If not the identical leather, the same company's leather, and the jacket that got the discussion going some time back;

Found your old photos of the leather swatches. Thanks.
Now if only I could find somebody I trust to make an A1 that is willing to get that leather.

That's the hide I think that will bring the blues brothers out here. It's just a tough one to go out of the browns and black, so it has to be just right. This one looks like the one I'd choose, FWIW.

I need a swatch of that if possible. I've heard BK say it's tough to get, so is there any way to get some for us here to look at Carrie?

Totally, and yes, they are. Mike - would it look odd if we met up both wearing blue leather jackets? lol

I do trust Aero, but not a big fan of their A1 design as shown on their web site.

I'm usually with you, but that A-1 they made for Thurston for the ladies was excellent. Maybe not "A-1 accurate" but I'm merely looking for the style as I doubt there were blue ones anyways. If you know what I mean.

Aero has already been in contact with Badalassi. The tannery will be open again in September. What Insurrection / Thurston Bros. would like to do for our North American customers is to take purchases now with an $800.00 deposit. During August, we will fit you and make sure all your details on your favorite Aero style to be made in Badalassi Petrolio are specified to your liking. All orders will be dependent on Badalassi Petrolio hide sample approval. If you don't like the Badalassi hide sample, your deposit will be refunded. As far as prices go, there is a $100.00 USD upcharge for Badalassi leather. Please call us at (206) 550-3545 to order your Aero jacket in Badalassi Petrolio!

First thing I thought of was Amelia. It looks damn good. If I met some girl online via cyber chat wearing that A-1 and was only allowed a picture with her in that jacket (without a face in it), I'd strongly consider marrying first and asking questions later.
