Griffin I ended up using Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP, and this jacket drank that stuff up FAST! Not too much color change, but a very noticeable change in the health of the leather.

Aero pre-war Irvin in minus 13c, last week after playing with kids in snow:  Hat knittet by GF, Gustin IxI, some modern shoes and mittens. I was a little hangover and you can see that on my face. |

Irvin looks great and also nice and warm. Would like one at some point.
When we get into our Minnesota subzero temps I have to put the leather away for warmer options. I believe the Irvin would take on the frigid temps.
We had -8F last week but has warmed up now. Cooling off soon though. Sunday supposed to be a high of -2F -13F low.

Yeah thats -8F where im standing. We use to get -13F but not yet this year. Now today all the snow is gone....wierd.
If you have those temps I would not hesitate getting an Irvin. Its very cosy, but be sure to not get a too short one (they are very short as standard since they are made for sitting in a plane) I requested some extra length to mine to be able to wear a sweater without it sticking out.

I've got an Aero Stockman that is about 5 years old. It fits a little big on me now, but it still fits very well over a warm wool sweater. So it works well as a winter coat, but maybe not the most stylish this I own. I'm rather smitten with the new Aero August. I'm not sure if I'm the market for another, though.  |

I mainly use mine for winter too. Nothing wrong with that! |

His history in the jacket world is pretty much the top of the top. Good to know what you got, and that's cool that you're going to be there too! I just picked up another Lost Worlds jacket, and will get up some pics this weekend. Jackets are lots of fun, but it's been ~90ºf here and not much time to wear one lately... |

You're in the 90's already? I'm on a subtropical island, and the best I'm getting is high of low 70's.....

I wish... I wish I had never started looking at the Aero website. That will be a very expensive buy.

Once you get started, it's pretty tough to quit. But if you don't have one bespoke jacket, you owe yourself at least one to enjoy. *** Do your research. As any of the jacket guys will tell you, it's a very difficult thing to acquire your "grail" jacket - esp in one shot. One of the best places is thefedoralounge.com. Many of us here are members there as well. |

OK, here's an interesting one - Aero is making a leather Western Shirt (sorta like the old leather moto racing shirts) I must admit, I'm intrigued...  |

It reminds me of a Levis shirt. Did Aero make one like this under/for the Levis leathers brand before?

Crazy that I'm sure this will come out cheaper than the $887 Indigofera nubuck shirt.....  |
