To quote the respected The Art of Vintage Leather Jackets blog……….. “1930s suedes were the creme of the fashion product of their day. 1930s suede is quite unique and unlike any I have ever seen. The inside is always the top grain of the hide and the suede side is always a super, super fine nap”.
We are immensely proud to announce that the Suede described above “Is no longer unique to the 1930s” as we’ve had this Suede recreated exactly as it was tanned in the 1930s. It’s been a long haul though, for at least the last 25 years we’ve been trying to find a tannery that could recreate this legendary Goat Suede, we’ve come close a few times but we wanted perfection, now, finally we’ve managed find a tanner capable of recreating this long lost leather to perfection, 100% so, the weight, the touch, the drape, the appearance and the quality are all identical, it really is the most incredible leather, almost worth the 25 year wait!! A Suede of this rarity and quality deserves the right jacket, we feel we’ve achieved this goal with our new “Majestic”.
While not an exact replica of any particular jacket from the 1930s it’s commensurate with many. We’ve flipped the collar, facing, trim and cuff lining to the top grain leather side of the hide, again typical of the original jackets, we’ve use the highest grade Japanese trimmings, a 1930s Waldes Grommet Zip and looped pocket zipper and Corozo Fish Eye buttons on the cuffs.
In naming this jacket “The Majestic” we realise we are setting the bar particularly high but, in the words of Aero’s founder …… “I honestly believe this is the best leather jacket Aero has ever produced” As collectors know, when a good example of a similar original American Suede Jacket from the 1930s comes upon ebay, the winning bids are regularly in the region of $2000, we believe in 10 or 15 years a good used Aero Majestic will fetch a similar hammer price.
This jacket is a 1930s inspired design which offers a closer fit to the body as was typical of the slimmer fitting styles of this era.
The perceived ‘correct’ fit of the 1930s is generally similar to modern sizing, so we typically recommend selecting your usual size for this style to achieve the intended fit.
We very rarely recommend sizing down.

Every order placed is checked over by a member of our production team who will confirm your size selection against your measurements or recommend any necessary changes that need to be made.
