    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Thanks for your input. I quite like the minimalist look though. I'll see how it goes. At the end of the day, all Aero leather jackets will be great

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    In the end I decided to go for the back yoke of the Premier and inside pockets as recommended by Aero. No chest pockets though as I don't use them anyways. Hopefully it'll look alright.

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Haha oh man life is tough... These jackets are all amazing so I guess this is a bit like agonizing between a Rolls Royce and Bentley. I'll stick with the PHWM for the nice fit.

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Right, so I'm going to keep the back yoke of the Premier, no front yoke or chest pockets though. interior pockets I'll just see what Aero say. Thanks for the advice all. Hopefully it'll turn out similar to the LL Corsair: https://www.lewisleathers.com/productinfo.html?code=jak-60 Only probably...

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Thanks for your post. That's a good point about the dangling balls pocket. I think hiding it behind the leather is what Daniel Craig is doing on the earlier picture I sent? I guess I could try vertical pocket opening, but it just feels weird like it's easier for things to slip out?

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Thanks for your input. Seems we have kinda similar tastes in jackets, just I don't mind about historical accuracy so much. I think I've decided what I'll go for (for this black jacket anyway). A Premier Highwayman with the following alterations: 1. To remove the front chest pocket altogether...

    Cool. Thanks for everything. I'll let you know how the jacket turns out!

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Looks like a brilliant jacket. Thanks for going to the effort of showing me that. One more question: What's the difference with the buckles? That's something I probably would have never even thought about.

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Thanks for your thorough post. The thing is, I just know what whatever I order I will probably love it. These tiny details probably won't make or break the jacket at all. I'm torn between red or black heavy drill cotton lining. Red is nice: some classic Lewis Leathers have red and it looks...

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    That is one incredible jacket! You must be very pleased. Having worn it for awhile, is there anything you would change? When you say modified collar, did you just ask for the Highwayman one? And the olive drab stitching is a nice touch. I hadn't thought about the waist buckles at all. What's...

    To be honest, on second thoughts I might omit the exterior chest pockets altogether.

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    I was going to go with the standard Highwayman cuff instead of the button cuff of the Premier Highwayman. This should also work better with a backpack and heavy laptop right?

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    It's kind of fun thinking about the perfect leather jacket, but also quite agonizing and I feel like such a pedant worrying about what kind of zipper to use and so on... I appreciate the comments from everyone though. Yeah, I'll probably go for horizontal opening inside chest pockets and not...

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    I think the standard Highwayman collar is maybe a little more conservative and timeless than the Premier. What do you think? I'm not a big fan of the dangling balls from the chest zips if I'm honest. Do you have any pictures of the alternatives? I think Daniel Craig is rocking a Highwayman here...

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Thanks for the help. What do people think of the collar? I might ask for it to be in the style of the highwayman, but I don't know if that'll ruin the look. I'm also not a fan of the showy chest pocket zip. I think I want a very low-key zip without anything dangling, but looking at the Aero...

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Is it the case that snaps, zips etc cause more show through than just open pockets? To be honest, I rarely need to zip my interior pockets anyway. I imagine the Aero's are quite deep.

    First Aero Premier Highwayman leather jacket advice? + interior pockets

    Hi everyone, I've lurked on these forums for awhile because they're a great resource. Only now that I have decided to buy a relatively expensive leather jacket have I created an account to ask for some advice. I'm from England, but I happened to be in Scotland last week so I decided to stop by...
