Lewis Leathers seemed to have used the name for at least 2 decades. The tag in the 1970's Bronx has the R in circle logo which I assumed meant a registered trade name ?
I seem to recall Ken Calder had a shop in Battersea in London during this era and might of seen the name.

Gents, I'm selling this jacket on Ebay.
The leather is similar thickness to the vintage front three quarters horse Aero currently use.
Rare larger size 44 R.
No stitch holes or claims of provenance but it's similar to the one in the Eastman collection that does.
I have seen identical jackets...
Chaps, I've listed this jacket on fleabay with a realistic reserve
