Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

[DamonCyclee]

That's what I figured.

Aero seems to like to order their Horween FQHH 3-3.5oz. But all the recent Horween FQHH I've see being pushed around on the retail market are thinner, 2.5oz ish. My Pinnacle jacket is in the thinner hide and I wish it was thicker. And I think that's where the delay is from.

What jacket design did you go with for the Pinnacle leather?

Primer highwayman make up with longer back is what Holly suggested, been waiting for like 3+ month, at this point i just hope it gets here so i can wear it before it gets too cold in February.

Thought I share pics of the Pinnacle brown color from Aero!

Hooo wee that looks great.

My jacket should hopefully arrive in November, in pinnacle brown.

Ohh, forgot to say, spoke to the product manager at Horween and he gave me lots of info about the leather.

From my notes it's "Mill dyed, less waxy than cxl, 1-1.2mm thick, less overall tonality so a bit more uniform, and scratches won't expose a "nude" leather underneath like CXL.

Designed to have a softer hand and be a softer feeling horsehide"

Interesting that they'll be seemingly trying to thicken up Pinnacle for batch #2 including Brown.

I'm not complaining at all even then, the first batch was said to be shooting for 1.1-1.3mm in thickness so ~1.2 overall.

Awesome, a new leather Aero can use to make jackets that look just okay on someone if they are A. Christian Bale in The Machinist or B. John Candy in any movie... and horrible on any body-type in between.

I'm excited. Can't wait for a marked 34 with a 26" ptp and 22" shoulders that is still somehow too small or a marked 42 with an 18" ptp and 14" shoulders that somehow wears like a circus tent.

Rant over. As always, YMMV

I'm sorry to hear that you were obviously unlucky with your Aero jackets.
I ask before I order which of my typical sizes has which measurements and then modify one or two things. I haven't done too badly so far.

Pics or it didn't happen.
