Hi Gang,

I'd like to trade my custom Aero Leather jacket for preferrably a B-10. Either a ELC, Aero or a even Pike Brothers. Or another quality jacket of like value though used (must be brown and horsehide is all). Or maybe even other stuff. Really seems like more fun to trade here than just sell.

Below are several images. If more are required, please ask. The back story is this: The jacket is based on the Aero A-1 but with details copied from various images in catalogs etc of the period, which I sent to them. As you can see, its got a leather collar but slash hand-warmer pockets and knit cuffs and waist. I'd requested one of their cool Talon zippers but I guess there was a mix-up and got the generic Aero copy. But looks great.

Its a 42" chest, FQHH in their seal-brown and a "waist" fit rather than hip fit. Had about a year and have worn a LOT (except summer)- I just love this jacket... considering I designed it! The sleeves have great wear as does the rest. Its in excellent condition, though well broken in. No issues, no stains or tears. There are a couple bumps and light scraps which look great.

However, its a tad tight in the shoulders without Bi-swing back. I'm a 42" with slightly broader shoulders so a 44" would have fit better for movement; but would've been too loose in the torso. But ordered in 42" thinking it would be trim, which it is. So I need something in a 44".

If you're interested in the trade, I'll provide detailed measurements if needed.
