Gable - Turtle & Leather

[BellyTank]

Aero produced an A-1 Howard Hughes-like jacket for LVC a couple of years backyou might fancy, Scotrace. There's been a rash of them being hawked on eBay recently. I'll take pics of mine and post 'em later.

I'd still like to see the pics of the Aero/Levis/Hughes jacket,
Mr. Inyereye.

I may be lazy but at least I'm shiftless.
I'll get around to it.

Come on Mud...

Dying to see this HH baby of yours, and I know that any salute to Mr Hughes' (from his more dashing days) on this place will attract a big audience, bet your bottom dollar it will :eusa_clap

The anticipation now Mud is just too much!! Go For It!:eusa_clap

I still think it' a very cool jacket.

To answer on the lining...

Well Scott, it is a dark green cashmere lining, which is lovely, with dark brown cotton drill lining in the sleeves for max durability. Aero left the bottom of the lining open to allow for airflow/ventilation.

I wish I could say that folk stop me in the street, gasp..and splutter out , "My goodness, has anyone told you you're the spitting image of Clark Gable!!"

But the jacket (double breasted FQHH) is a winner and will outlive 'me.' It looks as good with a Fedora as with a Newsboy, and depending on which headwear, takes on a totally different appearance.

That is an excellent ensemble that Gable is wearing.

He had a brother in acting?

Good thread. Picked up a few ideas about dressing with the new car, and of course the brother tidbit.

There was no brother, I'm afraid. Paddy had a joke. The vanished picture was of Paddy in his Aero.

Lol! lol Hook, line and sinker! :eusa_clap

I'm still going to clone that ensemble for dress, of sorts.

There was no way you could have known.

I agree 100%. That's still a great jacket & sweater combo. The collector's edition DVD of GWTW has a fair amount of such footage. I wish I could share the snipet of video!

I need to upgrade my VHS version.
