Stunning piece. I was never keen on suede before, but these really speak to me.... Beautifully made, too - of course.
Will do. It’s buttery soft right out if the box (except that there was no box) and requires zero breaking in. Denny at Aero recommends caution in the event of rain. It’s more of a fair weather jacket.

Man, that's gorgeous. I'd consider the Scotch-guard, though. Congrats.

Just saw this. You did well. The first thought that came to mind when I saw it was stunning. Then I saw all the others who said the same thing. It is stunning.

Really like the adjustment band across the center of the back; gives it a half belt look.
It is a half belt... That's what a half belt is!
I have had minor issues with the suede shedding/leaving some residue like loose nap. I have learned to live with it, though, and it has all but disappeared. The suede is wonderfully soft and resists stains. The softness is a double-edged weapon, though. If I let it hang on the Aero hanger for days, the shoulders bunch up a little; fortunately, they (almost) straighten out as the jacket is being worn.
Compared to my CXL Premier Highwayman, the Majestic is a gentle lady: truly beautiful, delicate, somewhat vulnerable, and a tad whimsical. The CXL is a crass redneck of a man (no offence to anyone, it’s just a pun on the (small and entirely washable) stains that it sometimes leaves on my shirt collar) - tough as nails, but - don’t tell anyone - soft deep down, where the pull-up shows through;-)

I don’t understand why people treat suede like a delicate flower. I have suede boots that I’ll wear in any weather. If they get dirty I was them in the sink. Yes, completely soaked, soaped, and rinsed. Let them dry with newspaper shoved in to retain shape and then get the nap back up with a suede brush. Good as new after.

In fairness, I think we do tend to overly baby our jackets etc. I'll wash a leather jacket in my washing machine, and I'd wear suede in the rain (if I had a suede jacket).
If these really were our workwear or the only jacket we owned, like those 50s dudes we check pictures of, then we'd expect our outerwear to be robust and take much more of a beating than we let them take nowadays.
(I wouldn't wash a suede jacket in my machine tho!)

Obviously it's a decision for the individual, and rightly so. But we strive for patina and wear characteristics in our jackets, while simultaneously avoiding wearing them hard enough to achieve exactly that.
