Not sure and not really bothered by it. How are you determining it is dyed through? I did not look at the zip pulls and side cinch leather, but that may indeed be dyed through black I will need to take a closer look. I have bought quite a few new aeros. Leather is nothing like my other black vic jacket i just got from them. Feels more like my previous cxl jackets. Leather is beautiful whatever it is and i am pleased. That is all that matters to me.

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

There are several zipper pulls and leather laces right there that are clearly black. Black CXL has a brown core that is finished with a black pigment.
I’ve also never heard of Aero making the jacket in the wrong leather. If they did such a thing, I’d imagine it ends up in the sale section, with the jacket remade in the correct hide.
Different batches of leather will vary. When it comes to Vicenza, there have been quite stiff, CXL-like batches, extremely scrotal grainy batches, etc.
Yes think you are correct based on zip pulls etc. good call. Either way i am happy. Always love “scrotal” used to describe something but it is true lol
Looks terrific!
I have been eyeing this jacket on their site.
I would love to see some fit shots if you have a chance please

50’s era suede HB. Thankfully the sellers measurements were entirely off and in my favor.
After 5 too small jackets in a row, all it takes is one good fit, glance in the mirror and….
15% chance became 100% success!

It’s always the ones I’m sure will fit that won’t and vice versa. I was due for a win!

Thank you, the flannel is from UES
yours is at the balance state between new and faded, I think it looks best. I did wear my denim jacket under leather jacket for some time when I thought they look boring, perhaps that what contributed to the sleeve fading on my type 3 but I found the cuff button and perhaps also the seam construction of the denim jacket sleeve was too harsh for my jacket liner material, perhaps I can try to wear it under another denim jacket

The jacket fits too well to give it to other hands

Years ago, I believe there was a dust up at aero when some HH CXL Jackets were actually made with steerhide and/or a combo of both. I believe apologies were made...
Yeah I mentioned that earlier. When the founders of Simmons Bilt were the management at Aero, they used to upcharge for CXL horse and then make the jacket out of CXL steer. The Simmons guy actually doubled down on the practice in his trial, lol.
actually why don't we combine several different leathers into one jacket? strong hide on the outer side of the sleeve, softer hide on the inner side, firmer leather on the front and back panel, softer leather on the side panel, maybe extra thick leather for the belt and patch pockets, if the tanning method is similar and the color is standard wouldn't it become a versatile jacket
This isn't unheard of. Canuck has done this on a few jackets; I'm doing it on a jacket I have on the way.
