AL Roadster. In Madrid International Airport waiting for follow-on flight.

I remember Madrid having a pretty big airport and having to really stride to get to the departure gate... Lovely city, though.

The Seal Jerky HH is a great colour. It is offset quite well by black. The trick, of course, is not to order any more jackets... One thing that is odd is the hand of the leather- it's very dry and dull (hence 'jerky, etc.), and, even though it seems sturdy enough, definitely feels 'light' and/or 'lesser' in contrast (in some hard-to-define way) to any of the other Aero horsehide jackets I've owned. This last factor has convinced me to keep the Stockman... I'm curious to see how the seal jerky develops, but now very pleased that I've still got the Stockman as a trimmer jacket.

Hi Brett
A BK?

 

[Brettafett]

Oh, apologies... Platon's version. I recon, identical to BK's... And both of these, as close to an original as you can get.
Platon sent me these comparison pics recently, between his original and one of the repros.

Battered Tan HH Teamster today.

Great colour on this one. I love the Aero button fronts.

Apologies for the inside the closet pics.. but this recent acquisition ticks off a lot of boxes for me, basically a new with tags unworn jacket.

Aero 1930’s Half Belt Brown CXL HH.

I’m not sure if this is from the premier range but the fit is nice and slim and squeezes me in all the right places. This one has rocketed straight to the top of my list.

I know, there is not much SB love here but the leather and workmanship itself is gorgeous: Simmons Bilt Lavant, Clayton vegan vintage brown HH, Harris tweed lining... Edit: openend an own thread incl. a review

^^Benny, you don’t know how right you are..
More of an omission than a lie..so when she asks me next fall if this is a new jacket , I can honestly say no, I’ve had it for a while..

I’ve used that line so many times. LOL

And here’s the thing: time is relative. So if I opened the box at noon and my wife sees it at 7 pm, I can still say I’ve had it “a while.” A while can be several hours, days, months....

My wife is no longer appeased by the "I've had it for a while" reply. She has caught on to my intentionally imprecise and indirect responses to her "is that new" query.

Continuing my European work trip. Last few days Brussels and next couple in Helsinki. Great jacket weather far removed from the heat of S. Florida.

Good to know that the response “I’ve had it a while” has a limited shelf life.
