    Fit Pic/Opinion on new jacket (Local Jacket Maker)

    It is a steerhide and the thickness should be around 1.4mm. Its quite soft already, does not stand on it's own brand new. The fit is quite snug but also not uncomfortable. This local maker does not have much leather choices at all. When I visited his workshop I asked to see some horsehide and...

    Fit Pic/Opinion on new jacket (Local Jacket Maker)

    Actually before I receive this jacket I already placed order for an aero Hooch Hauler in tobacco badalassi. The addiction is real. Need to figure out the sizing on that though. This jacket has a p2p of about 21. just 2 inches more than my raw chest measurement and it fits good. I was planning...

    Fit Pic/Opinion on new jacket (Local Jacket Maker)

    I'm quite difficult to fit as Im quite short 5'7 ,workout regularly with an eight inch chest/waist drop. Have had some terrible experiences in the past with bespoke tailors which made jackets very boxy. So I requested a strong taper. This jacket has a 21 p2p and 18inch at the hem. Front drop is...

    Nice. I have a 40" chest so going with a size 40. Should be a trim fit from the start with badalassi and maybe it will stretch out a bit

    Aero leather Hooch Hauler Sizing Advice

    The crazy thing is all of them look good on you!Makes me wanna go shorter. also the backs of the jackets are all so smooth. They really fit perfectly on you. Can you share some sizing technique? Do you go by the raw chest +2"～3" way?

    Aero leather Hooch Hauler Sizing Advice

    On their website they say their patterns are based on a 5'11 model. Im not too sure their meaning of this. So no matter if it's a size 36 or 44, they are all designed to fit a 5'11 guy? Seems kind of a weird way to do it. I"ll just go for a 23.5" back length anyway lol

    Aero leather Hooch Hauler Sizing Advice

    G Yes I agree and tempted to maybe even go for 23.5" but at the same time I worry too short of a length will disrupt the original pattern too much given it's original design has a 26" back length and make the jacket " square" shaped. Should I have such concerns and just go for a safer 24"?

    172cm so I'm planning on having it shorten to 23.75". 25" was suggested by Holly and I thought it was too long too

    I Asked Holly from aero to send me the measurements of the stf bl and hh. Seems like the pattern of Hooch Hauler should be very similar to stf BL?

    Aero leather Hooch Hauler Sizing Advice

    A size 40 seems to have the right measurements using this method. Hopefully the jacket will turn out good. Will post pics and report back in a few months!
