Aero Type III - after about a month in residence, the Type III is really showing it's transformation from new born to a more mature jacket as referenced in the attached images. Sorry the images aren't of the quality that so many posters on this forum submit but they give an idea of how the jacket has progressed. I did some inside & outside shots since the sunlight seems to make the color pop vice the more subdued indoor shots. The fit (to me) is nearly ideal - it is hard to capture the true essence of this really special jacket in images but those who've experienced the Aero Type III in person know it's very special indeed.

Copper buttons, contrast stitching, red tab, substantial horsehide, great pattern. Yeah you did well on this one. Congrats. I love my Aero Type III too.

I’m JEALOUS. Very JEALOUS. I’d much prefer this to the leather version. What a score!
Finally gambling with the sizing paid off. I can’t believe I paid 40€ plus shipping(~27€) for it and I like it better than any of my other super expensive leather jackets which I have to move.

I can see it being my go to jacket. It’s so comfortable!

This just may be the first real fall day here where I get to wear a jacket all day.
Well sort of, it's supposed to be about 78°f with a wind chill.

I decided to go with the CCS vest and recently acquired vintage Wrangler today.

The right side collar area has this weird thing going on that I just can't correct for some reason, I tried ironing it but it's like a cow lick that just won't stay down.
I guess it was probably stored that way for 30 years or something.

Any suggestions on fixing the " cowlick " collar area on this vintage Wranglers?
This jacket only cost me $51 shipped and is a great beater at that price , but knowing it has that " cowlick " going on bugs me.
