IMO the best looking (and fitting) jacket on you. SUPERB! Literally perfect! And I agree setting the Ike free s a good call. No comparison. Looks like you were born to wear this one!

Always a great feeling when one comes and works out that well. Looks great.

Epic collar! I’d personally be more likely to wear a slightly more tame collar but the appeal is undeniable, love this design through all it’s iterations

That collar is a sight to behold! I hope it fits. Honestly this style isn’t really my thing anymore but I couldn’t pass it up based on the price.

This one came in yesterday and just as described. Good candidate for some simple repairs for use as a nice beater. It’s too small for me (I knew it would be).
Me in Ken's (and before that, a WWII airman's) jacket next week.

I have this coming in. A Montgomery Ward. This one is likely to be too large for me but I have to give it a try as the price is very reasonable. Flaws as far as I can see are only the broken zipper pulls on the sleeves (zipper still works) and torn lining at a few places.

Did you say too large? Remember me BA, remember me.

Sadly, I think mine has the same measurement as yours. Around 18 inch shoulder, 23 p to p according to the seller. I am hoping it will fit if I wear a sweater or a hoodie.

I also got tempted by that 10% discount on Aero and I've ordered on Friday a Kelpie Brown Hooch Hauler. Blackened brown also looked cool, so did the high grain seal Jerky... hope I won't regret the leather choice.
I also wanted to check with them if they can "simplify" those vents on the back and reduce the number of panels. Not sure if they have a practical purpose but I think it would look cooler/cleaner with less pieces.

I have the Hooch. The center vent is functional and needed because it’s a very slim cut. The fan back is decorative. But I also doubt they will change the fan back design On the Hooche. There was a time when I swore I wouldn’t wear a vajayjay backed jacket. I’ve eaten my words many times over now.

I hope it works out for you. Incredible jacket. That S2S kills me.

Haha, yeah, the center vent makes sense and I don't mind that one. I'm not 100% sold on the side ones - if they're just decorative.
It’s a size too small and yet the naval jacket pattern with its action back is so good that I have complete freedom of movement with it zipped up to the throat. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered that with a leather jacket before.

The pièce de résistance of my Halfbelt collection is coming. First up is leather mock up to dial in the fit.
I look very forward to giving a full report on the finished product, which will be done up in a dyed trough black shinki HH.
More details to come
Finished product will be a repro of this jacket in black:
