My new to me Aero A-1, formerly the brainchild of @dudewuttheheck and made by Greg Field when he was still with Aero.
Badalassi tobacco cowhide and olive knits and thread. I always loved Aero’s A-1 design even more so than the more accurate reproductions on the market today, so I’m pretty pleased with this so far to handle it in person. The leather is stunning and it’s such a good match for the olive knits and thread. It’s a bit squeaky, thinner than I had anticipated it would be (in a good way), and has beautiful depth to it. It doesn’t drape tremendously yet, but I imagine this will improve with time and wear as this jacket is virtually brand new.

This is a size 40 tag, but I’m a 42 normally. I do like the buttoned up fit better and plan to wear it like that mostly, but in time I think it will drape better once really broken in.
Overall, I think my larger shoulders and height make this fit work better for me than @dudewuttheheck and I am glad it eventually traveled down the line and ended up in my hands. Special thanks to @huy tran for the sale.
This fits better on you. I'm sure @dudewuttheheck got this jacket made with you in mind. Congratulations on a great pick up. Tobacco badalassi is so cool! Enjoy the squeaks!
