    My new Aero Buco J-100

    Thanks! And I agree, if I rode I would want the extra sleeve length.

    My new Aero Buco J-100

    Thanks! And at some point I did consider asking for a dual zip, but since I won't really be sitting down with my jacket zipped, I didn't think it was necessary.

    My new Aero Buco J-100

    Haha, being able to fit into this jacket will be a great incentive for me to keep my weight down! Aero's version of a Buco J-100 is actually just a modified Board Racer--so they start with the Board Racer pattern, then they do a straight yoke with no vertical split seam and no internal or...

    My new Aero Buco J-100

    Thanks! Yeah, I felt like the original zipper length caused some flaring at the waist of the jacket that I didn't like. Since I won't really be sitting with the jacket zipped, I had it go all the way down.

    My new Aero Buco J-100

    After having harangued, harassed, and hounded you all, and after plenty of hemming and hawing on my own part, I finally pulled the trigger on, AND HAVE NOW RECEIVED, a beautiful Aero Buco J-100 in blackened brown Vicenza! Today was my first day wearing it out and I am very very happy with the...

    Do you mean that the taper wouldn't even be noticeable when wearing the jacket? (I suppose if I laid the jacket flat on the floor, I would be able to see the taper...)

    In trying on the size 38 (the smaller size) a bit longer last night, I noticed a little discomfort in the left armhole being too high. So, as many people on this very thread have suggested, I think I will go with the size 40 but ask for a taper of one or two inches. Carrie has provided me the...

    Yeah, I figured the J-100 was a pretty snug silhouette, so that's why I'm leaning towards the 38. It will certainly be the trimmest fitting jacket I own, if I go with that size!

    Haha! At this point my taste is for the perfectly horizontal ones, but who knows, if I spend more time on this forum, I may develop a thing for slanted ones!!

    Thanks! Yes, I would get this in Vicenza with a cotton sateen lining. (And you're right, shoulder cannot be adjusted, but sleeves can be lengthened.)

    Thanks for the comparison pic! It does look like the sleeves "slimmed down" after 5 months of wear...The sleeve length, however, looks identical. Also, what is different about the shoulders now? I have a hard time telling from the pics.

    I will likely go with Blackened Brown Vicenza!

    What do ya'll think of the body length on the size 38?

    Aero Buco J-100 fit jacket: your feedback is greatly appreciated!

    You've hit the nail on the head--the smaller size doesn't FEEL too small in the shoulders, and so I'm glad to get some feedback that it also doesn't LOOK too small. Thanks! Yeah, I also toyed with switching over to the Cafe Racer pattern (with J-100 details) for this jacket, but based on...

    This is where I'm currently leaning. The 38" is actually comfortable for me, I was more concerned with whether the shoulders looked too narrow aesthetically.

    Thanks for the specific feedback. I definitely agree that the waist on the 38" is better. That's interesting that you like the 40" better in terms of shoulders and chest. It was on the 40" that I had so much excess material in the back of the jacket...which seems all but eliminated on the 38".

    I agree that comfort is paramount. I actually find the 38 to be completely comfortable--my real question is whether, aesthetically and objectively, it looked too narrow in the shoulders.

    Was that in Vicenza?

    Aero Buco J-100 fit jacket: your feedback is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the feedback. Is that because you feel like the chest on the 38 is worse than on the 40?
