Spot on! Just like real life...seriously!!!

Insurrection/Thurston Bros. has only 14 September Aero production slots left available for North American customers...beat the Fall rush and get your custom Aero flight, Aero utility, or Aero motorcycle jacket by late September/early October!

I'm saying definitely not the sky blue. I reckon any of the other three would be good

 

[wdw]

The Waxy's a definite possible. If this is Aero, I'm down on Monday and will check It out. It would be nice to branch out.

Report back! Have a good trip. Jello here. Wish I could go too.

 

[Xenophon]

Not the sky blue, that's for sure. I'd go for the aqua or perhaps even better, the ocean. If you go extreme you might as well go the whole 9 yards and pick a hard-looking color.

 

[Sir Jacket]

I agree. Anything but the sky blue would work by looks of it. Will also report back when I receive samples.

 

[Sloan1874]

Yes, a jacket in Sky Blue would leave me feeling that I was being stared at, but for all the wrong reasons.

 

[ButteMT61]

Well, honestly, unless you're a big Dodgers fan, even the Ocean is too blue for me.

Sky blue would look good on a ladies jacket IMO.

I wholeheartedly agree! I'm thinking about one of these for myself...

On a slightly different note, cafe' racer jackets have been a big seller going into this Fall! The favorites include a number of different brands at varied price points...

Cafe' racers are great to match a beautiful bike like this--

...or, just wear out on the town. For example, the PCL British Racer ($459.99 USD)--

Vanson Model B ($599.99 USD)--

Vanson Model B "House" ($599.99 USD) *We only have this left in 40, 46, and 48, but we're expecting a new shipment in September!--

Vanson Comet PLU-3 ($599.99 USD)--

Aero Sonoma Racer ($1099.99 USD)--

Aero Fontana Racer ($1099.99 USD)--

In blue, the Aero Sonoma and Fontana Racers are absolutely beautiful! Aero Fontana Racer in Ocean Blue, historic Conmar main zipper ($1099.99 USD)--

 

[ButteMT61]

Blue to match the Thruxton would rock. But I said before a riding jacket is a different beast.
And yes, the lighter blue would look great on the gals.

 

[Xenophon]

On a side note: do any of you who own this type of jacket actually use the ****** pocket(s)? To me they seem unpractical especially with a stiff leather and fitting jacket. I also think Vanson have the better design here with their assymmetrical 1 pocket setup. But of course the aeros can be customized.

 

[ButteMT61]

I've had them over the years, tight fitting too. I put driver's license and paper money in them. Old days even a small map. Paper map lolMy Ventura fits like that, when not zipped up tight, I put the iPhone in there. No issues at all - quite usable.

Carrie,
Can the PCL 2 pocket cafe jacket be ordered in brown?

Carrie,

While the PCL colors and blacks are strong, the browns aren't top notch in terms of looks (i.e. marbled, lots of character, great grain, etc.). Vanson is having the same trouble right now, without being able to source their Octagon Brown. In short, an Aero through us is going to be your best bet for a brown cafe' racer.

I really like the look of the PCL British Racer. What sort of hide is it?

The PCL jackets are made from buffalohide...we really like the grain and character of the leather!
