I know it's a vegetable tanned leather and I THINK it's sourced & made in the UK but I could be off on that one. I'm really not sure why don't they advertise it more, it's a stunningly beautiful hide. Pics don't do it justice like at all. My next Aero will be Jerky, whatever the style.
Lucky you I wanted my jacket to be made from this hide as well but he told me the the remaining hide had already been spoken for.
Was chatting with Ken the other day about grain, vintage hides etc.
Here’s a jerky A-2 he’s building now. Looks pretty darn good to me. Very reminiscent of 50’s era worn horse.

Damn man that is cool!! Where did you get that pic? That’s a “stock” model? I like that A LOT!
Yep, now that you say this I remember my jacket (October ‘19) was supposedly made out of the new stuff, which I was told was made to show wear faster. It’s a nice HH and I personally prefer it to CXL. Not lightweight at all but super easy wearing. I just can’t see how it can be vegetable tanned as it displays very different properties. Maybe the older version was.
Yup. Saw that. Went right to the gram with questions. That’s a really nice HB!
I think JL has the weirdest customers compare with other maker (asking funky design, unusual color combination, or request unusually heavy leather etc.....), it shows JL's capability to done any project customer wants.
All these info makes one recently addicted to leather jacket makes one think of getting another one for the future.
Gotta hand it to the TFL, you did it again for me
