Another thing to note, even though this is primarily a wool jacket, it does require a bit of “break in”. Came out of the box pretty stiff and bulbous but quickly melts to the wearer. I think without question this is my favorite Aero to date. I wish I’d have tried the style sooner. The temptation is to hock off my few remaining leathers and just become the wool Halfbelt guy.
As no post of mine is really complete without pictures from my (regrettable) photo studio…I present these. You can zoom in and see the texture better and the collar is nicely tamed. First pic is more yellow than reality.

My dad was a gardener, and throughout his life whenever the weather was bad he would wear green canadian shirts like this one.
Because of that this fabric has always been special to me, it's basically how i remember my dad, that and the smell of freshly cut grass and two stroke fuel... I might have to ask Aero to make me a copy of the Tony special in memory of my dad.
.You will absolutely love it Carlos! If you like the Browns Beach and the SJC...this wool is far better than both. Depending on how you intend to wear it, I'd line the whole thing in corduroy...feels like a heavy toasty blanket on the inside.My dad was a gardener, and throughout his life whenever the weather was bad he would wear green canadian shirts like this one.

Those look superb!! I already have another in mind. Premier HWM, herringbone grey tweed, leather bits at the collar, back yoke, pocket piping and adjustment belts. Plan on firing up the crude photoshop this weekend and seeing if Aero will bite.
