Oh man... That's beautiful! Yeah, I'm definitely going with the BR collar for my CR.

Carrie, Can you tell me how slim the upper arms are for the Board Racer?

Carrie, Can you tell me how slim the upper arms are for the Board Racer?

It's about 10-15% slimmer than the equivalent in the standard Aero Cafe' Racer and has higher armholes. If you're looking for a very slim fit, the Board Racer is a great style!

The grain on that Black Italian Aero Board Racer is a knock-out! Here's an Aero Premier Highwayman that just came through in Seal Italian...

How does the premier highwayman fit in relation the the standard one? Do you still go down by 2 sizes, or one?

I really like the BR collar on my Sonoma Racer. To me it makes an enormous difference in the jacket.

The Premier Highwayman has the same sizing as the Premier Half Belt, so the fit is different from the standard Highwayman.

Maybe the new owner will post up some photos!

I agree, I didn't necessarily like the look of it on the website but in person, the BR collar looks much much better than the standard CR collar, it just has that bit more character.

Yep! I was never quite fond of Aero standard CR collar, so having Denny okay-ing the BR collar for the CR just today, made me really happy. I believe that much more people would prefer the BR collar as it's the type that's much more often seen on Cafe Racer jackets.

I think the next Aero I order might be this hide, perhaps a Sonoma cafe racer with BR collar, black, contrast stitching, hmmm ....

Just wanted to add this one to the Italian FQHH catalog...Aero Plainsman in Dark Seal Vicenza FQHH!

 

[Sockeye]

Do you send out fit jackets in the Vincenza leather?

Do you send out fit jackets in the Vincenza leather?

Most of our fit jackets are Chromexcel Steerhide or FQHH...we do have a few fit jackets in Vicenza and we'll ship them out if a customer is being fitted for that particular style of jacket!

 

[Carrie @ Thurston Bros.]

Here's a custom Aero 1920s Work Coat that just came through in the latest batch of Dark Seal Italian veg-tanned FQHH...this Dark Seal color is slightly lighter than the last batch of Dark Seal, so it's easier to show the rich dark brown color in photos! If you'd like to get fitted for a custom Aero in Italian horsehide, just contact us to reserve a fit jacket for your order...

Looks fantastic, you must be pretty excited. Stitching and the hide are beautiful.
