I think I like it. I have a vision of a cafe racer made in natural horsehide.
Might look ugly tho, i dunno

 

[Windward]

ugly or atttractve

In "special circumstances" the hide might be looking after short time like an old jacket from the gold-digger-time. Does it look ugly or attractive ?

There was a thread on an Aero Half Belt in Natural: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=49400&highlight=natural+aero
I didn't know Aero even had this color.

 

[Windward]

Thanks for the link - looks "half-baked" and very unusual.

No problem. I really like the color of that jacket. I think a cafe racer would look nice in natural. I wonder if Aero still offers it, as that is the only Aero I have ever seen in that color.

I dont do light colors. I tend to stain and permanently mark them up to easy. Of course, Im also one of those guys who avoids wearing white out to dinner for the same reasons....so YMMV

Not my cup-of-tea TBO...but wouldn't it be a boring place if we 'all' loved exactly the same things. I like the richness of brown leather.

That's actually a Civil War inspired jacket in off white.

HD, I get that too. Presumably one of the kinks they're still ironing out with the upgrade.

I get the same,are you talking about the aero described as the deer 'look' lightweight summer jacket,I was checking the aero uk site a couple of days ago and can't remember seeing this before,I can't do the link thing but this is one really striking jacket and for £350 seems pretty reasonable.Reminds me of a kind of 40's shape,worn with wide,straight legged trousers and solid shoes/boots.I really like it,you'd stand out!

Raw Leather

I have a bag I bought in Poland about 6 years ago. It was natural leather, and, untreated, it's turned an awesome golden-tan color with a great patina. Wouldn't a raw leather jacket do the same?

 

[captaincaveman1]

Not natural white but white neverthless. Gradually turning a bone color due bugs, grease, bird poo, road tar, etc...

The natural Cafe racer hide is called Shank Tan Horsehide, very nice as it develops a lovely patina.
