Aero's new pebbled grain merino.

[J.R.303]

What's the verdict mine is just being cut and I might have a chance of this new leather?
I think it looks good.

Picture?

Far too complicated for me to do that !
It's on their website, I don't know how long it's been available.

Are you talking about this one?

Cannot say fairer than that!

I’d definitely go for the merino, from John’s review it looks like it’d be worth the upcharge.

I have one as well. The finish on the exterior is some of the nicest I’ve seen, and it’s much more comfortable than any shearling jacket I’ve worn. It should be pointed out though that the fleece is about a third or half as thick as would be accurate to an original. That’s either really nice (wearable in more weather), or a big problem (inaccurate), depending on your priorities.

Seek and ye shall find, you can't get any more current than this thread <sigh>

I think their website ought to clarify that it is a lightweight version. I hate to think of anyone parting with their hard earned expecting to receive a heavy shearling.

Micawber, I did a forum search for "Aero leathers pebbled merino" and nothing comes up.
This looks like my dream irvin as I have been wearing my What Price Glory one a lot as it is very light and comfortable and can be worn in all weathers. It even keeps easterly winds out on the beach.

Best on the market imo

The next batch will have slightly stiffer exterior and slightly longer fleece, very much like the 1940/41 jackets before the real heavy bulkier leather was the norm
Won't look any different

You must be joking! I should have my jacket now but opted for this option because of the lighter weight and softer exterior. I was going for the normal russet but only noticed the merino at the last moment. I was told the other day it might be another three weeks and I ordered on 2nd of December.
Do you know when it will be in ?

I guess I have to save up now for next fall.

I doubt the new fleece will be in by then but when ir's ready it will be lighter than our current options

That's a shame just when you hit the jackpot....the ease of wear is THE thing for me, does it have to change ? I ordered one for September...this concerns me.

Thanks Ken

I couldn't agree more John.

It's going to be a very subtle improvement, trust us

The current version can hardly be improved
