Great jacket! just out of interest ... how pliant is the vintage horsehide? does the jacket still stand up by its own, or is it more relaxed? my new highwayman (non-vintage) is stiff as hell and will have to take quite some beating :P will put up some pictures soon cheers

thanks for posting! great thread! just wondering if you'd happen to know the manufacturer of the coats? cheers

can only second that! As good as Aero may be, there lack of communication in this matter is astounding!

When I ordered the jacket way back in March I had Will on the phone and he told me that, given how much orders they have to process right now, it'd take up to 6 weeks. Thus, according to that outlook, the jacket should have arrived at around mid-May. Because it still hasn't arrived I contacted...

thanks for that input - as disheartening as it is. Have you contacted Aero meanwhile? The fact which annoys me is that other than 'beeing busy' they haven't stated any reason for the delays with my order. However, if 'being busy' essentially amounts to delays in the range of 3 months (or...

I'm starting to get a little impatient ... I've placed the order for my Highwayman on March 1st and I'm still waiting ... Fair enough, it's a high quality jacket and everything ... but 8+ weeks for a leather jacket - that's a little ridiculous

Hi Lenny, congrats on your new jacket ... no doubt it'll last forever and will be a steady companion over the years to come :) I remember that we placed our orders on exactly the same day - March 1st, that is. The only difference is that I ordered mine through Aero's headquarters in Scotland ...

thanks for the advice, Cooperson. I'll contact Amanda soon to get some of their leather samples for comparison. The seal goat sounds like a good option for a summer jacket ... will keep you guys updated cheers

Hi Edward, I'm planning on getting a summer-version of the highwayman in a lightweight hide. Hence I was thinking about goatskin - but I couldn't find goatskin as an option listed under Aero's 'other hides' section. Did you ask for goat or is it the standard hide on the AN6552? And what's the...

okay, the next jacket is sorted :)

fantastic jacket! still looking for one myself, so far without much luck though ... very fast selling items, that's for sure

great jacket! does Johnson Leathers also deal with foreign customers? I'm tempted .... haha

great jacket Tito! seems like the cordovan is ageing well and developing a nice patina

great jacket! I really like your redwings as well ... yet another item on my 'to buy' list :D

great choice! I was thinking about something similar for my next jacket. I really like the LHB but there are a few things I'd change (e.g. straight outside pocket, 1930s button cuffs) ... IMO the storm cuffs go really well with the highwayman but don't look too convincing on halfbelts.
