' The Ace '
THE
ACE CAFE LONDON
LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION
BY
AERO LEATHER CLOTHING
PLEASE NOTE THAT CHEST MEASUREMENTS GIVEN ARE IN INCHES.
Just as the 'Black Leather Boys' back in the 50's defined the Black leather jacket as their uniform, Ace Cafe London and legendary jacket manufacturer 'Aero' have decided to produce a strictly limited edition set of jackets that embody the spirit of the Ace. Born out of the leather bike jackets of the 50's and 60's the Ace Cafe London Collection is manufactured from old style chromed tanned, very heavy steer-hide or front quarter horsehide. We have striven to honour the styling & techniques of manufacturers from the mid 1900's, chrome tanned hides being the material of choice for bike jackets due to it's durability and natural water repellence. There is and can only be one colour - Black. All metal ware, as is the de rigour requirement of the British Rocker, is Nickel.
The ACE is a classic half-belt 1950's style leather jacket. The fact that so many of this style of jacket not only exist today, but are still worn, is a tribute to their manufacturers. With 'The Ace', we have taken the best elements from the countless jackets that have passed through the cafe over the years and combined them with the bast features from the famous Aero half-belt. The pleated back, side adjusting straps, Aero central zipper, two slash hand warmer pockets with traditional ball & chain zip closure and typical British gusset cuff, finsih the ensemble.
All jackets have the unique 'Ace Cafe London Collection by Aeroleather Clothing' label and will be numbered as part of the Limited Edition of 500 only available of each style.
