Love the jeans and label. Great outfits all around.Here we go with the same jacket, different hat again. This time it’s a Hornskov Emissary in black cherry.
View attachment 598871 But this time I am wearing another item that may be of interest to some. My birthday present was a pair of Oni Denim jeans. The guy that makes these is in his seventies. Apparently when it gets too cold in winter, he doesn’t work. Also when it gets too hot in summer. He’s the only one that knows how to use the vintage machinery, and there will be no one to take over once he calls it quits. The denim is pretty special - unlike any that I’ve come across before.

My wife also went for a leather jacket. Hers is a Paul Smith very soft sheep leather. The hat is a Maxim.

Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. I like your use of color theory. Are you a painter, by chance?Here we go with the same jacket, different hat again. This time it’s a Hornskov Emissary in black cherry.

Thank you. But, no, not a painter. I am appallingly bad at drawing.I like your use of color theory. Are you a painter, by chance?
Re: Oni
He makes great stuff. I wore my 20th anniversary edition type 3 yesterday.
I have a good amount of Japanese and vintage denim but everything else, so far, seems ordinary compared to Oni.
And happy b-day!
Please make this happen, it’ll be super cool. That one fits you incredibly (no surprises there).It made me think that this jacket in green kelpie, rough side out, would really be a show stopper. It got me thinking really hard.
I’m hoping to get a greenlight. Time will tell!Please make this happen, it’ll be super cool. That one fits you incredibly (no surprises there).
If they know what’s best they’ll accept.I’m hoping to get a greenlight. Time will tell!
I think Aero has some pretty hard and fast lines they won’t cross. I don’t see why they wouldn’t do it. Kelpie is very thin, easier to work with. I also pm ‘d Julie on IG to get the machinists feeling on its feasibility!If they know what’s best they’ll accept.
You’ve brought them so much business over the years by posting here perfect fitting super cool Aeros that it’ll be strange if they didn’t.
Heard back from Denny, Aero no longer carries Kelpie as the hides were too inconsistant with regard to quality. Trying to figure out which hide to reverse...or see if I can get one done in dark brown split cow...Please make this happen, it’ll be super cool. That one fits you incredibly (no surprises there).
