So... after a long wait (order placed: End of June, arrived yesterday 4th of Sept.) I finally received my Aero Route 66 (size 38 regular). Timing wise is not too bad considering they're busy & took a 3-week holiday in July...Looks like the jacket was started on the 31st of August (tag date on the jacket) and probably took them a couple of days to finsih it...I would have to say it was worth the wait...
I specified a few modifications from the Aero's standard Route 66 as the standard Route 66 looks "too busy" for me (i.e., the slanted breast pocket & the buckled sleeve design) ... I've also had a Crown zipper fitted
The hide is vintage brown FQHH and it is not as stiff as the standard FQHH but nevertheless still heavy & stiff, compared to what I am used to...
It's still somewhat warm here in the UK but I'm going to start breaking the jacket in now...
Thanks to Van who made himself available to bounce ideas off, to share pics of his awesome Aero jackets, taking measurements, etc.
Here are a few pics:

Hope you enjoy the pics...
