Hi, first time poster. I bought this 1950's Aero Hercules direct from Aero's 'USED' section. It's a mid weight Alaskan steerhide made by Julie Leitch. I asked Holly at Aero if she knew when it was made and she said that,based on the leather used, it could be 90's but sh couldn't be sure. It's in amazing condition.

Beautiful jacket and fit!

Cheers, I'd been viewing the jacket on the Aero site for quite a few months. I loved the style but didn't have the funds at that time. From the measurements I had a fairly good idea that it would be quite a good fit so I was chuffed to bits when I finally got it & it fit so well. I don't think I could have got a much better fit if I'd had it custom made!

Trying on my new Hooch-Hauler that I bought off of Aero’s sale page. Just got it delivered today. Never tried a Vicenza before but it feels very nice. Similar in weight to the goat that aero uses but stiffer. The color is seal brown.

I’m very much looking forward to wearing this in. First pic has the most accurate color, the other two are a lot lighter (I’m not that good with the camera, sorry)

It’s funny isn’t it? Three custom made jackets from Aero and this one from the sales page is without a doubt the best fitting jacket. I feel like this is it. This is the only jacket I should hold on to. I don’t know how I’ll motivate ever wearing another jacket now that I have this.

That fits as if you were born in it and it's evolved perfectly to fit your frame. Literally can't be improved upon. You are on the mountain top. Send these photos to Aero and they will sell 30k hooch haulers this year alone!

That looks great! But when I read Hooch Hauler I scrolled down expecting to see buttons. What jacket am I thinking of?

The Hooch-Hauler hasn’t been officially launched yet. This was a pattern test jacket that was up on their sale page. Measurements looked spot on so I went for it. VERY happy that I did!

I think it's perfect but I'm too distracted by the fingernail. I mean, it goes well with the jacket and all but... Why just one? XD
