Vacuum and clean house in monster jacket
Most of my steer Aero's in the past have quickly yielded in the sleeves and shoulders. Not happening with this sucker. This is hulk hide. I can't even imagine how the beast who sported this skin was felled. Had to be with a nuclear device. I'm also pretty sure Greg, who sewed this together could bend railroad spikes with one hand.

I'd like to high five @Radz108 whose own spectacular Cordo HB inspired me to pursue one of my own!

Are you staring out the window for brown truck or playing it cool, and staring out the window.

 

[Bfd70]

The former. But, it has allowed me to develope the mathmatical breakthrough of the century. The speed of the brown truck is inverse to the minutes spent looking out the window to the 5th power.
I had my jacket shipped to work so i’d be sure to snag it. Out for delivery at 9:15. Ups typically arrives here at 1:00. I am now officially 60 seconds of the clock...still staring out the window.

He’s here!
I hope he likes hugs

Can't wait to see it man. It's raining Aero HB's up in this joint!

Caution! Long and rambling post (that includes metaphor) with no follow up fit picks.
It’s Friday. A new jacket was on the truck out for delivery. Work productivity, as to be expected given the frequent trips to the window, was slightly sub par. Admittedly i spent a few minutes on TFL getting caught up and enjoying the pics. Ton312s new half belt reminded me of when your friend has a super good looking new girlfriend, and your really happy for your friend, but keep stealing glances and occasionally leering. Maybe you show off a little and try to make her laugh...”I wansn’t flirting with your girlfriend, I was just being friendly!”
Ups showed up right as I was leaving. I opened the box, threw on the jacket, got in the car with the AC on and headed home.
Strangely, my thoughts were not about my new 1/2 belt, but what George Clooney’s (sorry, that is probably really dated but i don’t know which guy the ladies cuurently like) love life is like. Bare with me, this is meandering. What if you could more or less date any woman that you wanted. All different shapes and sizes and colors. Practical or flashy. Simple or complicated. Sometimes the jacket (or watches, or motorcycles, etc) game seems the same. How do you pick just one? I know most people here are jacket gigolos. I like my new half belt. It checks a lot of boxes. At first glance do I think it will be the love of my life...no, but love is funny ain’t it.
I have some initial impressions that i want to share , but for now, i’m headed out the door (sadly sans jacket, too hot) with the REAL love of my life for Thai food and a magic show uptown. I’m gonna wear it in the house tomorrow morning while i drink my coffee and when my 12 year old photographer rolls outta bed get some fit pics up. Have a good evening all and thanks for the inspiration.

Sounds like a mixed bag...
Enjoy your night out!
...but... my advice is "don't wear it if you don't love it!"
Send it right back while you can.

Need pics. I can wait. Remember the HB isn't the most bling, ostentatious, rock star on steroids, lingerie model dating jacket. It's a daily driver. One you wear everyday and hang up when you want the former! You've got a couple lingerie models in the closet. BUT.... Do you have a nice girl who likes to read?!?! I'm sorry this horribly chauvistic. But you get my point.

Oh, right, I remember those days... Except that she wasn't my friends super good looking new girlfriend but my dads new super good looking new girlfriend. Whole 2 years older than me. I was 25 at the time... I wonder where she is right now?

In any case, there's space for more than one jacket in a wardrobe. And let's see that jacket!

Damn. Quite the build up. Love it.....

I think even Luke Cage would have trouble breaking in that beast!!

Maybe this is the only answer?!

LOL. Seriously man. It's certainly not the easiest jacket to wear but I do suspect it'll be the one I wear the most. I think I'll grab this one everyday and wear it to work! Doesn't really scream anything in particular, not overly biker or anything else.

In complete contrast to our resident Power Man (@ton312) I’ve gone for the much lighter thinner leather today.

Both are pretty much spot on. Yes, this is the “girl who likes to read” maybe you don’t notice her.

I’ve contracted the illness. The only cure is a strong closet bar.
