Thank you. The matte look of this brown is growing on me (still partial to the tobacco badalassi) but the fit/mobility sets is apart. What a great construction and the attention to details they did is highly commendable.

From Disfarmer photo book:
Specially this look is what you see a lot of people wearing when into leather jackets and vintage stuff:
Also... they wore the big cuffs too. Nothing is new in the way "heritage" guys wear their denim or leather jackets.
Snug jackets with Denim?
Any of these looks is basically what people into "workwear" wear on a daily basis.
Wide legs, cuffs, half belts, wool, you name it. Everything was done:
You don't dress any differently than any of those guys. They just wore it to death and that's the look a lot of us enjoy.

This thing ain't bad at a $150-200 price point. Obviously an Aero Blackened Brown Vicenza would be better, but scratching this itch in the meantime and saving some bucks.
Had to give it a serious water treatment. Mostly because it smelled like a bottle of cologne, but it was like 15% too big for me too. Took some abuse in the dryer, a good hour on max heat, and shrunk down nicely. I also moved the buttons on the wrists to give it more of a taper and tighter closure. In doing so I discovered the leather is dyed through, so not going to get any sort of break in colors. I'm guessing best case, maybe I get some fading and duller shades of black around the high traffic areas. But like I said, for now, all good.

It arrived a day early! I’m going to write up this jacket. I think Aero outdid themselves. The color is very hard to describe. It def has more evergreen in it than the last batch. Full sun pics tomorrow so I can actually see what color it is. I purposely wore a blue shirt and black pants to try and capture it at least a little bit. Let me tell you. I AM IN LOVE!

Looks like the midnight blue returned to what is was around 2018. Beautiful blue-green undertones. Didn’t Radz up in Canada have one of the first batches of this stuff? So nice. Looks great man. Perfect.
That is exactly what I thought too. It reminded me very much of the shade of his BL. I have to see it in the light tomorrow to know for sure. Was essentially dark when I opened it up. But I do see loads of green in it. I’m geeked man. This one turned out pretty darn cool.
Looks like another perfect fit! How long did u spec the back length? Looks just right all over

I'm glad you really like this one! That's a nice fit, you really mastered the Aero measurement system! Can't wait to see the back design, what a clean looking jacket. I hope it's a keeper. . .

everything looks cooler when slightly dusty, disheveled, scruffy, and in black and white picture.
