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

willyto · Jul 16, 2018

Excuse the super crappy picture, today it rained, bad light and lazy to take the camera out!

It arrived and it's freaking fantastic. Love the goatskin and the buttons. At first it was a bit restricting, tried it on, wore it at home for a while and it's getting more comfortable. Exactly as it happened with my Aero. The break in of this jacket is going to be really fun(As happens with zippers, that area is really stiff )

I was worried about the fit but I like it, snug in the waist and sleeves just right for my preference(I hate long sleeves). I promise to take better pictures and write a review soon.

I like the jacket and the way it fits you but the fur is quite peculiar on this one, very long and kinda of messy. Probably it just needs a comb through!

Hurry up Aug. 1st.! steve

Oh, I haven't shaven my moustache if that's what you mean. I don't shave more than 1-2 a week because my skin is really sensitive so it could be that sometimes I post pics with a 3-4 day beard

Thanks! Hope to get better pics soon. The Goatskin might not be Shinki but I'll be damned if it isn't nice.

The fur is quite gnarly. I like it because gives the jacket a more rough look rather than a dressier one.

I think that the fur stands out a lot because the rest of the jacket is so crease free and smooth.
Once it is broken in, and the cuffs, collar, sleeves and pocket flaps get some life into them it will even things out.
I would water the crap out of these sleeves and crease them hard!

Nice fit though, a full review would be nice!

Hands down the finest Aero, scratch that, finest jacket period, I've ever owned. This thing is an absolute monster. A true behemoth of leather and corduroy. This is by and far away the heaviest jacket I've ever handled from any maker anywhere. Schott hanger is all but snapping like a chicken bone under the great weight.

Looks phenomenal! That Steer cordovan is beautiful stuff!

Now, where are the fit pics?

Coming soon. It's gotcha day with my daughter so we are headed out for ice cream. But yeah. The fit is to the nuts!

That looks amazing. The brass hardware and the contrast stitching really work. Well done. I thought I had the perfect cordovan jacket in my Bootlegger. I was wrong.

This cordovan looks much more red than others. Is it the lighting of the photo, a trick of the camera? Or is it like that in real life?

Hard to say. That's a full sun shot. I'll get some fit pics up in various light here in the next day or so. I will say it it shows tremendous amounts of light/dark variation. Some areas look almost black while others are pretty light. If you're into heavy leather get on board with Aero but quick. I've not seen anything like it in 12 years (makes the storse stuff feel like a members only windbreaker).

Does it weigh more than your monster 12lb J-106?

Comparing to the website photos of the cordovan steer Highwayman I ordered back in February, yours is looking much lighter.... but full sunlight and camera sensor type/software settings could explain that.

No comparison. J106 felt like Zara pleather by comparison. I truly believe a j106 in this would weigh damn near 20lbs. It's actually hard to bend my arms. Like curling 135 at the squat rack but not having Terry Crew's arms. Here's an indoor shot for colors sake.
