Has anyone ordered a Aero A2 in Black Seal Jerky...?
Doth not the mighty Scot comment? Dost be not “like” mee compliment?
Can someone explain me what is Jerky exactly? Have been wondering for some time
Like 50cal from ELC right? Same purpose more or lessWell first off jerky is not nearly as good as biltong
Sorry for the joke, I'll be serious now...
I believe Aero's "jerky" hides are those that feature strong and pronounced graining.

Now i understood thanks!No I don't think so. The 50 cal ones are what ELC call "Time Worn", a fancy name for the fact they've been "tastefully" distressed.
Aero's jerky HH are hides that have a lot of grain and which is very pronounced.
By the photos Ken posted here, it really looks nice! I love the wrinkles too on a leather. Would be nice if he could send me some little samples in different colours of the Jerky one ))I'm seen both the jerky and the 50 cal up close. The jerky is really nice stuff, the top coat tends to wear at the high points on it to reveal the underlying colour - seriously nice leather. My old boss had a Time Worn A-2 that he picked up at Duxford, nice but I'd rather "distress" a jacket myself with real wear. This is obviously subjective but I liked the jerky better.
