How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

That sounds good, I had thought of ordering an Aero type 3 in natural vicenza but battered tan would be very cool as well, kind of a 70s vibe.

Just keep in mind that the battered tan HH will be stiffer than the
Vicenza HH until broken in.

Yeah, I know that the battered tan will be stiffer, so I'll have some work to do. But the battered tan has just become sort of irresistible to me lately. And seeing your Teamster HD didn't help - just looks so good. I'm hoping that the Type III pattern will make breaking it in a little easier than some other patterns, as it isn't as trim as some other patterns that have high armholes. Maybe I'm weird, but higher armholes always made breaking in certain styles a bit less enjoyable -- like CRs, Sheenes, etc. I've had them in CXL Steer, CXL FQHH, and Vicenza. The CXL steer especially is a bit much for me in the slimmer patterns.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the Vicenza. The color is a bit too uniform. I like the color variation we see in some of the other Aero hides a bit better. And in terms of color variation, its hard to beat the battered hides with their pull-up effect. Don't get me wrong, the Vicenza is a very high quality leather, but just looking for something different at the moment.

And, to contradict myself (!!), if the fit jacket seems like it will be better suited to Vicenza, I'm prepared to consider the blackened brown. Or maybe the battered steer that Aero does on the Shackleton vest, which I understand is a significantly lighter weight hide.

I've got an Aero "Real Deal" in seal coming, new but resold from a fellow in Poland. I've also got a pre-loved Aero black CXL FQHH cafe racer waiting for me when I get back to the US of A for the Xmas holidays, courtesy of @ai00344. The sizing on both seems to be perfect measurement wise, but we'll see once I've got the creatures in my hands.

Bigben your becoming quite a mover and shaker in here. For any future sellers / buyers he is a great guy to deal with and you have to love a guy who buys his own Christmas gifts

May I ask you please - how you manage to place such orders, and - which possibly is even more important - to get all these recent GW's beauties done almost immediately, right out of turn?
Just interesting to know the good way how to do that too))
