After about a week I got around to taking a few pics of my new Aero - I wanted another A-2 but one with very different features than my 2 year old "Real Deal" (russett hide, red knits, nickel Talon zip, OD thread). This time around I opted for a 1756 repro, seal brown hide, dark berry knits, brass Conmar zip, "straw" colored thread. As with the first dealing with Aero was a pleasure and I love the jacket!
I also opted for unmatched hides and I love the grainy vs. smooth in places:
Here's the jacket when worn:
Now I'm just waiting for the weather to cool down so I can wear it out without melting!
