I like that idea.

Actually, I am doing one at the moment that is Jerky Horse.  I have asked Will to select the most grained jerky he can find.  He says it will look vintage before they've finished sewing it.  I've christened it  "Fucked From the Factory"….

[RocknRoll]

does it smell like petrol?

[Giles]

Nope it's not the petrol tanned shit…

Oil Pull....

holy crap…

I put this on this morning–we have a cool day--so I have about 6 straight hours in it now. As opposed to the 6 months it needs. I'll send fit pics, down the road a bit when it makes sense, but I'd like to say a few things, while it's new, hard, and unbroken.

First, this comes as no surprise to anyone on this list, it is unique and great. The combo of IH and Aero is very cool. It reflects all the heritage and what I like about both places. You can see/feel the combo of style and substance, craft and common-sense, earth and fantasy, in this piece. So, kudos to the makers, thank you....

Next, the fit is near perfect. This is really hard to do. I have had a number of leather shirts, some custom, not one as close to a good fit as this. Complete freedom of movement, no sags, arms feel right, I can work in this shirt--labor, that is--which I will, come autumn.

Tremendous value, Giles. Thanks, again.

Will@Aero said to me that if "the guy" wears this for a straight 2 years, he may break it in…...

[apba1166]

…and if I do, you won't believe the callous I'll have built up inside my elbows.

[RocknRoll]

I'm getting callouses in all sorts of places, merely from looking  at that sexy oil-pull.

[Jordan23]

That Oil pull!Mmmmmmh…..!

[derivative666]

That is unbelievably gorgeous wear in good health!!!

@7tacos:

This build would look nasty in a dark heavy oil-pulled.  I've gotta piece that Amanda at Aero sent to me some months back and I nailed to the outside of my garage about two months ago to see how it would behave.

Glad someone got one of these in oil-pulled. 
….I should post a pick of the above mentioned sample.  It's several years old now and still nailed to a board outside.  Oil-pulled HH rules.
