Hi Mistercat,

We have Thedi jackets in stock and we will send them out for fittings. However, we find that we have specified these Thedi jackets such that they fit the majority of our customers right off-the-rack... If custom sizing is needed, we can do that too! The current wait time on custom Thedi is three to four weeks, depending on what orders we have in the queue. We do offer all of Thedi's cafe' racers, but we have made some changes for the Thedi jackets that we're carrying in the shop, such as specialty horsehide, old school tag, gabardine lining, Talon zippers, and fit details that follow from our experience with vintage cafe' racers!

Hello Carrie,
Can you please give more information on fit detail differences between original Thedi CCT1261 Café Racer and the jackets you stock?

Do zippers differ from original?

Thank you.

Thank you.

We made arm and body length changes; a change to horsehide leather; and Talon zippers as standard. We also have the CCT 1260, which doesn't have quilting on the shoulders... If you have questions about the Thedi leathers, give us a call, as sizing is tight (an XL is the equivalent of a 42 Aero or Vanson!)...

And I have to add, that I recently bought one of these, and I absolutely love the cut and the way it fits me. Very streamline and simple. You guys really nailed this one! Pictures don't do it justice.

Yeah... they contain the "serial number"(?) of the jacket. I put mine with other important papers and made a pull out of the leftovers Vanson made when they cut down my Ike. Sorry but that thing was just too big!

The Sheene looks awesome; I was always torn between trying to slim down a Highwayman or get a Cafe Racer with a collar, it seems the gap in the market has been filled. I'd like to see one of these with a removable mouton collar.

Thanks HD!

I was just working with a customer and found a cool photo of Ken and Denny from Aero racing in their Aero-sponsored Mini Cooper...

Also, check out the tag on this jacket!

"Veste de Rallye" - Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide

The Veste de Rallye successfully captures the period feel of 1960's motoring. First made by Aero in 1994 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the mighty Mini Cooper's first of four consecutive Monte Carlo Rally victories (although the French did manage to find a way to disqualify the winning Mini in 1966).

The Veste des Rallye is timeless in design. From its boxy 60's styled car coat cut to its simple two pocket design, tis Horsehide jacket will soon become a trusted friend.

Each jacket is lined in pure Alpaca Wool that is imported from Peru and is finished with keyhole sewn button holes and hand-stitched buttons (these will not fall off in a couple of years!). A really simple easy to wear "over jacket".

Aero knows a thing or two about the rigors of Classic Rallying, as their founder and his son won the 1993 Manx Mountain Challenge! The photo below shows Aero Leather's Mini Cooper S 277BRX competing in The 1996 Scottish Rally

**We still have three spots open for November Aero production, so give us a call today and have your new horsehide Aero by late November / early December!

My first Aero was a Veste. Great jacket but heavy. SJ
