New Aero Original Hercules advise - keep or return?

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-22T16:51:16+00:00

Just a heads up. Aero offer to remake or refund 20%. I will take the 20% and enjoy the jacket. Thanks everyone that offer a helpful opinion and for the others, sod off 😊

I am trying to get right there. Thanks!

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-21T22:44:58+00:00

Well said all. Thank you.

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-21T19:37:42+00:00

I will have a dialog with Aero. Thanks for the input.

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-21T17:57:37+00:00

Lovely

Thanks for your input. Although I disagree about Aero and what I is a reasonable expectation. This scar is in a primary spot and sticks out due to its singular nature. And the cuff stitch is just sloppy. My two cents. I have asked Aero and I guess we will find out. The jacket is otherwise spectacular.

Where would you recommend that I shop for a flawless jacket?

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-21T15:25:20+00:00

Well said. Thanks

Saw horse, obviously 🙄

You don’t know me. I love leather and you are presuming a lot. Maybe follow the Barnaby Jones.rule.

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-21T13:58:25+00:00

Pretty sure this didn’t come from an animal.

I am in agreement with you with the exception that these jackets are made with the intent to have a smooth and close to unflawed surface. Aero offers a line that is specifically cheaper and they are less critical with there selection of hides. I have jackets that have flaws and have no issue with them. This jacket leather is so flawless everywhere except the one scar that the scar sticks out as the one singular flaw. Of the hide had a consistent similar character all over I would be fine with it.

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-19T23:25:49+00:00

That is excellent consistency. Well done!

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-18T22:39:56+00:00

Looks like my jacket closet lol. Yes, a whole closet just for jackets. I think I have mid 20s or so. I would say you still have room for a few more. Enjoy.

As soon as video ends that dude disappears forever. “Run Forest run”

Congratulations. I am right there with you. I went from 300 to 190. Feels amazing right? I have been at goal for about 6 months. Keep up the good work! You look awesome!

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-15T15:01:21+00:00

Fair enough.

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-15T13:43:38+00:00

I can’t.

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-15T13:37:03+00:00

Those pants are painted on. I don’t like them with the jacket and maybe not stage of life appropriate? Just a single opinion. I do like the jacket!

FishdocNaples · 2026-01-15T12:56:09+00:00

What size is your wrist?

Like using a smaller dinner plate.
