IF there ever was a right jacket for the right guy. This looks so great on you!
Thank you very much. I like all my jackets, but this one is something special. Wearing this one is a pleasure every time. Since I got it, I'm sure I've worn it around 8 hours every day. Lol.IF there ever was a right jacket for the right guy. This looks so great on you!

Mr. Old Fashion
I agree! This jacket has me at a strange place. Was given to me free, unannounced…just appeared at my door, compliments of an incredibly generous member here. The strange place is that I haven’t even looked at the jacket I dropped a grand on since I opened this vintage gem. Not that it matters. Moral of the story is that this is a great community and I am blessed to be a part of it. Good deeds are contagious, and I feel compelled to pass that along. So I will do so very soon. But it for damn sure won’t be this jacketCool!
Certain jackets just beg to be styled in a throwback way, I think.
I just received from @Rosecitymike his (now mine) Aero Highwayman in Connolly Steerhide (this one also formerly belonged to @Monitor).
I found it looks best when worn with clothes that also give off a '50s vibe. For me, it works with some higher-rise chinos and black pebble-grained vintage Nettletons USA longwing shoes. I really like that look for this particular jacket, even though I generally prefer to wear selvedge jeans and boots with my leather jackets.
I don't have a pic of this combo yet, but will get the GF to take one so I can post here.
I need to check the labelWow-wee-woo-wah! Where's that one from?

Great. Congratulations.
The Monza would also interest me. Maybe without shoulder pads in brown or black.

Me too. But I think the Monza with pads would then be too similar to my Racing Jacket. Therefore, the consideration.I actually really like the shoulder pads.
