    Anybody out there with some photos of an Aero board racer with a collar from a highwayman (as with the Sheene)?

    Aero Teamster options questions

    Fanch's is a great example of a perfect fit on him. his broad shoulders put him in a 42, but he clearly has room in the body to layer. Although alpaca is definitely warmer, none of the linings are that warm (except shearling) as leather conducts heat too well. Leaving room to layer is the...

    Aero Teamster options questions

    Mine was ordered with 26.5" sleeves and 29.5" body (my cafe racer is 27" body, I like it a little longer and a thick fleece will pad the shoulders and lift it up a smidge. I also have it with storm cuffs for cold weather wear.

    Aero Teamster options questions

    Mine is on order with FQHH and corduroy in the body and moleskin in the sleeves. Size 40, as is my highwayman. I'm 5'10, 185 lbs. Fanch and wdw were both extremely helpful in their posts for my order. Mine was also ordered with a back yoke as with Aero's August jacket.

    Aero Board Racer

    Argos, I think it looks great! Do you find its comfortable to wear and move around in, drive, etc? Or do you find it restrictive? There seems to be a "board racer stance" ....not sure if that's a consequence of new jackets and pre-curved arms....

    50's. I was told to order the same size as my highwayman. Although other forum members seem to have pulled off a tighter fit well by sizing down.

    Curious about how others size their Aero jackets.

    The 42 may work for you, the leathers tend to loosen up with time. If you do decide to move it, I'm in Northern VA and might possibly be interested!

    Curious about how others size their Aero jackets.

    I'm 5'10, 190. My size 40 FQHH highwayman fits with a little room. A size 42 maxwell in Vicenza felt a size too big for me, however I think the type of leather counts. For example, I also have two Aero cafe racers with the exact same measurements. The steer one feels about a 1/2 size smaller...

    Questions about leather jacket fit ...

    What you're describing makes me say it's perfect for you (pics would help). The leather will loosen up with wear and time. I've formed the personal opinion that a baggy leather jacket is worse than a snug one.
