Black Connolly Aero HWM Bought this from @Jrolfe in November (which he bought from @dan_t not too long before: reference original classified postings below) It has not been worn much after Dan_t obtained it from Aero. Unfortunately, I have not worn it all since November and can’t justify it just hanging in my closet, posting (with hesitancy) just in case somebody else would be interested in such a nice Connolly jacket and will give it the wearing it deserves. Prefer my jackets (or coats ) to fall below my waist line a couple inches specially since I do not tuck my shirt in. Fit is excellent. Numbers taken from precious listings. $500 USD +shipping. Marked as a 42 (true to size unlike newer Aero jackets) Pit to pit: 24-24.5" Shoulders: 19.25-20" Sleeves: 25 1/4" Back: 25 1/2" - I will post pics tonight of the jacket with measurements (to confirm above https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-hwm-connolly-steerhide-42.99147/ https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-connolly-zip-sleeve-highwayman-vgc-42-true-to-size.98228/#post-2585468
I just confirmed measurements in the original post (previous 2 sellers). See pics in below post for confirmation. P2P 24" Shoulder 20" (19 1/4" seam to seam) Sleeve 25 1/4" (center), 26 1/4" (outer) Back 25 1/2"
I just got a Connolly Halfbelt a short while back. Really beautiful leather - I see now why it was used for the seats of Rolls Royces and Spitfires. Beautiful and tough leather.
This really is a great jacket! I sold this to Ken. Worth every penny he’s asking for. A jacket that when you put on it hardly feels like it’s on. Very comfortable.
I can't believe that this is still around. I received this directly from Denny at Aero & it's a stunner. Sometimes I wonder why I ever let it go, but then I remember that it sat there for a couple of years and was worn about 2 times....
