New jacket: Aero Sheene crossed with Aero Highwayman

[Will Zach]

my wife looked a bit worried yesterday when I had the jacket on inside our flat

That is an absolutely normal Fedora Lounge behavior.

Absolutely, she will probably have to draw the line if you try to wear the jacket to bed though.

What exactly surprise you? Actually Holly never said "we won't do that" so it was quite easy to get all this mods done. I just was unsure how it would look like at the end as I have never ordered such a jacket
At the moment I am just happy with the jacket as it is and am looking for every opportunity to wear it - my wife looked a bit worried yesterday when I had the jacket on inside our flat

When I ordered my jacket thru Thurston Bros, it was my understanding that Aero might be very reluctant to add the Highwayman mods to a Sheene design. From what I've heard, Aero has a limit as to what they'll accept in modifications to their standard patterns, and this just might be pushing their comfort zone. All I wanted was the streamline modern fit of a Sheene, with some of the classic Highwayman details (but without the boxiness.)
Thankfully it all worked out. And I think these two jackets turned out very successfully. Hopefully, we'll see more in this vein.

This is a beautiful looking jacket, very belated congratulations!

May I ask how tall you are and body weight?

Thank you.

Thank you for the explications! Fortunately you ordered already (and Aero made it) I just pointed Holly to your post and there was never a rejection. She was very helpful and supported the ordering process in a great way.

I'm afraid it's already too late for him, he's already showing TFL symptoms: Wearing a jacket inside the house. 1 jacket might not be enough to get him cured

^^ now that you mention it he definitely needs a brown one. . . .

I am sure I will need a brown leather jacket (sooner or later) as I have also brown boots - black and brown doesn't match well I have heard...

TFL effect truly remains undefeated haha good luck with your next brown jacket project.
