I'm considering both the standard and premier!Premier or regular 30's Half Belt?
From what I understand sizing would go 50's HB > 30's HB > Premier 30's HB
Maybe if you tell us your size, people can chime in with some measurements?
Thanks PN. I have the feeling too but I love the collar shape and slimmed down torso. Perhaps I should just go with the standard 30's pattern for a trimmer fit than my 50's.I'd guess the shoulders on the premier HB would be way too narrow for you Ton.
I tried that and became more confused. The sale sight has 44" w/ smaller p2p's than my 40" bootlegger!I have a 1930 HB in 40 and a 1950 HB in 38. The fit is very similar but the 1950 HB has a boxier design.
A easy way to answer your question. Take a look at the Aero Sale/Used/Vintage site. You will find 1950 und 1930 HB with measurements so you can compare them. Consider that a Jacket in FQHH feels a half size smaller than a jacket made in the Italien Horsehide (Vicenza) imo.
That's a good idea. Never thought of asking for that. Might be the way to goIf you are after a much trimmer fit you can always specify say a 42 chest tapered down to a 40 waist in the 30s Half Belt if it isn't trim enough for you already. I've done that on a lot of my jackets.
Thanks for the info! This helps! I'm thinking a 42" will give me the trim fit I'm after.Hey Tony, if I could bear it I'd ship my 30's Steerhide HB over to you for a week or so, it's a 44 (with Insurrection specificed added body and sleeve length) and it fitss just a little more loosely than the Alexander leathers jacket that you sold to me. I have room underneith for a sweatshirt, but it's still not a boxy fit. I'll see if I could get a fit picture to you soon on it. Just for your referance I'm 6' 1" 195 lbs and have a 36" jeans waist size. I think the 44 in a 30's would be just a bit loose on you, a 42 might be on the snug side. My cafe racer, also Aero and Steerhide is a 42 and it fits nearly identical to the Alexander jacket. Thanks
