First and foremost, huge thanks to Carrie at Thurston Bros. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with.
I am not a fan of Horween FQHH and, therefore, I did not previously patronize Aero. However, Thurston’s introduction of the Vincenza HH changed the playing field. The Vincenza has far more grain and character than the Horween FQHH, and is also considerably more pliable. That said, the Vincenza still has the hearty/sturdy feel of HH. It is a wonderful leather.
Given my preference for slender, minimalist cuts, I went with the Plainsman. The fit is fantastic! After much contemplation, I went with a 26.5 in back (I am 6’0’’) and I am really pleased with the length.
IMHO, the workmanship is good, but not great. Don't get me wrong . . . I love the jacket. On the other hand, I have jackets – admittedly more expensive – that have better workmanship (e.g., more precise edge work and stitching).
