Just home from a very long and sun drenched vacation in my favorite place on earth, Union Pier MI. Thanks to @nick123, I have this unbelievably nice Aero (modified) original Herc in blk/brown vic. What a jacket!!! Serious heft, beautiful grain…I could not have drawn up a better fit if I tried. I am over the moon. All the mods are exactly as I’d want them. This is an exit piece. There’s little left for me to get after. Aero has really out done themselves on this and my wool jacket. The repro vs original see saw balance has tipped yet again.
I have attempted to recreate @jonesy86 epic catalog photo below. LOL. I actually might need a legit fedora. Oh the humanity.

Thanks man!How soon?
Sweet Columbia btw.
Thanks man!
I think it will be ready within the next few weeks? I put deposit down at end of January and they estimated about 6 months. Aiming for a trimmer fit this time around, going to be a very different jacket from this one.
Early morning marine layer lately, so I can get some light jacket wear in until about 10 am. And Lucchese ropers. Picked up these worn once pair yesterday for a nice price View attachment 441122 . My new rabbit hole has opened. Now need some proper boot cut jeans. It never ends.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. I was overcome by a sudden wave of nostalgia for cooler weather, so I am wearing TWO today (indoors, lol):
Spiegel

Yes, I noticed that too. Spiegel is a bit more boxy/blousy, innit? Kit looks more....elegant? if that's the right word. Love them both.Hard to beat the fit throughout the body of the primo Boston-area makers. And more often than not, they are a bit longer.
A chance to bust out the Buco J24 today.
Thanks a lot mate - the real tragedy is that this jacket is unfortunately way cooler than I will ever be hahaThat looks properly cool!
