How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[MrProper]

Thank you! I'm hoping it will fit nicely. I'm the opposite - initially I wanted to go with the Board Racer since I like the fit but again too tight on the chest and a bit long on the sleeves I thought I'd give this CR a try since it's a bit shorter and p2p seems great

Were you looking only at Cafe Racers?

I look at all sorts of things, but always knowing that the dimensions will never fit me ;-)

Haha, no wonder you go custom How's your new Aero by the way?

Just ordered this trainee CR from Aero, I'm curious how it will fit me.

This looks awesome! I hope you get it soon and that it fits better than the last Aero!

Thank you! I think the BR is a better fit for my body so I hope is going to be a good fit. My main concern is around the shoulders with this one. We'll see

@Riu I was also watching it as the BR is my favorite Aero style and by far my best fitting Aero jacket (I've been through most of their jacket styles and sold most of them). I'm crossing my fingers that it will fit you well!

Thank you @Robbie79! I don't have wide shoulders and probably that's why the BR is a good fit for me. I suppose we have similar builds. If it doesn't fit me well, most likely I'll have to look for a BR.

@Riu Just as a comparison - black CR and battered tan BR - both have same size so I'm sure it could work out for you, too:

That definitely helps, thank you. Was p2p the same? The shoulders seem wider on the CR as well as the sleeves. The jacket should be here tomorrow and now I'm really curious after seeing the comparison.

That 44 Board Racer in Cordo HH on Aero´s "Apprentice" page looks juicy. All measurements my size, but I am resisting. Not least because I will face a 23% upcharge on import and god knows how long a wait (got a parcel from UK stuck in customs

They've got some nice additions on the apprentice page indeed. I'm the same with ordering from USA - especially now with Brexit it's all messed up so I try to order from UK as much as possible.

...likewise, I now prefer to order from the US/Canada. Upcharge is the same difference, and custom clearance is better (or so it would appear), as customs officials apparently are still striuggling with the "new" regime.

I think a smaller shoulder will look better on a cafe racer since you have shoulder gussets to help with ease of movement

Yes the battered tan BR looks so much better plus the choice of leather makes it more interesting. Lovely hide

Straight out of the package:

It’s not a Kehoe, but the color is awesome, perfect British Racing Green.
I like it!

the perfect jacket to pair with a vintage Brit motorcycle cool even without the bike

I like see the two together Robbie thanks I prefer the broad racer. I wore a cafe racer from Aero for a couple years, I liked it but not one of my long term keepers

I agree with that, wish it was smaller on the CR for a 38. This one is 18" and my best fit is 17" so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out how it fits me.

Thanks guys for your honest feedback. Do you think the fit of my Cafe Racer is not right (chest, shoulder, etc.) or did you simply mean that you like the BR better? I honestly considered to sell the black CR in November but then decided against selling as it's one of my Wife's favorite leather jackets.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Robbie

I think you need a Bentley Blower to go with your jacket.

I think that one goes to @red devil with his Green moosehide LW coat.

For me it's a matter of preference, I like how the BR fits you better than the CR but I like trimmer fits so probably that's the reason why
