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.

Yes, isn’t it?! LL sheepskin is such a treat! And your jacket just looks awesome!

Cool!

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 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 jacket:D

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

Thanks! I actually really like the shoulder pads. They add a great feel to the jacket imo

Looking awesome. Nicest sheepskin I've ever handled.

Thanks for this Marc, it is really nice. Have never had a sheepskin jacket before but it feels more solid and stiffer than I imagined. It certainly has interesting grain and character.
