True, also wore a Fairisle tank top and high waisted trousers yesterday (not dissimilar from what he was wearing in the 50s too)...

Looks like a very well made jacket and you do wear it well. Enjoy!

Beautiful new Himel! And great fit. Thanks for the pics.
I usually prefer the buttons on the Heron, but you've proven that the zippered model looks equally cool, particularly in black.
Where's that pic from Butte? Nice 2 tone Heron.

Ish, it's from the Aero fanpage on Facebook. They have lots of cool gear and makes for some new ideas. One of those fellas has a shop in Paris. Good stuff!

odd yes, There are jackets that you put on and immediately think, wow, it fits perfect and I have to have it! This was not the case. I prefer a heavier piece for more protection and better fitting. The leather used seems more for enclosed motoring activities or fashion articles.

Yep. I fall in lust with jackets/boots etc right off. This jacket wasn't even close for me. And that bummed me out after seeing all the posts here. I wanted to find a new brand/style to shoot for. Maybe it's unfair to judge with such limited exposure. I'll keep looking so I don't miss the next keeper

I'm torn. I'd like to try some new things. I'm not ordering from a certain maker and I don't think Himel makes 'em in my size. I'm toying with Johnson and I have a GW in queue. The Aero thing is starting to get to me with shipping costs and other limitations. I do like the pics of the two-tone jacket in another thread though. Maybe I'll go back to collecting watchesSo, perhaps a clue on a future Aero! Very nice!

My vote is for Johnson.

Most of the Johnson I have seen are basic. Has anyone stretched them a bit with something more unusual? They look up to the task, just tired of the same old designs in my closet...

I'm with you there. If I was in the US, I'd be knocking on those doors. I'm lucky in that Galasheils is easily reachable (there and back in around 8 hours), so no worries re shipping and such.

Surely an excuse for another European trip and a chance to drop in and meet Aero's founder?!
