My my... Aero must be working hard tha last few days before Christmas! What a sweet jacket, love the patina! Also I think the green lining is a perfect match for brown FQHH jackets. Congrats!

Windward;

Super looking jacket! Not everyone can pull off wearing the Windward, but in the multiple pictures I've seen you wearing your Windwards, you do look good in them.
Before you grab your wife for assistance, please button up your fly!

Best regards, coffee

Thanks gents for all of your compliments and comments . . .
Dav - sure will make some pics of my Bentley Windward next - its a 5 kg beast.
WalkingBoy - sorry for that . . .
Andy - yes the patina was love at first sight - looks similiar to your great Highwayman - will show the lining and the double leather hem asap.
too much coffee - thanks for your compliment - Haha - maybe I drank too much coffee and have forgotten to close all of the too much buttons.
OneEyeMan - as promised lining comes next
Norwayman - yes i feel so great with the fit AERO make the shot on the target - it remember me of the great fit of your Highwayman.

Thanks

Another very nice Aero Windward, Mr Windward - you do wear this style well. Five Windwards now in your stable - that's almost a herd!! Enjoy the break in and I look forward to seeing your new Bentley version. Merry Christmas.
