Whoa! Nice work. So Thurston Bros. Can do repairs and updates like that to Aero jackets? That is a GOOD thing to know. Thanks for posting.

Carrie did a GREAT job replacing the zipper & swapping out the alpaca lining for a tartan lining.
I went with Ancient McKenzie since I have ancestors that trace back to that clan & a few friends with that last name.
The jacket fits better & feels lighter. LOOKS great. Excellent job cleaning up a novice zipper job by local leather repair, Carrie.
MANY thanks.

Yep, & I forgot to mention that Carrie removed the storm cuffs inside the sleeves as well.
Her work on matching the stitch holes on the front for the zipper replacement is masterful.
I buy handcrafted holsters, spur straps, belts, saddles, etc. & look for the attention to detail.
She nailed it! She also used some creativity to restore the inside stitching to more OEM style.
Can't wait for cooler temps to wear it but August is coming....

Oh that plainsman is nice!
Just a quick question. Is that how insurrections version are ordered as standard? The stock Aero on their page doesn't have the action back or the wrist straps.

My Vanson Model B arrived today; this is one stiff jacket! Tough as nails and such a luscious smell.. It weighs 3.4kg outweighing my Schott but it is not as heavy as my Langlitz. Here are some comparison pics; please forgive the crappy iPad front cam photo quality. I will be sure to post a better picture (one that can be displayed on the Thurston Bros. Gallery with honor) once the jacket has seen some wear.

Schott 641HH, size 36, after 10 months of wear:

Thank you, Carrie, for one lovely jacket. Can't wait to see how it breaks in :)

Both jackets look great. The Schott fits you perfectly. Do you have the quilted lining version? How shiny it is after all that wear? Mine is still quite shiny for my taste.
