    Aero Leather D1

    The front length looks short, and the model looks like if he only wear a shirt but the fit looks trim, if you would like to layer a heavy sweater the jacket will maybe to small. Try to ask carrie@thurston-bros or make a poll at the forum about the sizing.

    Aero Leather D1

    The hide has an nice hand and is soft. It is a surprising light jacket comparing to my FQHH jackets. When I got the package I thought it was empty :) . Delivery from Scotland to Germany took one day! The jacket is very comfortable from the beginning, no need for a break in time. But the jacket...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    I love the Dustbowl back, so my next jacket will be a Premier 1930 HB in tumbled brown FQHH with 2 angled chest pockets (like the black Premier 1930 HB) and a Dustbowl back (No pleats at Half Belt for a tighter fit). If you like a bi-swing back maybe take a look at the back of the Half Belt...

    Help choosing an aero, please.

    If you feel the size 40 jacket is to big try the Premier 1930 HB pattern. It is like a size between. Here are some picture of my 1930 HBs. 1 Seal Vicenza, 1 Cordovan FQHH and the black is a Premier 1930 HB FQHH. All in size 40. I only wear a t-shirt but i am able to layer a sweater.

    The Sunburst an inch longer will fit you fine. The Dustbowl is the same pattern. "Even the slimmest, best fitting jackets I tried still stuck out a bit at the belly and lower back, but not too badly." You should consider the Premier Range like the Premier 1930 Half Belt or a Sheene = Cafe...
