@luigivmario Spring time is a coming. All that Nov and Dec rain, never seen the yard so green. Finally get some shade this year I hope.
I think this Ridley is @aeroleatherclothing @thurstonbros best pattern and #leatherjacket . Never seen anyone look bad in it. In fact, ups the cool factor for boring people like me

This customer fit photo is a great example of the slim silhouette of this style. We have Board Racers in stock and incoming, so if you are looking for your size, contact us and we'll help you find the right one--

Hi all, been a long, long time - years since I perused these exalted forums.

I am thinking of kicking the tires on a new jacket, and the lighter weight vicenza HH might be the right path given that I'm now 15 years older than when I bought my last Aero and my shoulders can't carry the weight of a FQHH for a full day like I used to. I love my Stockton and Highwayman made of FQHH but I'm physically unable to wear the Stockton for more than a few hours or my shoulders start to give out.

As such, not having to break in a FQHH jacket again would be preferable. If the Vicenza was not an option I might have gone with the rolled or pre-beaten up FQHH, or maybe even goat as the weight itself is an issue.

How much lighter is the vicenza compared to FQHH? And what color selection would be the closest to the standard brown of the chromo-excel? It is interesting that there is not a straight-up brown (russet, maybe?) that is the vicenza brown equivalent to brown.

Also would need to figure out what style I'd go with, since I prefer as "civilian" and simple a look as possible.

Any of the forum's real old-timers still around? Any major changes at Aero since 2009 or so I should be aware of?
