Yes, I would say this is pretty close to what I’d expect to see with @Marc mndt’s jacket.

...and he’ll be good to go out in the rain too.

A few shades darker and this jacket will look spectacular.

By the way, although this is a Polo Ralph Lauren jacket, quality is 10 times better than anything RRL I've handled. At 2kg it's pretty heavy too (for cowhide).

Damn. I think I finally found my jacket.

Gusset and V yoke look really good with the halfbelt.
But I wonder whether it looks good without the halfbelt, or whether the proportions no longer fit? Maybe it is too much?
I ordered a Sheene with v yoke, but without a kidney panel. And because of the gussets I'm thinking about it.
Maybe I should switch to the jacket "Tony" lol

Are you saying this is your 'exit jacket'?
LOL! I’ll sooner have a thick mane of hair resting on my shoulders.

Damn, that’s nice!!

Do you think the color comes across accurately? Looks superb! The big Q is now how it will develop.My midnight blue HWM is pretty much “pigeon grey” by now. I love it, but it’s nothing like when it was new.
I’d say in these pics it looks more blue than it does in person. I just see a green jacket when I take it out of the closet. It’s a blue/green but more green in my eyes.

It works perfectly without the HB too! I think 90% of my Aero orders have had the yoke and gussets, regardless of the Halfbelt or not. Just shapes the back really well. Getting a decent shot of the back is hard.

This one is amazing too!!!

Between your Cordovan and Tons Midnight Blue, my next Aero order is killing me inside.

I swear I’m gonna end up asking them do split it down the middle and give me half Cordovan half midnight blue

I actually really wonder how a Cordovan / Dark Blue two-tone jacket would work out? Say on a J-106 or King of the Road? Perhaps it would be really cool...

Wear it to shovel tomorrow morning . 9” of wet snow. The break in process will be complete.

Hope you all actually get that. Weather.gov has cut our forecast back to mostly rain, a little sleet, and then 1-4 " of snow. Oh well. we already have enough laying around here.

Thank you very much.
You had told me that before, I just wasn't sure whether that always referred to halfbelts or not ;)
Thanks.

You guys and your early grey-ing. If only I could be so lucky. I see the same barber as @ton312 haha. I mean he’s also a few years older than me and I have no clue when his started. But I had a full luxurious head of hair and at 23 it just started receding like crazy. By 25 it was thinning like crazy. By 27 I was buzzing or shaving my head. From 28 to now 34 I’ve done nothing but shave it every few days.

Man I was good until about maybe 5 years ago. I still have a decent amount of hair on top but it’s thin! When it gets to be around 1” or so my wife tells me it looks, and I quote “like a cobweb in the corner” and “see through/whispy”. 1/8 on top/ wet shave the sides and back, voila; bald fade. LOL
