■AERO LEATHER Riders Jacket HALFBELT STF Super Tight Fit

Model: Height 175cm, Weight 62kg, wearing size 38
The HALFBELT model features a more tapered waist than AERO LEATHER's signature HIGHWAYMAN model.
This STF (Super Tight Fit) is a more tailored version of the HALFBELT, designed to fit Japanese body types.
It is a special Japanese specification created jointly by AERO LEATHER Japan and Ken Calder, available exclusively through AERO LEATHER Japan.
By tightening the torso, upper arms, and armholes, especially reducing the armhole size,
it results in a jacket that is distinct from the regular Halfbelt. The cuffs feature a button closure.

FQHH (Front Quarter Horsehide)
This is arguably the world's best horsehide, confidently produced by the century-old, venerable Horween company.
AERO LEATHER has the world's sole exclusive use of it. It is AERO LEATHER's most iconic leather.
Horsehide is currently a very precious leather, and its smooth surface can only be achieved with AERO LEATHER.
Furthermore, AERO LEATHER's horsehide is chrome-tanned and almost completely waterproof.
AERO LEATHER products may initially feel stiff like a lead plate, but with years of wear and "breaking in,"
they soften and mold to your body and intended use.
Each jacket develops its own unique character, becoming a one-of-a-kind piece just for you.
AERO LEATHER deepens in character with each passing decade, and this enjoyment lasts a lifetime.

Maintenance
By maintaining it with Aero Leather's genuine horsehide leather conditioner,
the leather becomes incredibly fine and velvety to the touch, yet maintains its firmness.
Mink oil, commonly used for leather product maintenance, is completely unsuitable for horsehide.
The wax in mink oil and similar products excessively coats the leather,
hindering healthy aging. (All animal wax-based products are a no-go.)

Off-Season Storage
・Before storing, gently wipe with a dry towel to remove dirt and dust.
　(A well-ventilated, dry place away from direct sunlight is best.)
・Apply Aero Leather's genuine horsehide leather conditioner to moisturize.
・When autumn arrives and the season begins, apply a small amount of Aero Leather conditioner.
・Maintaining it with leather conditioner 1-2 times during the season will further enhance its aging process.

Aero Leather's horsehide is water-resistant, so if it gets lightly rained on, simply wipe the surface dry with a towel.
However, caution is needed if it gets soaked to the point of dripping wet.
Wet leather is very sensitive to heat and will deform and degrade when exposed to strong heat.
Absolutely do not use hair dryers or heaters. Instead, air dry it naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
Just before it's completely dry, rub in a bit more Aero Leather genuine horsehide leather conditioner than usual to replenish its oils.
This is because oils are lost as moisture evaporates.

This is an in-stock item offered at its original purchase specifications and price, available for immediate delivery.

Regarding the Product
Many of our products are designed based on vintage items. To emphasize the authentic feel, there may be slight sewing discrepancies, differences in fabric color or texture due to processing, and color variations. Please understand these as part of the product's charm. Also, product specifications (sewing, parts, colors, sizes, etc.) may change without notice. We hope you enjoy the product with an understanding of the above points.

Horsehide intentionally retains the natural texture of the leather, so you may notice many scars and wrinkles that the horse sustained during its life. These are not defects.
White powder (bloom) may be present on the leather surface, but this is the leather's oil rising to the surface and
will disappear with use, so please rest assured.
