D-Pocket leather jackets

[Monitor]

Looks better than any original I've seen!

That's a hell of a jacket. Is yours Cromexel HH?

Thanks man, Yeah aero cxl fqhh.

Cracking looking jacket, Gav. How's the fit on that model - is it a bit roomier like the Highwayman, or does it have the very sudden, very pronounced nip in at the waist that Aero's MC Perfecto-style jacket does?

Carrie says the j106 is the slimmest fitting jacket they do.

 

[Edward]

Is it straight up and down, though? The standard MC is fairly roomy at the shoulders, but nips in very suddenly at the waist... If it's that 20s style tubular fit, I might get away with a bigger size...

 

[Gav]

It is pretty roomy in the shoulders perhaps in part due to the full action back. Then quite snug in the waist. I am a fat b••tard though.

 

[Edward]

Heh! I'm on the porky side myself! The MC in Size 42 I know is roomier in the shoulders than a 42 30s HB, but, as memory serves, something like only 37" in the waist. I get the idea of forming a 'seal' to keep the cold air out on a bike, but I'll never have that sort of chest to waist drop again... probably haven't for twenty years!

I think this is definitely one that when the time comes I'll need to make a trip up to Gala to try them on. Hopefully they can accomodate. One day I'd love an Aero MC/P-type, but I'd definitely have to have about 4" added in the waist.

The J106 is definitely not as V shaped as the Aero MC jacket. As you know, that one has an insane drop. The size 42 that I had, which was perhaps a bit too large for me, still somehow managed to be skintight around the waist... J106 fits very much like a CR. Both are great fit, if you nail the size!

 

[Edward]

That sounds good.... by the sound of it, the J106, in the right size, is the right shape for me, which the MC sadly wasn't!

Aero have come up with a rather tasty D-pocket from their archives. Two-tone is reminiscent of Rin Tanaka's books:

 

[handymike]

this little pocket is a great shape!
I'd love to see it used on other jackets as well.

Best Aero I've ever seen.

 

[Sloan1874]

It's the first D-pocket that I've genuinely thought - aha, that's what I had in mind! It takes it back to its pre-biker forms.

GREAT addition to the Aero line-up!!!!

 

[Sloan1874]

I hope they do make it a permanent feature. I really like the two-tone too.

 

[ButteMT61]

Really really wanting a two-tone - again. Damn. I also like the idea of two contrasting browns, or, brown families. A little more subtle, but still killer.

...and I was just starting to believe you when you said you were finished buying more jackets lol

Believe me. I have ZERO cash. Lust is free...

That's a sryle I've seen in the Tanaka book and to rather fancy.

Oddly enough, way back in the mists of time, during the "Anything goes" period at Gala, I had vaguely specced out the idea of a Bootlegger with a D pocket. Would have ended up somewhere between that LE Schott from a couple of years ago, and this, though at the time I'd seen neither. This would look fantastic is goat... Maybe two tone, russet and seal...
