50’s era suede HB. Thankfully the sellers measurements were entirely off and in my favor.

Thank you, the flannel is from UESThe depth of colour on the jacket is fantastic. Also like the shirt, where is it from?
yours is at the balance state between new and faded, I think it looks best. I did wear my denim jacket under leather jacket for some time when I thought they look boring, perhaps that what contributed to the sleeve fading on my type 3 but I found the cuff button and perhaps also the seam construction of the denim jacket sleeve was too harsh for my jacket liner material, perhaps I can try to wear it under another denim jacket@navetsea , keep in mind that I wore it on a bicycle as an underlayer Jan-April in NY in mostly cold temperatures, pretty much every day for about 90 minutes - my regular bike rides. It worked great because the thick denim blocked the wind very well. Wearing it under a shell jacket provided the denim with a bit of abrasion, accelerating the fades. I saw that trick in some online fade competition - a guy wore a denim jacket as an underlayer for a whole year while doing manual work and got the most beautiful fades I ever saw. I am very impatient, cannot wait a whole year, and also don't want to wear the same jacket for 8 hours/day, so I used the jacket for biking. I like the result. I intensely dislike brand new denim and wanted to "personalize" the jacket asap.
The jacket fits too well to give it to other handsGlad I decided to keep this one after all.

Years ago, I believe there was a dust up at aero when some HH CXL Jackets were actually made with steerhide and/or a combo of both. I believe apologies were made...I’ve also never heard of Aero making the jacket in the wrong leather. If they did such a thing, I’d imagine it ends up in the sale section, with the jacket remade in the correct hide.

actually why don't we combine several different leathers into one jacket? strong hide on the outer side of the sleeve, softer hide on the inner side, firmer leather on the front and back panel, softer leather on the side panel, maybe extra thick leather for the belt and patch pockets, if the tanning method is similar and the color is standard wouldn't it become a versatile jacket
Thanks. Yeah, it's steer and from June 2021. Can't go wrong with this leather! CXL is the king!Looks awesome! How long have you had the jacket? CXL steer? Now they charge 200gbp extra for this leather, mainly because they are discontinuing it I heard. Received a sample of it - blown away even by the sample. So awesome to see it on a well worn jacket!
