Lol, came here to post this

My Field Leathers Route 66 in waxy calf stunk when it showed up, about a week later, it was fine

Thanks for the quick response, it sounds like the sleeve would be too short for me, but good luck with the sale, someone’s going to love this!

That’s a nicely executed B-3! Which leather is used? Are the zips brass or nickel? What is your normal sleeve length and how do the sleeve measurements translate vs a non-shearling jacket? This is the most important question for me - I spec 26-26.5 sleeves on jackets, but may go shorter...

Sleeves are ~2” too short for me, but otherwise, this would have been perfect. Did you mean to list it for $150?

Nice! Could you share measurement photos of the P2P and sleeves?

I’m very interested in the idea of adding a front drop independent of the back length - has anyone gotten Aero to do this before?

The J106 was on Aero’s used page and it really spoke to me. Sure the sleeves could be longer and the back a bit shorter, but I got a wild jacket I never would have speced myself and I’m super happy with it.

Here are some unzipped pics

Ah, I did not know Aero could add a front drop - 0.5" in the back plus 0.75" in front would bring the front down 1.25" - that would cover the belt nicely - thank you! @TartuWolf - if you don't mind my asking, the fit on your HH looks amazing - what makes you wish for a wider hem?

Definitely it is too short! If I make it longer, and it hits the curve of my butt, I'm worried that will make the hem too tight. Should a half-belt hit at the bottom of the pants belt, or lower?

Badalassi Hooch Hauler - I'm blown away by this jacket, and therefore a bit blind to any fit issues - but the back came in almost a full inch shorter than requested, so I'm discussing options with Thurston Bros. In the event Aero will remake the jacket, I have a dilemma... At the current length...

The feedback actually dispelled all my concerns about the fit, sure it could be an inch shorter, but the more I wear it, the better it fits and the imperfections fade away

A chunkier main zip would likely yield an extra half inch in width - I’m considering moving to a #8 or #10 on my Route 66 for some extra breathing room

I was ready to take the lot, until realizing they really are cravats, and not ties.
