17 Years of hard wear

[Ken at Aero Leather]

That one is only 5 years old, give me another decade or so :>)

It’s a beaut.

A lot of the credit goes to one of our Heriot Watt graduates, Toni Hogarth, who made it, this was only her second jacket after completing her Aero apprenticeship. She's now one of our most valued machinists

Nice. That hide would make a sweet A2.

 

[Silver Surfer]

aw, datsa nice, boss. real nice.

 

[blackrat2]

That’s a cracking looking jacket for sure

That first A-2 is my “it” jacket. I could settle down with it, buy a little bit of land, maybe have a family. I’d make an honest jacket out of it.

The title of this thread could easily be interchanged with the word “marriage.” Think about it.

I've been clearing my laptop of old files, just came across this shot of my A-2 from about four years ago, it's darken a tad since unless the strong Scottish sunlight had made it look paler in this shot.View attachment 1933

That's a beautiful jacket! I just got mine with the same Horween Vermont Horsehide (also from Aero Leather UK)
I am hoping mine would look as good as yours one day!
Update us on the patina!
