"Highwayman" - Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide
The original and legendary Aero Leather "Highwayman". Often copied but never equalled.
Made using the very best of materials which sets an Aero Highwayman apart from its clones. Since 1986, when we first acquired the old style chrome tanned heavy American front quarter horsehide, we have strived to honour the styling and techniques of US manufacturers from the mid- 1900's.
Our tannery has produced this leather using same tried and tested methods for 100 years, hence our use of this horsehide as first choice for Aero, every time!
Available in a choice of SIX colours using American Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide: Black (illustrated), Brown, Cordovan, Cherry, Vintage Black and Vintage Brown. Lined in imported Alpaca Wool . Other Linings available on request.
Whatever the body choice, the sleeves are lined in cotton drill for ease of wear with storm cuffs . The two deep hand-warmer pockets are lined in heavy cotton for durability, as is the zip breast pocket, which completes the classic look. The back features two -panel back sections: a shallow "V" shaped yolk being the only design feature on the back.
The strap and brass buckle side adjusters ensure a snug fit at the waist. As with most Aero jackets we use our brass "Aero" centre zipper. The sleeves are finished off with a traditional American style cuff. The overall effect of this hybrid jacket has proved popular with both sexes due to its easy on the eye and non pretentious styling.
