Wow, look at those sleeves. Beautiful.

I also think the fit looks good with the layers you have.

Speaking of which, what kind of vest of that? Looks great

Thank you. It's a denim vest from 'Blaumann Jeanshosen' - a small german brand.

Wow that’s nice. I love the browns and the character belongs on stage!

Just to be clear, and so I don’t wander around today hoping I haven’t offended, I mean the character of that incredible leather, which to me looks to be my holy grail.

As others have said, lovely aging here! What are the two types of leather used?

Actually, I'd take it as a compliment if you'd have meant I belong on stage! But the leather thanks you anyhow.

@Cornelius the leathers used are Horween black & brown CXL FQHH.

I was actually wondering if you still had that jacket and how it looked now, seems you hadn't posted in a long time.
It really looks amazing, you did well.

Marc you have a nice jacket and it fits you really well though to me this isn’t an Aero. The stitching, zip etc. I think this is a later iteration after the Aero x LVC collaboration ended. Does the tag still say UK made?

The released 'grey' LVC halfbelt which looks like this was from the season after the Aero jacket when they took the leathers in house. From memory, when I fell down the hole of LVC research, I think it was 2004 date wise and the jacket's were made in Turkey.

Great jacket and photos. Hooray for leather jackets on the beach!

SJC wool Halfbelt. I had actually legitimately forgotten about buying this jacket and was moving heavy winter coats to the basement this AM and found this gem buried in the back of the foyer closet. It’s a perfect substitute for a day when you need no more than a sweater.

Just took my 618 out of the box this morning. I am pretty happy with the fit so I removed the tags. The steerhide is rather stiff. My chest measures 44 these days and I went with a 44 this time. So far it works great on the bike, but it needs some serious break in. I had red marks on my arms after a quick 30 minute ride. I hope to do a little size and leather comparison with my size 46 618hh.

Thanks, friend. We've sure tried our best to get that patina going.

That looks fantastic. Reminds me of my 618 when I first got it, over 8 years ago. First time putting it on... Ain't nothing like it. Enjoy breaking 'er in!

Would love to see some pics if you ever get the chance. Love the wear on your J106! Awesome man.
