I Reached The FINAL Boss Of Leather Jackets | Aero Leather Type 3

[@capycapy8920]

500 for a fully custom jacket is an insane deal tbh

[@nobody-bt7mu]

I think so too!

[@JamesLeung]

Yeah I was hesitant at first but then I realised just how crazy of a good deal it was!!

[@suite404]

I second that!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jaewannjoseph]

It's amazing. I bought my banana Republic one for the same price but it isn't custom nor is it as beautiful as this one.. wow 🤌🏾

[@tuii9896]

Aero and Lewis are two of those manufacturers having significantly high quality products (resulted in both the aesthetics and leather hides), i believe

[@UnimportantAcc]

I've gotta say, Scotland & Ireland seem to be the home of authentic quality goods with still sensible prices. It's nice to know you can still find proper clothes out there. Lovely jacket mate, I think you chose really well with the design, fits you perfect too 👍 I think I'd need those hand warmer pockets tho 😂

[@JamesLeung]

Totally agree with you, there’s so much good quality clothing still made there. Especially woollen stuff. Haha I think a lot of people will agree with you about the handwarmer pockets. I have to admit it feels strange at first with no where to rest your hands. Thanks for watching!

[@FedeDiver1]

As someone who has been living in Ireland for 10 years (in the capital) I strongly disagree, options are very limited, not cheap, and it’s a struggle even to have to order stuff from abroad, being an island…as a matter of fact, I do the bulk of my shopping when I go back to Southern Europe, and this is common among expats…I’m sure is different in the UK though, or at least in England

[@lukefarrell1453]

@@FedeDiver1 yeah Ireland isn’t good for shopping

[@guicbenites]

Wow the Aero jacket is perfection! Being a shorter guy I always have a hard time finding leather jackets that fit me. The fact that they custom make it for your size is incredible. Ordering one right now!

[@guicbenites]

Built one the exact same as yours haha! Thanks for the inspiration! That dark brown is just beautiful!

[@JamesLeung]

That’s great to hear, let me know what it’s like when it arrives! I love mine so much!

[@UIMGodzilla]

That slim fit is fire, might have to recreate the best I can, thanks for the inspiration James.

[@JamesLeung]

Glad you liked it man, thanks for watching!

[@suite404]

This is your best vid to date!! This type of find is gold and has now elevated you to GOAT status bro!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@JamesLeung]

Wow thank you man!! Glad you liked it 😀

[@Nowaypoway]

I’ve watched hundreds of videos to do with leather jacket try one etc and yours is by far the best! Even how you style it, is top tier

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@naomi_lyon]

Ooooooo . . .That looks like both a splendid and unique jacket. Looks really fab on you too 👌 Thanks for yet another highly instructive video! I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a long time now for my right leather jacket, I'll definately check out that link 😘

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you!! Glad you like it, let me know if you end up getting one!

[@dixcn]

Ty for the sauce, jacket looks insane and it's a UK company

[@JamesLeung]

Yeah not many UK companies making custom leather jackets these days. Thanks for watching!

[@colmcgillveray1010]

@@JamesLeung Scottish.

[@the_CHAR_official]

No freaking way what a beautiful jacket. I remember you mentioning you wanted a leather jacket a few videos back and I suggested horsehide and you managed to find one. Amazing!

[@JamesLeung]

Your comment and others peoples advice made me realise that horsehide is one of the best. So pleased to have found one! Thanks for watching man

[@Imnathgriff]

Looooove the cut of this mate, the length is perfect!!

[@JamesLeung]

Cheers Nath 😊

[@rorykavanagh2603]

I've got 2 Aero jackets and I love the brand for all the reasons you've outlined. Your's suits you incredibly well and being the trucker style you will be able to wear it forever. I have two Highwayman jackets, one in black CXLFQHH that I purchased brand new in 2021 and another in brown Steerhide I picked up 2nd hand which is 30+ years old. Apart from a slightly dated lining on the older jacket it's in incredible condition and fits like a glove. I'm sure they'll both outlive me

[@JamesLeung]

Sounds great. I can’t wait to see what mine will look like in 30 years. An heirloom piece for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@nickvangopoulosphotography6921]

Nice jacket ! I have 2 Aero's and 2 Thedi Jackets. Best leather jacket makers no question. Beats all the over priced fashion garbage out there.

[@JamesLeung]

Which Aero jackets do you have? I’m tempted to get another haha 🤣

[@HarryHas]

Love this style of video man and I’d not heard of the brand. Really cool

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks mate!

[@DeepFriedDoom]

I've been to the Aero factory in Galashiels. The people there are very nice blokes, always answering questions enthusiastically and were never dismissive, even after they found out I wasn't going to buy anything. They just like making jackets and talking about leather.

[@JamesLeung]

That’s great to hear. I’d love to go there one day! Do you think you’ll buy something from them eventually?

[@monsieurj9372]

omg i have the exact same jacket and i didn’t had an idea of what outfit i could use with it

[@integra407]

Wow! I'm really surprised to see aero on more fashion forward youtube channels. Usually it is more to a very specific crowd. I've got one of their highwayman styles and I love it. You're right about construction and everything. Even at it's non discounted price, the quality you get is much better than other brands at the same price point. This is similar to field leathers also up in scotland. Lovely piece. Youre making me want one another type 3 now too 🤣🤣 also glad you mentioned sugar cane in one of your previous videos, I love americana and the style around it so this type of videos are just my favorite.

[@JamesLeung]

Can’t beat quality classics, they will always be in fashion! The highwayman jacket is beautiful - how long have you had it? Haha you can never have too many type 3 jackets, I’m even tempted to get another one in black but I must resist (for now!!). The Sugar Cane Type 2 is a stunning piece, I’m really fortunate to have found it for so cheap. Thanks for watching!

[@Potatoskinman]

I’m 90% sure Aero specifically has permission from Levi’s to put the red tab on the pocket, as Aero has made jackets for Levi’s in the past. I wouldn’t cut it off. The coloured tab is trademarked by Levi’s, and they have literally sued other companies for using similar tabs on their clothing.

[@JamesLeung]

Ah yeah that makes sense!! I won’t be cutting it off 😊

[@Dylan28969]

This is incredible - I think I'll pick one up myself! Thank you for sharing the knowledge with everyone!

[@JamesLeung]

You won’t regret it!! Which one are you after? Hopefully they do another sale!

[@Richard_Lush]

Aero is fantastic. Got a 1930 1/2 belt in Cordovan CXL fits like a glove off the rack. I’m glad you found them. Looks good man!

[@JamesLeung]

That's a lovely looking jacket, hope you're enjoying it!

[@willt.9654]

Fully bespoke leather jacket for £500 is bonkers. It looks flawless on you dude.

[@JamesLeung]

Yeah it’s nuts! Makes you realise how much of a premium some brands are charging for ready made ones!

[@sservak276]

Amazing fit, you've nailed the measurements! Realy like it short, i've had to crop my levis leather trucker for this kinda look, makes upper half bulky and elongate legs, superb aesthetic

[@JamesLeung]

Yes I love the shorter length tops, they make outfits look so much better!

[@sfrank7799]

Been on the lookout for the right leather jacket. Gonna get this one. Thank you for the coverage!!

[@JamesLeung]

Amazing to hear man. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching!

[@bartomiejjarosz3248]

Great jacket. What’s the back length? Recently I have ordered the aero windward, which is cropped too.

[@chunxiangzhu4038]

Thanks for the review and such a nice customized jacket. Ordered a Type III for me. Can't wait to get it.

[@JamesLeung]

Nice! Which leather and colour did you go for?

[@kkhdeir1256]

Hello, would you recommend the Jerky Horsehide or Vicenza Horsehide for the Aero Leather Cafe Racer?

[@michaelheart650]

Would say chromexcel might be a fan favorite on the cafe racer. But let's say you want something lighter and easy to move around with. Vicenza is a beautiful leather (It's a veg tan leather) So the water resistance might not be one of it's characteristics, But it is a beautiful piece and sure you'll enjoy it. Jerky is a chrome tanned leather so water resistance is strong. Chromexcel is all of the above, Strong, Stiff, Water resistant, a trusted leather!

[@RV-vx9ek]

The short boxy fit is aces. So good.

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you man!

[@jigmechodak2091]

Are leather jacket in general supposed to be worn in a cropped fit ?? That fit is amazing.

[@JamesLeung]

I think it depends on the style. I’d say trucker style jackets look better when cropped!

[@radioteletype]

Please do a yearly update on the jacket

[@JamesLeung]

Definitely will, thanks for watching!

[@SLVR5RFR]

That looks so good, I’m beginning to really like leather jackets more and more every day haha

[@JamesLeung]

Me too, I would love to buy more!! Thanks for watching

Damn this jacket looks fantastic

It’s a beauty!

[@davel2734]

That is a beautiful jacket! Very good video as well. I have an Aero bronco A2. Aero quality is outstanding. Enjoy your jacket!

[@JamesLeung]

Love the Bronco jacket! How’s it holding up?

[@davel2734]

I've had it over a year now and wear it a lot. It broke in nicely.

[@SwexyPinoy03]

Awesome video bro. Looking into getting one of these now. What a beautiful jacket.

[@JamesLeung]

Nice!! Which one you thinking?

[@SwexyPinoy03]

Still undecided on what style jacket but I am quite interested in having cordovan leather. Too many choices!!!@@JamesLeung

[@ooo_111_ooo]

Please it suits you down man. The darkest brown is such a fabulous choice, too.

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@soloro456]

That all black fit was amazing… what size did you go with the weekday jeans ? Woman’s or men’s ???

[@JamesLeung]

Thanks! They are unisex but I went with a 27 inch waist which sounds crazy small but they’re quite oversized

[@LastNineBreaker]

I remember them having a huge sale right before increasing their prices. Jackets that used to be 500 pounds are now 700.

[@JamesLeung]

Hopefully they have another sale and bring the price back down to £500ish!

[@nirwanaeathell]

yeah this perfectly simple and the fit right on spot, u beat lot of leather jacket collector out there that in my opinion mostly not even fit or match their style. yes pls year or two this jacket update i really curious about this leather aging, and pls wear it when ever u have a chance. I have around 10 jacket 3 of em suede trucker in dark brown, gold, and dark green, thinking get black leather and varsity black also. After that im done LOL

[@JamesLeung]

Yeah I saw a few leather jacket experts and it didn’t seem like the jackets fit them properly. I guess we all have different ideas about how a jacket should fit. Thanks for watching and I’ll definitely do an update 😊

[@Praisewarrior21]

You should also try bockleder they have a selection of leather pants and jackets. Their trucker is pretty incredible. unless you prefer custom. Then you made the right choice. Aero is incredible I hope to get some pants and jackets from them some day. It does look terrific on you mate.

[@JamesLeung]

I did try a few jackets before and the sizing was never right. When spending so much I think custom is the right choice for me as I like a very specific fit. Thanks for watching!

[@Praisewarrior21]

Oh btw, James I own three pairs of horse hide jeans. So I know horse leather is extremely incredible. I'm actually thinking of getting a custom jacket made from shop Vancouver in my size once my credit card is paid. I do admire that jacket though. It makes me happy when I always see terrific styles such as yours. 😊

[@joalvarez6252]

Is that arrow an actual biker jacket? Or just for painting the town red?!

[@alexd.5857]

Great jacket, fits really well!

[@JamesLeung]

Thank you very much!

[@Paddythefriendlykiwi]

Lovely. That with some handwarmers would be epic for me!

[@JamesLeung]

It’s feels strange having no hand warmers but I just love the way it looks with the shorter length!

[@Paddythefriendlykiwi]

@JamesLeung it looks absolutely mint. But I have three type III denim jackets, one doesn't have handwarmers and it's fair to say I don't know what to do with myself when I'm wearing it, despite the silhouette being a classier, cleaner affair. I've just ordered the Tanuki type II with handwarmers. Very excited... although you didn't need to know that. Thanks for sharing. I'll either go with these or Master Supply when I go leather again.

[@FUJITRACK10]

Looks exactly the same as the Levi leather trucker jacket that I have which was around £350 in the sale

[@JamesLeung]

Nice, does it have the same short length?

[@sigurius6721]

Could you share the specific details you provided regarding your measurements? We share the same height and weight, and since the jacket fits you perfectly, I'm confident it would be an ideal fit for me as well. Any insights or recommendations you can provide would be great!

[@JamesLeung]

Sure man. I went for 20 inch pit to pit, 22.5 inch back length and 23.5 inch sleeve length. The best thing to do is find a jacket you love the fit of and give those measurements to them though 👍

[@sigurius6721]

@@JamesLeung Thanks a bunch. Will safe up and buy it. Looks so dope on you

[@ayasugihada]

Pretty amazing jacket for that price. Also the fit is perfect? Do you know how often they have these sales? I might as well fly to Edinborough from the continent (instead of paying the taxes on the jacket, lol), when this goes on sale. The custom fit is tempting, ngl.

[@JamesLeung]

I couldn’t believe my luck with the price! I think I heard they do a sale once per year but I’m not 100% sure. I believe Thurston Bros in USA sell these Aero jackets and you can customise them as well, might be worth a look!

[@RLSteffler]

Ever since I saw Aero I have felt like that's the brand I will invest in eventually, and seeing this just makes me more sure of that. I find it hilarious that the YSL jacket is made of sheepskin as opposed to horsehide yet it costs over 3× as much.

[@JamesLeung]

That’s exactly how I felt when I saw them the first time! I can tell you I’ve never been happier with a purchase, despite the cost.

[@michaelv5837]

where did you get your knitted sweater your wearing?

[@boag46]

Aero are the best.

[@kendtchileninjah5905]

Looks good brother. I want to order a slim fit moto jacket with the zippers but can’t figure out sizing. I’m 6ft tall 180 pounds. Tough ordering online

[@JamesLeung]

The best thing to do is use a jacket that already fits you well as a base for the measurements of the new jacket. Are you in the USA? I think they do a service out there where they send you a sample jacket before starting production on your personal one.

[@kendtchileninjah5905]
