One of the best looking aged repros I have seen. Would wear this with pride if it would have fit. (And I had some spending cash).

I'm very temped to bid on it for our achives but we already have the very first Aero A-2, sold new for £75 in 1981, bought back from the original owner well worn for £650 in 2013 and now on display at the factory, if the one on ebay was a 38" I would bid on it for sure

Hell Ken
If it were a 46 I’d try and grab it myself .
I see the 2 piece back was the standard back then.
Great looking jacket for all these years.

Not at all it was very rare for us to do this, it would only happen if there was no way we could get a full back and a whole jacket from what leather we had, I'd have put seams in the under sleeves if that would have meant a full one piece back
We didn't buy from regular tanneries at the time, a lot of the leather we used in The Thrift Shop probably had, what might be best decribed as having, "a chequered history" :>) The shop was in Battersea after all (and during the Fools & Horses /Arthur Daley era) it attracted a lot chancers and plenty "back of a lorry" offers.

38 for sure. I'd be in competition with you on that one.

They make the Steve McQueen version Virgil Hilts, Kens jacket should be the 12 O Clock High Version of Colonel Keith Davenport. Way ahead of his time.
