Black fleece Aero Irvin type under an original 'Bowker' hat. I bought the jacket new last year then personally re-dyed the exterior. I say personally as I carried out the work as I have done on many projects before.

The Bowker is a cross between a bowler and top hat and was a type sometimes worn by Winston Churchill.

Always thought that hat looked smart on him. I've also heard it called a Cambridge Bowler.

Pugnacious! I've heard and seen it referred to as a Cambridge Bowler too but I prefer 'Bowker' as it's more take no BS term and saves confusion with the traditional rounded blower, or 'Coke' as they are occasionally called in certain circles. Bowker's are rare and relatively hard to come by.

Steve I feel like this torso shot could be the cover of a 70's rock album. So eclectic

You’ve taken that jacket and turned it into a real eye catcher and a much more accurate color than it was when it left Aero. If that’s a 46 or bigger and you get tired of it one day . Please put me at the head of the resale que:)

It’s a balmy 39F degrees here in Florida today o_O
WTF! I thought Florida was supposed to be warm ? Actually I’m pretty happy about the weather, as this is a jacket I’ve had for three years and have yet to wear it anywhere. It’s an ELC factory aged, Mixed Batch Perry size 46, still with the original tag on it . Sadly, I don’t get to wear it much, but I love it . Probably should think about moving it on at some point .
