    1930 Slim Fit Half Belt Back Modification

    I am thinking about a different back for a 1930 slim fit half belt to get rid of the excess material. Not to alter this one but to plan a new one. Any suggestions? Pictures are welcome. Thanks

    Thank you. I already thought about the Premier version of the 1930 Half Belt or a Sheene. I am looking for a not so boxy jacket with a better fit in the back. My Cafe Racer and Half Belt have both a little bulky back. Maybe the solution could be a Dustbowl or Hercules back.

    Aero Sheene/ Café Racer Length

    I would order a jacket in a equal length to Calos jacket in this thread. But i prefer a sheene over a cafe racer. A jacket like this: http://cdn.styleforum.net/d/d3/d352a9d7_AeroSheene3.jpeg http://cdn.styleforum.net/0/04/04eccd2c_AeroSheen4.jpeg

    Aero Sheene/ Café Racer Length

    I woud choose a 26" length. The half belt in my opinion often apears a little shorter because you lost a 1/2 inch in the bulky part above the belt especially with a new stiff FQHH jacket.

    Part 3, The End? Last but not least i choose a 1930 slim fit Half Belt size 40 in seal Vicenza. I put it in tumbler for 60 minutes. Setting the tumbler to cold and gentle helps breaking in the at arriving stiff jacket. The leather was a lot softer and more relaxed without any harm or shrinking...

    Part 2 Third is a Café Racer in Seal Vicenza (medium weight full grain, vegetable tanned Italian horsehide) size 40. After two days I was caught in heavy rain on a bike, the jacket was wet and so was i. In contrast to the FQHH the Vicenza a did not like to much water. I put it near a very warm...

    Hello, i am new to the forum. After reading the forum for a while I found a lot of members asking about fit and sizing and the difference between styles. So I want to share my experience with some Aero leather jackets. Maybe someone will find it useful. My height is 5’8” (173cm), 170lb...
