Eastman "Slender" A-2, easiest wearing jacket I own, more like a windbreaker but such a nice leather.
The panels are mismatched, some with much more grain than others but it gives the jacket more character and personality.
If I can keep slim enough to fit in it, this one will stay with me for the long run.
Beautiful jacket! And worn very well by you CC. Looks great.View attachment 112817 View attachment 112818 View attachment 112819 View attachment 112820
Perspectives and musings on an Aero horsehide jacket. With the type of aging on this leather it has to be from the 80's. The previous owner must have stood in the rain for the type of cracking on the shoulders and collar it shows. One day, maybe, I'll send her to Aero to have the back yoke and front collar panels replaced with tumbled seal or some such for a two tone look. I do love this jacket.

I’ve seen forum members, Vanson shots, and Thurston pics and based on how much people love it I feel like it doesn’t photograph as well as it truly looks in person.New arrival from Austin, Texas.

I'm sorry but I just find some photos in this thread kind of comical. Anyone else? I suppose I am the only one who sees the humor, but it is good to laugh even if sometimes it's at yourself.![]()
When my wife asks "what are you looking at?" I sometimes lie.
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. It's not a ****** site yet if most people asked what i was looking at on the computer I'd probably lie.
