You might find yourself grabbing the Highwayman more than any other jacket you own. It's easy to wear because of the short length and room in the shoulders. That is why I own two of them.
I just ordered 1/4" thick custom horsehide belts in black and brown to match my Aero Highwayman jackets. They are made to order and take about six weeks to ship.

I now have a Black FQHH Highwayman and a Brown FQHH on the way. Both are lined in cotton drill and are used for temps above 35 degrees. I already own a long black shearling coat for winter and am also thinking about getting a long brown shearling. Should I instead consider a longer Aero jacket...
The sleeves on the Highwayman appear to be slanted. They are longer towards the pinky while being shorter near the forefinger/thumb. The sleeves hit the knuckle on my pinky while just reaching the crease where my forefinger and thumb meet, two inches above the knuckle on my forefinger.
I have been kneading my horsehide jacket like a ball of dough. In just a few days it has really softened up and looks like it has taken on years of wear.
