Inspired by Alex' Cheyenne, thought I'd give mine an outing today.

Yes new and custom through Thurston Bros. as I own a few Aero jackets already in different styles thought I would get a new jacket using their fit process (using my existing jackets to get the right fit), super happy with the fit and ordering process, Carrie makes it so easy.

1.Vicenza Horsehide, Blackened Brown

2.All Brass Hardware, Talon main Zipper, Diamond Waldes pull on chest pocket

3.Lanark cotton tartan lining with black cotton sateen in sleeves

4.Side straps up to half belt location (like on 1930s Half Belt)

5.Leather-lined button cuffs (replace corduroy with leather)

6.1930s Half Belt cuff, not standard Original Hercules cuff

7.Replace corduroy under collar with leather

8.Left side vertical interior pocket with no closure

9.Left side horizontal chest pocket.

10.Olive Drab stitching

11.Rock’n’Roll label; new Thurston label in lower front bottom hem
Looks fantastic, and a size 38?! Weren’t you a size 44? What great weight loss effort, congrats!

Fantastic jacket! What hide is that? The standard dark brown competition weight cowhide?

Yes that's right. Weighs a tonne even though it's now nicely broken in. So comfortable to wear and very warm even in this northern England weather.
