Every Thurston Bros custom jacket order includes the use of a fit jacket and a professional fit consultation. Fit consultation includes chest circumference evaluation as well as shoulder width and waist circumference recommendations. Additionally, the fit jacket is used to determine custom body and sleeve lengths. All fit recommendations are based on using the fit jacket as a measuring tool for the custom build. Please keep in mind that three customers with the same body measurements will choose three different sizes in the same style (one chooses a tight fit, another prefers a regular fit and the third wants a roomier fit). The fit jacket consultation makes it easy for each customer to get the fit and lengths they desire!
Early in 2018, Aero introduced the “Moonshiner” half belt jacket, a button-up version of a longtime customer favorite, the Bootlegger. While history has made the terms Bootlegger and Moonshiner legendary in US history, far less is known about the men employed as the "Hooch Haulers." These guys drove a Whiskey Six, a big-wheeled Buick or a Studebaker fitted with souped-up Cadillac ambulance motors, making ridiculously powerful moonshine-toting getaway vehicles! The vehicle interiors were stripped to make room for a maximum load of “product."
During the years of prohibition, the Appalachia back roads were the race tracks of the region and a top Hooch Hauler knew every dirt road and shortcut on those old country tracks. They were the original Hot Rodders and many a custom car ended up wrapped around a tree or in a ditch during the regular high-speed chases with law enforcement.
The Hooch Hauler dates in style between the Moonshiner and the Bootlegger in the Prohibition dateline. The features are firmly based in the early 1930s with a slim, flattering cut and a unique period back design.
Once you've placed your order, we'll contact you regarding any extra measurements we need to make sure your new jacket is a perfect fit for your shape. The Women's Hooch Hauler is based on the men's base pattern, but includes a pattern adjustment to the waist/bottom hem to fit a woman.
