.jpg It's sold today as the "Classic Cruiser jacket". Sadly, current HD merchandise is all made in third world countries and their quality is very poor.. I was hoping you maybe carried a similar style, but only vintage US-made.

The Vanson Stallion is the closest. We can put all of the Harley logos on too! Sometimes people put their name or motorcycle club on the jacket as well...

I actually like it better without the patches, a small Harley Logo (the one with the wings) on the left breast would look very cool, though.. I was asking for a friend of mine, he's crazy about the Harley Cruiser jacket.

The Aero 1930s Slimfit Half Belt is hard to beat in brown Chromexcel FQHH! A popular variation on the classic half belt is the Aero Sunburst...you can see more details about this style on our website: http://www.thurston-bros.com/#!aero-sunburst/c8rt

Does anyone own a jacket made of Vanson's Competition Weight leather? Is it too heavy for casual wear?

I've 2, both "Ike's". One in black and one in octagon. I don't find them too heavy for casual wear in the fall and spring BUT I'm a big guy. Other's might find it too heavy. I don't but I find Aero's FQHH way too heavy for casual wear for me.

I have a Vanson Enfield in competition steerhide that I wear practically everywhere during colder days. It is heavy leather...but not unbearably so by any means. One of my favorite leather jackets.

Thanks gents! I'd love to see some more broken-in pics of this nice leather!
