New member ...showing off part of my collection

[JanSolo]

Greetings,

my name is Jan Harre. I'm from northern Germany and I am currently 33 years old. I've studied German, English, and Marketing in both Germany and England (Southampton). I have a strong interest in vintage quality clothing including flight jackets, leather and cloth utility jackets, dry denim and welted boots and shoes. I also love classic and contemporary rock music and I try to go to concerts as often as possible.
Some of you may already know me as I am a regular poster on the Fedora Lounge. Below you'll find a couple of pics of me showing off a couple of my jackets. I tend to buy from Aero exclusively as their jackets are truly excellent in all respects and they are willing to customize any jacket they are making. None of mine is an "off the rack" sample. Most of them are moderatly, some heavily customized.

It's good to be here!

Jan

Hi Jan,
Welcome to the forum.
I like the third jacket in particular, what type is it ?

 

[JanSolo]

Hi John,

thanks for the welcome! Third pic or third jacket? The third jacket is a shortened Cheyenne with Mariner pocket flaps, two piece back with curved yoke and single lower panel. It's a size 40 with a slimmed down pattern. The body length was shortened by 2 inches whereas 1 1/2 inches were added to the sleeves. The jacket is made from brown FQHH in a darker shade, lining is Aero's heavy brown cotton drill.

Cheers,

Jan
