Lovely! How bulky is the alpaca lining?
Arrived this week, Black CXL Steer Cheyenne with Alpaca lining.

Thanks! I have an cxlsh original Hercules in the works, had wanted melton lining, but the folks at aero thought it would be too thick. They’ve suggested the corduroy which I’m sure would be fine as well.Thank you! Not overly bulky, rather on the thinner side, not at all comparable to a Deck Jacket lining for example. But it though feels way warmer than the cotton or Tartan lining.
Corduroy is a fantastic option. Super warm, soft and unbelievably comfortable.Thanks! I have an cxlsh original Hercules in the works, had wanted melton lining, but the folks at aero thought it would be too thick. They’ve suggested the corduroy which I’m sure would be fine as well.
I think Greg leaving them is starting to benefit the current Aero customers now. Healthy competition is not a bad thing. Now we just have to get their small collar widened to ROW standards... Unfortunately Greg's is also running on the small collar pattern...I really like that they are now finishing the thin end of the pockets with a double stich that is symmetrical, it looks much better than what they used to do when i ordered mine a few years ago.
Aero melton is thick. My best guess is 18 to 21 oz, like Filson jac shirt thick. The Herc is some what slim pattern and no action pleats. Corduroy is the better option on that Aero pattern.Thanks!

Looks great! Was it warm?
I'll guess door two for the WIN!
I’m guessing door 2 as well.

Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. That hop life doesn’t come easy.Bingo. I really wasn't planning on buying yet another jacket but when I put on this Double Helix 'Bounty Hunter' car coat I didn't even have to look in the mirror to know it was perfect.
I especially love the playfulness of the westen style pockets.
About the RMC Buco J31, that jacket was literally choking me. And I wasn't even sitting down.
