Bolt x Aero 10 year Anniversary Letterman Jacket
Bolt x Aero 10 year Anniversary Letterman Jacket
Having worked with Aero Leathers of Scotland since we launched it seemed appropriate to do somerthing special together to mark our tenth Anniversary. The stadium jackets often tell a story, originally patched up to proundly display a sports teams wins. They were later adopted by streetwear brands, most notably Stussy and then supreme, neighbourhood through to Louis Vuitton to mark collaborations and occasions.
We went for a understated black on black, with a black and ivory trim to set it off. Each jacket has been hand embroidered using a vintage sewing machine by Chain snitch in keeping with the era of the jacket. We took influence from the jacket from the types worn by the early car clubs of 40’s California
Made in Scotland, each jacket is made by hand, by one person from start to finish. The letterman is based on a classic 1940’s style, relaxed but fitted, with a traditional single shawl hem, cuffs and collar. We opted for a 21 oz Melton wool with raglan sleeves in a stunning horse-hide leather. The mid-weight leather combines the distinct shine of horsehide with a visible grain and more dramatic texture, this will look better and better as it breaks in. Finished with stud closures, deep moleskin lined pockets.
A limited run of Jackets will be made to order. The first batch will be available at a special price if ordered before 16th of August. After this there will be a small price increase due to increasing manufacturer costs.
