    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    I’m very interested in the idea of adding a front drop independent of the back length - has anyone gotten Aero to do this before?

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    The J106 was on Aero’s used page and it really spoke to me. Sure the sleeves could be longer and the back a bit shorter, but I got a wild jacket I never would have speced myself and I’m super happy with it.

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Ah, I did not know Aero could add a front drop - 0.5" in the back plus 0.75" in front would bring the front down 1.25" - that would cover the belt nicely - thank you! @TartuWolf - if you don't mind my asking, the fit on your HH looks amazing - what makes you wish for a wider hem?

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Definitely it is too short! If I make it longer, and it hits the curve of my butt, I'm worried that will make the hem too tight. Should a half-belt hit at the bottom of the pants belt, or lower?

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Badalassi Hooch Hauler - I'm blown away by this jacket, and therefore a bit blind to any fit issues - but the back came in almost a full inch shorter than requested, so I'm discussing options with Thurston Bros. In the event Aero will remake the jacket, I have a dilemma... At the current length...

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    The feedback actually dispelled all my concerns about the fit, sure it could be an inch shorter, but the more I wear it, the better it fits and the imperfections fade away

    A chunkier main zip would likely yield an extra half inch in width - I’m considering moving to a #8 or #10 on my Route 66 for some extra breathing room

    NEW, OLD STOCK VINTAGE CRAVATS/STOCKS FROM HARRODS OF LONDON!

    I was ready to take the lot, until realizing they really are cravats, and not ties.

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    Thank you both - I can easily recognize a great fit on someone else, like, Tartuwolf’s HH, just about anything Marc or Mr Proper share, but I never broke down which elements contributed to the fit - I it seems like the shorter length on a Perfecto style cross-zip facilitates the V shape, but...

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    My mistake, this J106/Ridley's back is actually 25.5". Do the same length guidelines apply to cross-zip half-belts? I have a size 36 Hooch Hauler size 36, spec'd with a 25" back, now I'm wondering if I should shorten it.

    It’s definitely not a coat I would wear unzipped - the second photo shows the back when fully zipped, the remainder are unzipped

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    Wow, this has been very eye opening; so much of what I’ve learned about cross-zips has come from AeroFan, TartuWolf and Canuck Panda’s posts - and yet, I hadn’t considered the length at all, I’m 6’1” and the back is 25” even - it hits a hair below my belt, but comparing to CP’s photo array, an...

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    The fit is better when zipped to the top, but I will rarely wear it this way.

    Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

    Last month, after almost a year of stalking the two-tone J-106 in Aero’s pre-owned section, I pulled the trigger. The jacket was made in 2016 and the Vincenza is thick, supple and does not feel dry like the current production hides I’ve handled. The p2p is 21, vs the 20.25 Aero listed, this...

    Aero vs Johnson for leather cafe racer?

    They did not say nd I did not ask - I called about replacing a zipper and taking in the body on a Board Racer, they said to email for zipper options, but that they were not doing alterations any more - they never did respond to my email about the zipper either.

    Aero vs Johnson for leather cafe racer?

    I spoke with Johnson over the summer and they said they were no longer performing alterations, anyone know if this is going to change?

    Initially, I thought you laid it on the grass - the color looks even better against the shag carpeting, but no matter how it's measured, I still need at least another 1.5 inches in the sleeve
