Perhaps not so surprisingly the sleeves got shorter by quite a bit, wish I had ordered at least 0.5" longer sleeves. Would not mind another 0.5" in the body either. But otherwise I'm very happy with the fit, even if mobility is not impressive.
Personally I think that 1mm goat would be on the "flimsy" side, but tanning methods influence stiffness and veg tan leather tends to be stiffer. Goat does have a lot going for it though, there are a lot fans on TFL.
Size 38 Field Leathers Aviator for ~650eu in Spain.
Fellow lounger I'd presume?

Might be interested.
Can you give me the measurements? Bottom hem, waist, pit to pit, chest (narrowest point between sleeve seams midway between pit-to-pit and shoulders), shoulders, sleeve length, back length...
I'm assuming the shipping is from UK?
@Olumin
Check out Rugged West as well. A rather new player in the game, but might be worth considering. A few loungers already got a jacket from them (her) and seem to be very pleased with it. I'm personally waiting for a Type 1 in Brown Pullup Bison for my wife from them.
Not much out there as far as I can tell, yeah.
Avi leathers, not made in EU though.
One incredible maker in DE but the pricing is also very steep.
Also there's Noble House in DE but they are very sketchy in my opinion, would rather avoid. Also unlikely that their jackets are EU made.
Quite...
Can you elaborate on why would it be a nightmare? My shoulders are are roughly 40cm wide and I aim for 41-44cm in garments. Anything under 40cm would likely be uncomfortable yeah.
@Aloysius
Yes, but I think layering will fill them out somewhat. I have a simplistic view on shoulders - the seams should more or less hit the shoulder bones no matter the style. But that's obviously subjective and my opinion.
