What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[AerGuitar]

I received my first Aero jacket yesterday.

I've been searching for the right one for well over a year and even tried on new halfbelts in Tokyo in February. It seemed like the really attractive ones were always too pricey for me... until this one came open on eBay for an affordable BIN.

I scooped it up almost immediately and could not be happier with the purchase.

I must admit I was not convinced about CXL horsehide but this jacket has made a believer out of me.

Nice! They stock Aero jackets in the Flat Head store in Osaka. What size is that? I usually wear a 38 (like you, I believe), but 36 was a good fit for me in the Aero Halfbelt.

Thanks!

Thanks Will. I almost let it go by just because of price but I woke up in the middle of the night in a sweat thinking someone else got it. When that happens it's time to buy...

Yes this is a 38 but the shoulders seem a little small compared to the stock 38s I tried in Tokyo. It has an inside pocket and an upgraded liner so it wouldn't surprise me if it's a custom tailor as well.

Have you gone to Osaka to try them on?

Yes, that’s how I know I’m a 36. Etsuko loved it, so who knows? There may be one in my future.

Got a birthday coming up?

Now that I've got a used Aero, I am definitely in the market for a new one. But it might be a long wait since I also want a Buco and bespoke Lost Worlds. :O

Just gone. Got my first pair of cowboy boots. The jacket, if purchased new, will be some way off, and will require me to save some of my pocket money.

Correction to my last post. Not the Flat Head, but the D’Artisan shop was where they had Aero jackets. For anyone visiting Osaka, I don’t know if she speaks English, but the boss in that shop was fantastic. Very bubbly, friendly, and knowledgeable . When she saw I knew Aero jackets, she went out the back to get their special horsehide one for me to try on (on the condition that I didn’t bend my arms!).

I knew there was some association in my brain between you and a birthday. I remember the recent cowboy boots post. Happy birthday Gary!

The stock Aero halfbelts on sale in Ueno were 218,00 yen. That's a lot of pocket money! You can probably find a good quality used one for significantly cheaper online. Not sure if you do much used clothing. I don't even remember seeing you with a used hat (except ones you got from Stefan)?

 

[The Shoe]

Probably half & half with the hats. Two of my three leather jackets are second hand, and, yeah, I buy quite a bit on Mercari over here.
