Aero Buffalo Check Wool and Leather jacket

I agree about the colour combo, but I’m a bit bummed they changed the collar to this more boring/conservative style.

Yeah I'm with you on that as well. Maybe you could still order it with the better collar.

Seabiscuit collar! It only makes sense.

What a beauty! Very similar to the GW Arcadia which is one of my all-time favorite designs.

Oh my! I like this one. I had some emails with Ken Caulder about the Combo jackets. I had not seen this one. We discussed the various designs. He was not too keen on the brown Hercules I posted above from the 1945 catalog. It did inspire him to find some old wool he had laying around that is very similar.

Ken is back at the machine, says this is where he relaxes. He is working on a combo pattern using the lost wool. Will be interesting to see what he creates.

I told him to keep me posted.
