I bought this in the 'Grand Theft Aero' sale direct from Aero last year, but I really don't wear it enough to warrant keeping it.
I can't see an exact match in Aero's range for the pattern, it's closest to a Teamster with a simplified back, or a Maxwell with a slightly different front!
You can see where the horseleather label has been unpicked, that is because this is a steerhide jacket, not horse leather. I assume this was a jacket originally sold as horse leather, but then returned once proven to be steerhide (the scandal that brought Aero's founder back into the company and the eventual criminal court case brought against the management that he had left in charge).
It's a heavy, extremely well made jacket. Size is 38, and I would say it fits true to that (with room to layer underneath).
Pit to pit is 23", shoulders are 18.5", length (base of collar to hem) is 28.5" and sleeves are 25" from shoulder to cuff.
It's a lovely thing and weighs a ton! I would like SOLD £260 SOLD posted in the UK, payment by bank transfer (Paypal is OK if the fees are covered). Not looking to post outside the UK, as I suspect the postage will be a lot!
(Not going to drop the price any further, think I'll just keep it and wear it.) Nope, still not wearing it, so back for sale.
