Amazing custom Aero Dustbowl in Cordovan CXL FQHH!

I just LOVE that cordovan color, even more than Aero's brown. Other than the zippered sleeves, in place of the button sleeves, what other modifications does the jacket have, Carrie?

And is what color is that contrast stitching? One last question ... any shots of the lining? Anything special there??

 

[mendelboaz]

What a BEAUTY!!! Makes me want to get a Dustbowl myself, in Cordovan... That contrast stitching is just amazing!

Gorgeous, isn't it? I'm hoping my Board Track Racer will look similar. The DB's an incredibly flexible jacket, I wear mine to work most days of the week, but matches a pair of jeans as well.

Carrie, those enabling jacket pictures are killing me...! Love that new background, somehow trees and leather jackets go hand-in-hand.

Aero Board Racer in Black CXL Front Quarter Horsehide--

 

[mendelboaz]

Carrie, how tightfitting is the J106 at the waist? Does it have a very pronounced V-shape, like the Schott 641HH? I generally like my jackets to fit very tight at the waist and do not mind a looser fit in the chest area. With a 42" chest and 31" waist I'm thinking of going with a 40 tapered to a 38, if this is advisable in this style as it's already supposed to be a very slim jacket. Also, does the J106 you stock come with a tweed or regular cotton drill lining as standard?

Hi mendelboaz,

The Aero J106 fit is a somewhat straighter cut compared to, for example, Aero's Motorcycle Jacket. We often have customers specify the J106 (and J107) with a little extra room around the waist, but on average it seems to fit most customers pretty well in the standard cut. Jackets like Aero's Indian Ranger, Motorcycle Jacket, and Route 66 "nip in" for the pronounced "V". There's also Aero's CHIPS, which has the traditional adjustable laces on the sides to create the shape you want! We generally stock the J106 and J107 with black cotton drill, but the Minto Check Tweed is an excellent choice as well...


Here's the Vanson Colorado Deluxe with snap-off mouton fur collar...laces at the side give the waist about 4 inches of adjustment!

Hi Carrie, the Vanson Colorado and Aero jackets you mentioned are all absolutely stunning jackets, but the styling of the J106 (mainly but not limited to the D-pocket) and the fact that it's a Buco replica really disable me to long for another MC jacket. Could the J106 be made to fit my needs, in other words a 40 tapered to a 38?

Absolutely! We do that for a lot of our customers!

I am looking at an Aero Cafe Racer in the heavy steerhide. I need a 19.5-20" shoulder and 24" chest (pit to pit). I like a slimmer fit, no need for heavy layering (always worn on a t-shirt or button up). Do I go for a 42 or 44?

 

[Surferbruce]

Hi Carrie
Any news on when you might offer the PCL cafe racers in brown?
Thanks

These are the exact measurements of the 42! However, we always recommend getting a fit jacket with your order to make sure that this particular model works with those measurements as well...

We can't find a good brown and it's frustrating us to no end! Have you thought of going with a Vanson Model B in Octagon? I think we have on in stock in your size...

 

[Surferbruce]

The Octagon is amazing looking...taken under advisement!
