AERO LEATHERS

LEATHER MOTORCYCLE JACKET

Prototype for the 1950's RUFF & READY by AERO LEATHERS x LEVI'S VINTAGE CLOTHING Collaboration

Here is a description by the designer himself who contacted me upon seeing this jacket here on eBay: What you have here is much rarer than you think. I'm the designer at Aero who worked with Levis at the start of LVC. This is the very first sample of the Ruff N Ready. It was made undamaged and unaged using our lining and label, at this point we were only sampling and did not have a Levi label. Levi's designers did the aging on this particular jacket and made the slashes in the leather. Production models had overstitched "repairs" on the pocket corners after we talked them out of slashing the leather. This would be the very first jacket ever made for Levi's by Aero.
