That's super nice, does it fit?

Yes. Perfectly. Longer than most vintage jackets too, for you taller gents.

Man old school HH fidelity?!?? Wow!! That’s an insanely rare jacket and I’ve never ever seen one that clean.
I hate you.

I definitely paid for it my man. I had one in steerhide and passed it on. The fit kinda stuck with me, even though I got rid of it because eventually I had to cinch the belt too much and it ballooned a bit. This one has the perfect taper for me. It better hugs my torso, almost like a CR. Interestingly, this one is tagged a 44 while the Steerhide was a 42.

I’ve seen a few of these HH versions over the years but never even close to this clean. They are usually, literally, falling apart at the seams, liner torn and faded to pink. Yours looks like it came back with Doc and Marty Mcfly. Insane.

Thanks. I calculated using her thumb as reference lol. I did.

I'm getting better but too many folks here have PhDs in vintage leather.

So what is the actual P2P on this Fidelity?

 

[TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead]

a little more looser fit than usual even after some dryer shrinkage, but got some bases covered for different scenarios. Going to play with the wavy zipper some, but i kind of like it on some jackets.

1960's Schott CR just came in. I like it. A little wear on it, but the price was good. All zippers original, someone cut off the hated wind flap which I don't really mind. I may take scissors to it and trim off the remainder because the previous owner just crudely chopped it off, lol. I like how the cuffs zip tightly around the wrists.

Not much left to hope for so let's just wait it out vibes.

I'm surprised Aero can put that red tab on the breast pocket without getting sued into oblivion by Levi's

I think they're buddies, Aero making jackets for Levi's and all so it's okay.

I think you’re right. I know they have done “official” runs with Levi’s/LVC. So because of that I think they are “allowed” to do their jackets.

And I’m wearing these too..
