Bitingly cold today, but not for the Aero Merino Irvin.

Speaking of sheep... does anyone have a slider that might fit this ? Doesn't have to be authentic, just need to zip it up for warmth, it's an odd old bitsa anyway.

Don't know if it can help but I'm in contact with a ETSY seller based in HK , I bought him some vintage soles . After some talks about "old stuff" and ...vintage leather jackets he told me that he has some zippers . You can see them here :https://www.vintageleatherjackets.o...r-with-your-flight-jacket-s.20971/post-503059 . Then if you are interested I can share is contact .

It’s colder today than it was yesterday, so it’s time to escalate things!

I'm convinced that one day in the not-so-distant future, folks will be posting pics of Jan in his jackets like we post pics of McQueen, Newman, etc nowadays.

So today was a special day for me. Got to have lunch with one of our VLJ members and a friend . Had lunch with @YoungMedic at our favorite spot, Mission BBQ. We both wore some awesome jackets . Here’s mine a GW Acme circa 2010 with an authentic Crown Zip.

Beautiful Aero and fit. That skin and color in daylight is really impressive!

Burt, How do you find dealing with an original chevron Crown? I have one aside NOS and it's going to go on an Aero in 2025.

Burt, this gem is glorious. Another one of those ‘need look no further’ fits too.

Awesome stuff dude.

Hi Dany
Good to hear from you as always.
I’m alway conscious of the potential of Crown Zips to have problems, so I’m always mindful of seating the male end of the zip and if it doesn’t work the first time, to re seat it and to be gentle with it and not pull to hard on the puller. As a matter of fact I mentioned to @YoungMedic how I was always careful when zipping up the jacket. So the Crown has been working well over the years and hopefully will continue to do so.

Thanks for the kind words CK.

Nice looking denim as well, Burt!

Thank you Grant . They are Gustin Selvedge denim’s and I’ve had them for a while now and I just can’t seem to develop a beginning fade with them . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
