Jack - Thank you for your advice, I do appreciate it. I do have a Aero 50's HB with a Bi-Swing back and I like it very much and it works for my semi-narrrow waist and my wide back and shoulders.(I am not a body-builder). I wanted the 30's style because of the slim fit at the waist, and the...
I just tried to put an order in to Thurston/Insurrection for a HB with a Bi-Swing back and Wade told me Aero would not do it. Suggested I pick another style like the LHB that has a Bi-swing, but I knew what I wanted, and how I wanted it to fit and look, so I just decided not to order the jacket...
Does not look unfinished without the hem. I think the hem intrueds on the look of the lining. You don't want a brown cord strip messing with the look of that nice tartan lining. Looks great, and again - perfect length on body and sleeves!
I know some guys like their sleeves a little longer, but for my preference, your sleeve and body length are right on the money. If they made a mistake in your measurments, I think they did you a favor. Beautiful jacket - Great fit!!!
I think if he goes with his normal size suite jacket, and add the extra sleeve and body length he prefers, the 30's HB will be just fine for t-shirt or a little layering. I just got a 30's HB in my normal size and it fits spot on and does have room for some layering!
Schitz - Not sure if I am doing this correctly, but here is what I measured: Pit to Pit-23", Shoulder Seam to seam: 19". I am 5'-7" and 165Lbs, and have a fairly wide back, hope this info helps you out.
This jacket looks so nice as is, I almost don't want it to change. Not too stiff right now, but with some wear this is going to be one comfortable piece of leather. BTW - my first HH. I was always partial to the goatskin, but had to try the horse after hearing so much about it. It is a very nice...
Armholes are OK. Jacket rides up a little when raising arms, but that is normal for this style. The only way to solve that problem is under-arm gussets, which Aero will not do, and would be historically inaccurate. The fit is perfect (with sweater) and fits like I went to Scotland and Ken...
