I finally received my Aero 1930's Slimfit Halfbelt in Cordovan CXFQQ yesterday. Ordered this back in September and have been patiently waiting for it arrive - I'm absolutely delighted with the outcome! It was made by Janice, one of Aero's newest machinists - her attention to detail and craft is legit! I went with the "wildcard" option for my Lochcarron tartan lining, as I wasn't fussed what tartan was used, as long as it was green! Now I just need to break this badboy in, I didn't consider how tough the leather would be on the nape of the neck and the inner elbows! Still absolutely buzzing about the colour of the Cordovan, it's unreal.

My sizes are down below.

That´s why I love CXL-HH. Congratulations! A very, very nice jacket and great fit too!

It arrived a day early! I’m going to write up this jacket. I think Aero outdid themselves. The color is very hard to describe. It def has more evergreen in it than the last batch. Full sun pics tomorrow so I can actually see what color it is. I purposely wore a blue shirt and black pants to try and capture it at least a little bit. Let me tell you. I AM IN LOVE!

I am not going to praise that jacket for I believe it brings bad luck. And I sincerely hope this will be your exit jacket, Tony

(If not: Can I have - umm - 3rd dips; or wherecer we stand right now...)

Great jacket and a pefect fit!
The leather has a nice, waxy shine and will look even better once broken in.
So keep it, wear it and enjoy it!

Great jacket and leather colour, that's what you want from cordovan, is it red or purple? IT'S BOTH!!! My Aero Bootlegger has too much brown in the cordovan but I might be over analysing.

Wearing the jacket in the rain will help soften up the CXL as well.

Lemme try the b&w thing! Cal Leathers and the best, heaviest, nicest, coolest pair of Harness' that I have seen. Angers me to no end there's no makers name anywhere on them because I want to buy three more pairs and I've no clue where to look. Dude I bought them from told me they were custom ordered from a shoemaker, somewhere in Germany. So if something happens to mine, that's it...

Cool. Boots looks like will stay for the next 300 years why in a hurry to buy 3 more. Death to the beltloops!

Yeah I didn't consider how much plum colour would come through in the Cordovan, it's really beautiful. Thanks for the tip, Scotland has it's fair share of rain to soften this jacket for me...
