This does look like a great deal, but then again I’m still learning! Already sold

Who made this thing? Aero of Scotland? It's really not bad! I think it's Aero but the stitching seems too nice. Any ideas?

Not much info on the listing and no label

That was my first impression also

It is an Aero of Scotland. If you notice the stitching on the epaulette you can see a doubling on the sides of the X box. Originals did not have this but Aeros of Scotland Broncos do.

Aero of Scotland Bronco epaulette from their site:

eBay sale jacket- same stitching:

On originals the double sewing didn't go up the whole inner side of the X box:

To confirm I checked the GW Leather site- John's copy has the single stitching on the X box like originals- so the Aero mistake confirms this eBay jacket is an Aero!

Mistakes or not I think that it's a rather handsome jacket. Nice price too.

I like it too- I pointed out the mistake to confirm it's an Aero. Looks good!

I've only got the one Aero Jeff, a barnstomer and it is superbly well made. The build quality of it is terrific, the kind of jacket/coat that I could pass down and could still be worn long after I've popped my clogs.
