Aero Leathers
-
I definitely agree with the above info, but I’ll add the following.
-If you live in the US a new moderately customized Aero is is about $750.. due to the current dollar to pound exchange rates. It’s a great time to buy new.
-Aero have a ready to wear section with jackets and leather choices in many styles… definitely check that out.

** and there is a Big Buck deerskin shirt in XXL sitting in the buy sell section in mint condition at about half off

Aero jackets are good quality and use great leathers, you can't go wrong with an Aero as a first jacket.
Fit is king with leather jackets so be sure to spend some time on looking at measurements and understanding different patterns.

@jiminstitches do I remember correctly, the your natural leather jacket was from Aero? The Highwayman, right?
I've not been able to shake my desire for similar from my head since seeing your pics, so have just messaged Aero about sizing on their Montgomery model.
Looking at this in Unfinished Horsehide;
Very similar to the Highwayman, but I love those unconcealed front pockets.

@T4920 My natural veg tan was from Simmons Bilt, the Tail Gunner!

@jiminstitches ah yes, there it is! Have you put much wear on it yet?

@T4920 a bit, it’s such a heavy jacket so it’s too warm for it at the moment, But as soon as Autumn comes it’s all I’ll be wearing!
