Wow! Awesome lining! Carrie did a fantastic job on that

 

[jlanderson]

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....

Thanks guys--these jackets were made to last and gtdean's Aero has developed a beautiful color and wear pattern that it typical of the CXL leather!

Here's an Aero Long Half Belt in brown CXL steerhide that will be even more beautiful in a few years of wear...

Is that an LHB with Half Belt Deluxe pockets?

 

[Deleted member 16736]

Carrie, do you have pictures of any finished jackets in your new Italian horsehide yet? Thanks.

 

[mendelboaz]

I think it's a regular Half Belt Deluxe, the same pic was posted on Facebook as a Half Belt Deluxe. Could be just an error

 

[Sloan1874]

Thought so.

Half Belt Deluxe...great looking jacket!

We have some jackets in Italian Horsehide on their way...the first box is stuck in US Customs, so everything's taking far longer than we anticipated. However, hopefully we'll have photos up soon!

Hi Carrie, Have any Plainsman jackets turned up yet? Would love to see a picture.

This Aero Plainsman is a great looking jacket...the slimmer profile makes the jacket great for wearing open!

Aero Plainsman in CXL Cordovan Steerhide!

[ProteinNerd]

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.

This is a Plainsman front with an August back and Sunburst cuffs...looks nice!

Very nice indeed. Love the straps on the cuffs.

 

[morrison2951]

Beautiful! Cordovan for the win!

Now, that is an Urban Adventurer's Jacket!

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.


Vanson Model B, size 38, out of the box:

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.
