Aero battered steer

I love the battered steer.
I think it would be a great leather for a J-100 replica, perhaps next year
.
Here a link to my Shackleton vest made in that hide.

I can also take some updated pics after nine month of wear. The leather is quite beautiful now.

Racer,Here some pics of my Shackleton vest
That is beautiful! I'm thinking of a teamster so it's nice to see the buttons with it. I am a big fan of your Sheene and now have one myself in seal Vicenza.
How would you compare the leather to your vicenza, or to FQHH or regular steer if you can?

Love that Shackleton. One day...
I'm curious to see which model is it.
That's a gorgeous hit of gear! Another Speedy classic.
We're still waiting fit pics of your new Aero, sir!
Craig, we definitely need to see fit pictures here, just not pics of the jacket by itself.

Great to see pics of the battered steer and it's a leather we almost don't ever discuss. I really like the looks of it and appears very "authentic" in a vintage styled jacket or vest.

The depth of color must be fine, as it seems to come through in both your and Speed's photos, which is unusual.

I still reallyl ike the look of the Shackleton.... I've got a fair few jackets I want first, but I could see me in one of those, cut a little shorter and neat, to wear as a waistcoat type thing....

I bought one from the sale page a month or so ago in Battered FQHH which I’ve only seen in swatches before. It’s a very nice hide and soft from the off. Not sure what to call the garment really. It’s long for a waistcoat and more like a modern gilet in the way it's worn. I wear mine under a tweed jacket or slightly longer leather coat mostly, and will wear it by itself over a shirt and jumper when it’s warmer and stops raining. It’s a sort of luxury purchase really. Most of the time it’s unnecessary but it is nice to have.
The ladies cafe racer nice!
When it come back, do you think your wife will agree to some fit pics?
I would like to see how it fit.
