New Aero Long Half Belt

[Seawolf]

Wow is that brown satin? Looks delicioso

I asked for wine sateen, and this is what I got. I think it's brown sateen. It looks really nice in person, and the jacket slip on and off with ease

That was a smart move. The only little change I wish I could make to my 50's HDB. With a heavy cotton or canvas shirt on in the winter, the drill sleeves are a b*tch to get arms through. Jansolo told me to do it and I forgot...

Well done Seawolf!! The jacket is very very nice and the fit is tiptop.

Enjoy it and take care of it.

Beautiful jacket. Length is great. Love the no gusset back. And the hide is killer. Not enough cordovan FQHH on the Lounge. Wear it in the best of health and pray for cold weather.

Great looking jacket! Fits well on you!
Cheers,

I really like the cordovan color. By the way: I often heard that the leather will bleed, when the jacket is new.
Do you have any experience with that?

Well, I've been wearing it around the house mostly, with the exception of a short trip to northern California where it was cool enough to wear a leather jacket, and I haven't had any bleeding yet. The jacket is still really new though, and I haven't really gotten to wear it yet.

Hello Scott,
I just ordered a 30's HB and I went with the Cotton-Drill lining. Should the sleeves have the Drill lining and the Sateen over them, or just the Sateen lining alone?
Thanks - Paul

Well, the drill is a little challenging to me. I'd have done one or the other - no experience myself with double linings. And the 30's design being slimmer, I'd say get the shiny stuff. Maybe others have opinions on the double-lining. I think Jansolo recommended that to me once. I def should have got it in the sleeves...

Thank you Butte,
Being a slim-fit, I think I'll take your advice and go for the Sateen(Satin?) sleeve lining!
