Hi, Tito,

I have an oil-pull AERO A-2--I got the brown ones, though I should have went with the rust knits...

you should ask "SENICKO," or "GREYHOUND"--members of this forum--they are very informative about these aspects...

I'm just a Navy guy.

Where you're not.
I am partial to rust with a darker seal colour jacket, but with the russet I would go for something that will complement the colour of the hide. IMO a berry or mid brown would look fantastic with your oil-pull. Good luck on whatever you decide, after all it'll be your jacket and you'll be the one wearing it.:)

Wear it in good health.:eusa_clap

That's the right choice in my opinion - like others have said, it looks great with dark hide (and it's fairly unique to Aero)

Great choice, Tito--rust knits, and as Burnsie points out--it's "unique to Aero."

Post it when you get your Aero A-2...

Oil-pull is just awesome, even more so in daylight because of its color properties....

I'm confused :confused: is the oil pull seal or russet? If seal then the rust would look fantastic. Just like this Dubow I had done up by ELC.

I've seen the rust knits with Russet colored leather, and I think it looks good too. The rust knits are pretty unique to Aero, now and in WW2, and I think they distinguish the jacket, whether seal or russet hide.

Oh! what colors.

Hello: Tito

I have a couple of Areo horsehide jackets and I went with berry knits, only because I will wear the jackets and Berry is the darkest color Areo sells. This will show less dirt for a longer period of time.

If you getting the jacket to save then a lighter color may work for you. What ever color you go with you can't really go wrong. Good luck and best to you.
