WTB: Aero Bootlegger or similar low key Cross zip

As the title states, the one empty slot in my humble collection...looking for a cross zip, something like a bootlegger or similar. Nothing too moto. Simple is best!
Can wear anything from a 40” to 44” depending on measurements. Trying to avoid going full boat on a custom so we’ll see how that plays out...refreshing the Aero stock/sale page every 10 minutes doesn’t seem to be working. LOL.

If it helps on the sizing (I don't know what you've tied on before), the standard Aero Bootlegger is based on the same pattern as an Aero 50s Halfbelt, with a different front obviously. That's between a standard Highwayman and a 30s Halfbelt in fit. For wearing with a shirt, tie and waistcoat, or a not-too heavy sweater, I wear a 42 in a HWM, and a 44 in a 30s Halfbelt. My Bootlegger is a42; these days I'd probably buy a 44 and cinch it in more; all depends how you like it to fit on the waist.

sounds like this very creature is the nemesis of leather jackets, at least cross-zips! I‘m scared

Lifetime pieces, for a cat.

Greta Cat always tells me that my Aeros "are good for sleepses, cause is made of warmz." Her favourite is a shearling, though. Her late sister Marlene said the same. Somewhere I have a photo of them as kitten, curled up inside a B3 I foolishly left on the sofa...

I’m quietly hoping that the jacket I’m getting from FL will be the pinnacle of stripped-down, low-key cross-zip. It’s a journey I started about a year ago, after first seeing the Schott Raven and thinking it was a nice design but not a leather I’d want .

Yeah, that's a shame. It's a Vanson cross zip.
It appears that my album permissions are set to private, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to change them to public, or something else that would allow others to see them.
No, same error message!
