About This Jacket:

This jacket is a typical Aero (with details like square pockets and the box stitching of the epaulettes), though I don't know the actual contract number. It has several details which show Aero didn't worry too much about complete uniformity of the leather used in their jackets. There are mismatched leather pieces, with the sleeves, pockets, and other parts being darker than the body. The sewing also shows signs of oddities, but overall it's a very solid jacket, with original cuffs. It has a brass Talon zipper, and I believe this is a reproduction label.
