Headwind Aero (Arlo) 18775 Premium Version

[Skyhawk]

For this version we went with a medium russet horsehide that was matched to the russet Aero in our collection. This is a lighter colored hide than the seal horsehide seen on the economy version. As many know, this contract was made in both medium russet and seal horsehide.

This version has an improved liner, and an authentic inspection stamp:

Correct pocket stitching and shape, large solid brass ring snaps that are anodized in the same shade as the original snaps:

New hook attachment that is a match to the original type and a big improvement over the Waldes hardware that is too thick and big:

High quality reproduction Talon M42 zipper

Price is $500

Wish I would have known when I ordered my Bronco Monday. You Arlo 46 is my size in that contract. I’ll still love the Bronco I am sure!

Wow! Jay, that looks fantastic. When will we see the premium Bronco?
Can't help but be excited about these jackets.

Wasn't a size/dimension chart posted at one time for Headwind?

There was never a chart posted. Much the same as many other makers. We work hard to get our patterns historically correct and we are not willing to just publish all our hard work and research.

I am always available to help with sizing and I will supply the numbers upon request for those interested in purchasing a jacket.

This jacket is our prototype so only one was made. We had to test out the hook setup and some other things. It came out great so there won't be any changes to the production model.

I have one guy that has been talking to me about purchasing it. If that falls through, it's all yours if you want it. You could return the Bronco and pay the difference for this Arlo if you wanted to do it. As long as I get the Bronco back un worn (Besides the try on of course).

Thanks so much!
The Bronco's, it will be probably be 6 weeks before they are done. The Crown zippers fell through for now but we will put our high quality Talon M-42's on it. These are super nice and still correct for the contract as the original Bronco's had the Talon M-42's as well as Crown ver. 1 & ver. 2.
