    Anyone ever shorten a jacket?

    DO-NOT, I repeat, DO-NOT shorten that jacket. It's length is perfect!![huh]:eusa_clap

    First sighting for Aero's next April Show?

    I have an Aero 30's HB in 2-tone (brown FQHH-w/back trim) and I love it. Not too over the top, kind of subtle, but looks great (IMO)!!

    Questions on halfbelts

    I meant having the half-belt if the jacket has just a plain back with no yolk, bi-swing etc. The belt just makes a jacket look better!

    Aero Fit Jackets are here!!

    I disagree with you on the 30's HB being worn with just a shirt to look right, or designed for just a shirt. I have a Aero 30's HB, and an Alexander Arkansas (same as a 30's HB, maybe even a little snuggger) and I wear a sweater underneath in the colder weather and it looks good to me. I also...

    Questions on halfbelts

    They just look good (IMO) and give a basic plain back of a jacket some class!!

    Fit jacket pics

    I think the HB is the better of the two. I would shorten the sleeves 1/2", and if you want to layer with a sweater, I would stay with that size!

    Thoughts on doing a buckle cuff on a 30's Half Belt? Different collar sizes?

    I think I've seen some 30's HB from Insur./Thurst.?? that had no yoke in the back. I would not worry about the collar size, I thought they looked a little large when I saw them online, but when I finally saw one in the flesh, it was good. I would take Insur./Thurst. advise on mods - they will...

    "The Cockpit" Mil Spec G1… one week old but water-vintaged…with pics

    I normally wear a size 42, but these jackets run a little small and mine is a 44 and fits perfect!

    Russet vs Seal

    Both jackets look like a good fit, the collar on the Herc looks a little large (too long) but as far as what goes with your complexion, cloths-etc., I just go with what I like!

    Aero Dustbowl Fit Help!!

    The sleeve length looks good to me, But body length needs to be at least another 1/2" to 1" longer. I think you could safely go down one size also. Take a road trip to Insurrection if you can and take up Carries offer!

    New pioneer

    You can get a breast pocket on this jacket if requested. I have the Wool/Leather Type II and it is essencially a Pioneer in wool, and I had the breast pocket put on it!

    New pioneer

    Very nice. Fit is perfect, and goatskin is very durable, and light-weight. You will probably get more wear out of that one than your other heavier weight jackets living in that Texas climate. Congrats!!

    Aero leather 30's Half Belt Jackey, Q(uestion of size)

    I'm 5'7" and I have an Aero 30's HB with a back length of 24" and the back sits just at the top of my back pockets. I think 24.5" would be a good back length for you. I also do prefer the drop front of this style jacket. Just call Insurrection/Thurston Bros. give them your stats and they will...

    Aero leather 30's Half Belt Jackey, Q(uestion of size)

    Fanch, I've seen your last few jackets, and I think you got it right on the money!!;)

    The dreaded inside pocket question

    Just go with the inside pocket and if you're worried about it showing through, don't put the stud on. I think Fanch had one like that, and I think they are deep enough that there should be no problem with something falling out!
