Absolutely beautiful Nick!
You have had some great successes off the Thurston Brothers stock page over the years but I think this eclipses them all. Please hold onto this one, it suits you very well and I would love to see how it ages over time.

You know, it just makes me feel good inside to see one of my jackets being worn all the way over on the other side of the world. From my hands and sewing machine in Minneapolis to you in Australia.

Congrats, Nick. Beautiful jacket - that design always reminds me of the stage at Radio City Music Hall. Does the cream age in the same way as the natural?
Hey @Tom71 thanks! Sincerely. After seeing all the great LW black Horsehide MC jackets posted recently, I was stoked to get my Rigger. Totally thrilled with the jacket, the buying experience was a breeze (3 or 4 e-mails to Stu) and now, best of all, the upcoming break-in process! Couldn’t be happier!
Your most welcome, Thor. This is really YOUR jacket. I concur with your experience in dealing with Stu. He was an absolute pleasure and a total pro.
Hooch Hauler on my way home from the post office. Aeromarine is shipped to its new owner. Raising funds and closet space for an Aero trucker. Other jackets will have to go as well, haven’t really decided which ones yet. Keep an eye on the classifieds if you’re a size 40ish
Saw it once again on the TB vicenza thread, and it really stands out. A one of a kind fantastic jacket.
great fit on this one!

I hope you’re not planning on selling the HH!

Great fit, once again. Looks really good.
And dibs natural Dustbowl. One of my very favorite jackets on the forum, and even in my size
The Hooch Hauler is staying, that’s for sure at least.

The Dustbowl is my wife’s favourite, but I’m not sure what to keep and what not. I don’t know if I can part with it but nothing’s impossible at this point. I got the madness for an aero trucker.
What leather for the trucker?
Haven’t decided for sure, but I’m leaning towards their natural Italian horsehide (not Vicenza). I’ve loved natural leather for several years now. I’ve made several belts, bags and briefcases out of it. And it just feels like it’s high time I had a jacket made with natural leather. I think it would look good on a trucker too.
I agree. A popular trucker (aside from denim) is made from a tan-colored cotton duck fabric (think Carhartt duck), waxed or not, so natural HH should work very well.

I sold an Aero CR, a LHB, gave a SB to a buddy who wouldn't be able to afford one and sold another Aero to a friend who liked the look of it (it wasn't a great fit on me). It seems difficult, but a) I didn't miss them, b) I got to wear the Aeros I kept more (and appreciated them more) and c) I felt better. I'm trying to sell a Stockman and will probably sell the Goat HB at some point, too (unless I can get Aero to stick an external chest pocket on it). If I could, I'd just be left with a couple that I wear most often. I found that I started wearing other, non-leather jackets more often as well, which was a good thing.
I posted a pic in another thread Johnson Leather has one veg tan horse 3 oz i think size 40 and 42 in stock prlly could do a good price. I am looking at one of those (Maybe i should not tell you as you snagged that aero 59er I was watching...) now after your post. It is on their IG page second pic me thinks. I had an aero type iii I think one of the last ones with hand warmer pockets in seal brown vic. Was a 40 and too trim when I added some length the waist was like 19. I am back to liking shorter jackets again lol.
