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

That picture sold the HH Aero for me. Well done. Which HH is it exactly? I think that's the one for me.
Also, any pix of the inside?
