Hello
Nothing special about my 3 months old standard Aero’s FQHH Hwym in black with brass hardware (also there are a lot of pictures about Aero Leather Jackets in this forum). Why I’m adding still some pics? Because a ‚special‘ feature, made by mistake, jacket has. Originally jacket was sold without an inside pocket. So I ordered a prepared inside pocket from Aero directly to add it tailor made. Against my order, tailor added inside pocket by a mistake on wrong side (right side - for a right-hander) and too low! First I was very frustrated about these flaws.
Now I’m very happy with!
Why? Usually for a right-hander, inside pocket is on left side. But for my use, I need inside pocket only to tuck my cell phone. Therefore inside pocket on right side is just perfect. Because I can grab phone with my left hand. As a right-hander, I’m holding my cell phone in use at my left hand/ear to do some manipulations with my right hand. Also the lower position (about 1-1/2“ lower than standard) allowed a much more easy grabbing. I have handled dozens of Aeros and always felt using a standard inside pocket (I’m not talking about a G-1 style) is very tricky (too high and too deep) to grab a phone timely while it ring.
Btw: If you have in mind to resole some RW's (or other boots) check out my post here: (got my RW's 875 resoled with a VIBRAM 1276 Sierra Unit Rubber Full Sole - nice cobbler craftsmanship!)
