Woke up to 50s and drizzle this morning and couldn't have been happier:

Two weeks not wearing this have done very little to help breaking the leather in. Seems stiffer than when I unboxed it.

Cooler today, so back to work.

Not possible to get the colour across properly with my iPhone camera. Such a marvellous hide though. @ton312: Thanks for speccing that. This is so cool...!

Beautiful jacket. Those Horween waxes and greases will harden for ages. My Plainsman and J106 still stand on their own. 20 minutes of human heat softens them nicely.

I'm beginning to think a cherry cxhh Highwayman or Dustbowl might figure in one of my future timelines...

Just gorgeous. I once said that staring at marbled brown FQHH was the equivalent of staring into the moving water of a pool. Yours is reminiscent of an actual blue-water pool.

Definitely not what I'm wearing now but lol, just found a selfie of my first Aero ever. This was... 8 or 9 freaking years ago. This jacket was the stiffest leather jacket I've ever seen. I think this one could've stopped a .22 LR.

Nice - has it softened up since then? Would be neat to see what its like now.
