Aero Plainsman -- Seal Vincenza Horsehide

Superfluous

Member
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).

Wonderful jacket and I don't think the fit could be any better. Just right in my opinion. Looks like a keeper.

looks great. the HH is really different from most Aeros Very, very grainy. I really like it and think it should age perfectly.

An excellent trim fit that appears to strike the perfect balance between a clean look and adequate freedom of movement. Congrats!
