That is very nice Cabbie. That leather and those knits ... very nice indeed

In answer to various queries we've had re our latest Horsehide................which has been a LONG time in the making and was matched (really well) to a couple of WW2 Aeros
It is full grain, tanned in The UK from selected European Horse, it is pure aniline tannage that also uses “classic” waxes and oils.
It has a pull up but also due to the rich brown of the crust will display Teacore properties

We've held off introducing the W535ac-16160 for a year or more to co-incide with the new leather, these things don't happen overnight, London Cabbie "hailed" the very first one, the second sample, made at the same time, is up for grabs on our stock page

For anyone not a size 40" we have opened the order book

https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=5131

Plan is to keep production of this contract to our very best leathers only, Vicenza, our reworked Jerky with selected "super grain" and the new Kelpie Tea Core Horse, "Kelpie" being a mythical Scottish Horse!!

Been wearing it non stop 24hrs. The colours and hues in the leather are amazing...reddish browns, dark claret & deep, deep burgundy’s. Beautiful. Love it @Ken at Aero Leather.

 

[London Cabbie]

Now wear the piss out of it . ( That should be a VLJ good luck wish for guys who get new jackets . Sort of like telling an actor to break a leg )

Definitely.

Thankyou everyone.

Yes, Same "Kelpie" leather on our site
Only Jerky pics I've got are from jackets made from the sample batches that I've been working on in my studio....................my way to keep my head in one piece through lockdown

Best blow these up to get a true look, my digital camera is approx 30 years old

Good God man, don't wear it to bed. People will start to suspect.
Terrific jacket Stuart. Big congratulations sir.

After seeing this original I am even more thrilled with my 18775 I snaffled earlier in the year...

This new 'Aero by Aero' is a cracker. Loving rust knits now....

That is a beauty and with some wear it’s probably going to be one of your all time favorites .

 

[ausreenactor]

It's all about the Monarch still at the moment. This will get some legit wear in the New Year. It will come with me to Brisbane when I return to work, for real. This hide is awesome... Knew it right away from the pics. If Aero had launched this new hide earlier in the year I would have possibly gone that route.

Will be able to exploit 24/7 air conditioning at tax payer expense and get the 'chill' happening. Our borders are opening up on 01 Dec. Only one state now is dealing with a COVID cluster. Hopefully they contain it. They failed to use hindsight and allowed their security to work in other locations and return home? Just like Victoria.
