    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Got my White’s First Ave Oxfords in Nat Chromexcel. They run big so had to return for 1 full size smaller than my brannock. Overall, they are nice for the price. Finishing details are far below the quality of my benzein shoes..wobbly stitching, rough leather transitions, thinner midsole and...

    I believe most members would be fine with ads at the top and bottom of pages. The problem here is that they are popping up everywhere and impeding viewing, left, right , up, down, middle of posts, splitting screen, etc...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    My Chippewa moc toe’s had pretty nice leather, but I wasn’t fond of their last shape, poron insole, and foam filler.

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    This Aero has a small neck opening and narrow shoulders but doesn’t exhibit the creases. It does feel like it’s hanging on my neck though. Luckily it’s a pretty light hide.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I ordered mine in early November, so I guess Peng’s initial wait time of 4 months is getting pushed back by a few months.

    Fit check: Are those sleeves too short

    I feel that the smaller the cuff opening, the shorter the sleeves can be without looking too short. I had a jacket with short wide sleeve cuffs and it looked like bell bottoms on my arms.

    Aero Leather A2 Bronco - need advice on fit

    Looks good for an A2 fit. If you want that close slim fit, I would suggest another brand.

    Expandible back pleats

    I’m sure it give you a tiny bit more range of movement. I’m not a big fan of it because I don’t like the looks of it once it stays permanently open.

    If the jacket fits properly and the pattern is put together to follow the contours of your back, you shouldn’t end up the bulging bi-swing as shown in your picture. My Vanson Oxford bi-swing doesn’t stick out that much. Probably a combo of good fit, pattern, and thicker/stiff leather.

    This jacket reminds me of something Kristoff from Frozen would wear.

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    I would add 1-1.5in to the sleeves, as the length will probably shorten .5in through creasing. I only like short sleeves on suit jackets where your shirt cuff shows. Don’t know how it would look sticking out the end of a leather jacket.

    New Vanson Oxford

    I’m at my ideal weight, so hopefully the tight fit will incentivize me not to gain weight. I have the maple Bainbridge in an Aero Hercules and am loving that leather more and more. At first, I thought it was a little light bc I’m so used to +3.5oz leather, but it really is the perfect balance...

    New Vanson Oxford

    Updated fit pics size 40. 5’9” 170lb 42chest 33waist. Side cinch straps buckled 1 hole from tightest position. You can see how this pattern follows the contours of the back. The only measurement I’m worried about on my size 38 on order is the chest size. It will be 1.5-2in smaller than the...

    First Aero -New aeromarine, short review

    I think you can get away with a little oversized shoulder width if your leather is thick and stiff, as it won’t droop over your shoulders looking sloppy.
