Hi everyone, just trying to figure out what model of jacket this is as it doesn't look familiar to me - any ideas?

Maybe it's just me but the placements of those four pocket slants look messy or off in some way.

Much more like a '50s HB rather than a Highwaymen. I agree with Seb, the pocket configuration ruins the jacket. It has an Aero label..send them your photo for identification.

It's an Aero Leather Cropduster. I think that it's been discontinued, but Thurston Bros still have it on their website.

I think that this jacket is one of the original run, which were made from bison.
