How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Kunja]

Jacket looks good on you but is a slightly odd oval shape. More in the front than back I think. Might settle in as it’s worn. Nice looking leather!

Are you sure it's more than 24?

I think the KOTR is Aero's version of the Herc 3.0 with added passenger hand warmers to differentiate it enough from their other motorcycle jackets that looks similar.

Please do a review HH. This is the one that got away from me. Every KOTR jacket I've seen has the J106 front and not the original front.

I think JMax and TMitchell has all three versions...

I don't know why the Hercs are not as popular as the Bucos.

Maybe it's the angle how the pic was taken but on my screen it doesn't look like the tape measure goes from left to right in a straight line. Also, at Aero they probably measured the jacket while zipped up.

If that's indeed the case then those wide upper sleeves are true to original.

This is my Herc and the sleeves on it are HUGE.

Like others have mentioned, it's probably just the stiff steerhide that needs to settle.

Here it is, a OK jacket, don't understand why the upper sleeve is so big, entire jacket is like oval shape instead of inverted triangle beqof those huge upper sleeve. Weigh 8 lbs but it is same thickness as my highwayman.
Also, can somebody explain to me why it has 25 pit to pit while I request no more than 24!!????
I also asked full hem protect, they forgot to do it.....

To me this looks a size too large. You should’ve ordered a 40” (I assume this is a 42”). This is a 50’s pattern. So it would fit identically to the HWM and 50’s HB deluxe but with a much sharper waist taper. I assume the HB deluxe and the HWM are a 40”?

I would have posted this in the deals thread… but I ended up buying it even though it’s very possibly too small for me.

Aero listed Ken’s own original wartime AN-6552, fully restored, in the used/clearance section.

Just took another shot, everything seems perfect, not sure what happened before…..

I dig it and the tweaks to the design Aero did for you.

No Belt and no lapel snaps and no epaulets

That’s it. And no studwork.

I agree with Ton, that's too big mate, it makes you look like an egg...

The 10%-off Aeros are coming in! I ordered this Montgomery approx 1 month ago, Black jerky HH.

It’s a Highwayman with different front pocket configuration and no lower band. If you like the Highwayman fit this is a good option. The black jerky (regular) is quite nice and thick but soft. Very easy wearing. I didn’t go for the extra grain option but tbh is already pretty grainy as is with natural stretch marks on the back etc.

Actually the hem looks good, maybe it is the blousy cut? A size smaller and the hem is too tight...

Stunning jacket! Great fit and a great look on you. I’ve been very tempted to have one of these made up in a heavy steer. A couple of years ago, I picked up an old Montgomery off of EBay that was a beautiful chestnut brown, and I believe Denny said it was Alaskan Steerhide. Amazing hide and jacket. Stated measurements were way off in the seller’s listing, I was SO sad that it ended up being at least 2” too short for me.

Great looking jacket. I used to own a vintage piece with that pocket style that I picked up from Ton. Classic look, but a little bit different than the run of the mill. I had no idea aero was building these.

 

[Schambach]

Couldn't help myself, just ordered my first custom Aero. Original Herc, brown CXLSH, melton wool lining. Hopefully it'll be a bit warmer and heavier than what I have now...
