Hi everyone,
As a new member of the Lounge, I’d like to ask for your expert opinion on my recent purchase.
I just received my custom Aero Premier Highwayman in Natural CXLHH. Overall, I am thrilled with the jacket: the fit, the sizing, and the leather quality are absolutely spot on. It is a beast!
However, I have some minor concerns regarding the craftsmanship, specifically the stitching around the cuffs. From what I’ve read here on the forum, some irregularities might be considered "character" or part of the handmade process at Aero (especially with 4 layers of heavy horsehide), but I’m curious to hear what the more experienced members think about the finish.
I’ve attached some photos for reference. Does this look like the typical Aero standard to you?
Thanks for your insights!
