Two Q+D pics of me in my Aero HG-5

Here's a couple of pics of me in my Aero HG-5 that I just snapped with my cell phone. Apologies for the bad quality. This is made with Aero's black FQHH. I bought it used so don't know if it started out as the 'vintage' FQHH or the regular FQHH, but it is now quite broken in. The leather looks similar to that on the Aero Cafe Racer that Gancho posted some time back, which was the 'vintage' one. The hide is not particularly thick, certainly not as thick as Vanson's competition weight cowhide, and it causes me to wonder if Aero uses thinner hides for its 'vintage' offerings? It certainly does not seem as thick as some of the pictures of new Aeros that I've seen here. In any case, hide thickness aside, I love this jacket, and it is the only horsehide one I own.

btw, the spots in the first pic are on the mirror, not the jacket.

thanks for looking!
