Cordovan horsehide...

Holy shizznet. Wow.

Mention this jacket on the Alden thread and Good Night Nurse to your inventory!

Freaking beautiful.

On edit: Whoops.I didn't read further down prior to posting.

Maybe it should have merely said "Oxblood"... Beautiful still.

Mike, what will be customizable with the Aero leathers? Will shoulder width, waist width, sleeve length, etc. all be customizable? If so, consider me very interested!

@Wanderlust ah sorry, these are MTO, not MTM. So it's really just (1) odd and even sizes through a large range (2) body length and (3) sleeve length in terms of fitting. They can't modify the pattern for shoulder or waist, so you'd need to generally fit into our stuff. Leather does mold and break in though, so small fit issues that would be a problem on a sportcoat can get quickly resolved with wear.

And then of course you can style it with your choice of leather, liner, zippers, and hardware. We've got our own fit on this jacket that runs consistent with our shirts, sportcoats, and other stuff. Pricing will be $1100 for horsehide, a bit more on CXL, a bit less on suede, and about a 6-12 week turnaround for delivery.

@Epaulet any pics of the suede slip-ons? I'm really excited about these.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification! I'm a small in EP in everything but the shoulders, so was hoping that this would be full MTM. Beautiful jackets, though - I'm sure they'll be super popular!

Anyone have thoughts on buttons for the grey hopsack, as a Dartmouth, worn primarily as a sportcoat rather than a suit? I'm leaning toward tan horn.

I ordered the same Dartmouth cut for a hopsack jacket (but in navy), so I think it's a great idea! I'm not a fan of Southwick's horn buttons so what I'm about to say with a grain of salt:

The hopsack is a mid-grey so It kind of depends on how casual you want it and I think the higher contrast of tan buttons is going to stand out and be more casual than a typical brown. If it were a lighter grey in a a warm-weathered fabric like cotton or linen, then the jacket will come off "summery." However, since the grey hopsack is a mid-grey then the contrast with the buttons will stand out more and draw focus to otherwise non-attention-worthy buttons.

If you'll pardon my suggestion, I have grey jacket with smoke mother of pearl buttons and it's awesome.

Spring/Summer Trouser fabrics look great!

Highly recommended any of the REDA Hopsacks. I have the light grey 8400. They are very lightweight and perfect for the hottest of days.

^ I already have a pair of light grey fresco trousers and med-grey tropical wool not sure if I should get the sunset, dove grey, or medium grey hopsack...decisions...

 

[boxdok]

Do you'll still plan on offering a double rider version on the Aero leathers. I think a rough out or suede double rider would be nice.

 

[CLTesquire]

I have the Reda Hopsack in swatch 8402 (sunset) and 8404 (champagne...from last year). They are both excellent. I have medium grey and midnight blue in Hertling's fresco (swatch 8291 and 8294 ... @Epaulet offers light grey, the blue, and a brown in that fabric) but am considering getting the REDA in those colors. In my opinion there's a significant difference between the two fabrics in terms of weight and hand to justify both. Both are breathable but the REDA is softer and a bit more cooler wearing. It also appears that the REDA navy (8403) is a good amount lighter in color than the fresco (8294).

Yeah I'm definitely going to pick up the Old Gold POW check, though the charcoal is pretty cool too. As well I'm definitely getting the Stone Egyptian Kyber Cloth. I was really hoping that Hertling would drop a white/off-white fabric for spring this year. I had a old pair of white chinos from BB but they bit the dust last year when I ripped the ass open on my car door.

@Epaulet do many guys buy trousers and elect to have them finished before shipping? I had been buying them unfinished and taking them to the tailor. Can you ask for them to be cuffed? Can the cuffs width be specified?
