Received my first Aero Premier Half Belt two weeks ago. Really happy with how it turned out, and the front quarter horsehide is getting softer with each wear. Only nitpick I had with the ordering process was that I was originally quoted 8-10 weeks, but didn't receive my jacket until the 16th week.
I did notice this broken thread yesterday (see below) and wanted opinions on whether or not this would impact the structural integrity of the jacket. I have only worn the jacket 6-8 times and I normally don't wear my clothes hard, so seeing this surprised me. I tried my best getting a picture (it's at the shoulder seam). I would contact Aero, but they're out until Monday. Opinions from those more knowledgeable than me would be appreciated!
Other than the broken thread I am really happy with how this turned out. Already planning my next jacket - thinking of a custom Bootlegger with the "Sunburst" pattern on the back. Assuming they're able to accommodate that, of course.
How does the junya cafe racer fit? Solid 38 chest, would I be looking at a medium or in true junya fashion a L or xL? Also if anyone has one for sale..
how would you even go about searching for that on y!jp auctions? that is probably the perfect moto, imo.
Update! so that Junya moto jacket just came today and fit is spot on for me. They only thing is it's like a waxed, crackled cotton NOT leather. That probably explains why is was like 200 bucks. Doh :-/ Size M is 20.5" pit-to-pit, 18" shoulder. The leather versions are probably thicker and maybe less pliable, but that's the ballpark sizing. I think diniro has an M in the double rider version. @diniro
Gong, you probably need XL if they make that size. Or maybe LA Guy will reinstate that Vanson project and you can get it made to your size.
I saw the large on yjp, been considering it, but the sleeves sound long.Update! so that Junya moto jacket just came today and fit is spot on for me.

Can you layer in the medium or only wear a tee? I figure I could swing an M, but mostly concerned with armholes; i can wear a 46 in a 5zip but the armholes cut my circulation off.
Hi all,
I am so attempted by Aero leather jackets. I am still thinking about the style and the leather type. I just have one question: what is the best way to get one Aero jacket in US now?
Should I book one from Aero directly? Will this have [COLOR=444444]import duties?[/COLOR]
[COLOR=444444]Or should I contact Thurston bros which seems to be the only source providing lots of options in US?[/COLOR]
[COLOR=444444]Any comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks.[/COLOR]
