Very nice, I've always fancied the LHB myself. I'd probably prefer another inch on the sleeve length, but that's a personal thing. Perfect cold weather jacket, it's a beauty.
Yes, this one was a little trim but it was 40" Dale Fashions coat that was really way off, huge shoulder width that swamped me. Managed to sell it on eBay but the next 40" I bought, I made sure to ask for all measurements and it worked out fine - lesson learned.
Yes, they were moved about an inch, it doesn't sound a lot but it made a big differnce to the fit, it's now very comfortable to wear. The old stitch marks can just be detected, if you look very closely, but with a bit of a brush they almost disappear.
Posted this pic in the 'what jacket are you wearing today' thread but thought it might be of some use here. Paid quite a bit to ship this lovely 38" 1967 Peacoat over the pond but sadly it was a tad snug for comfort. I wasn't sure if moving the buttons would devalue the coat, but after taking...

Some might recall some slight issues I had with my Premier 30's halfbelt order :-) Julie got involved and the result was a jacket that was tailored and stitched to perfection. As someone who builds acoustic guitars as a hobby, I appreciate fine work. In the world of leather jacket production...
Just spotted this on Aero's Facebook page, Julie Leitch celebrating 25 years at Aero. Its estimated she's machined 14,000 jackets, I'm surprised she's got any any fingers left!
What an achievement though, respect!
