Aero Californian

[HorseHide]

I noticed a listing for an Aero Californian on ebay - that is a model that isn't listed on the Aero site but is shown on the AeroUSA site. Looks like a half-belted Highwayman with modified cuffs. Anyone know, does it fit like a Highwayman or a Half-Belt?

Very nice looking design, good unfussy clean lines.

The Californian is based on the HalfBelt.

I guess you are right. I thought it had both a yoke shoulder and a half-belt but I went back and looked at the pics and it looks like a regular half-belt. Wasn't it Gilda Ratner (as Roseanne Roseannadanna) that said "Never mind..."

Aero's '30s HalfBelt has a standard western type yoke.
