Hi—I’m ordering a custom Board Racer from Aero through Thurston Bros. Working with Carrie. I’m 5’11”, 175 lbs and approaching 50 years old. Want this jacket to be comfortable and functional for everyday wear; I live in Northern California and don’t ride (yet...).
This fit jacket is a 42. For some reason, it looks really different based on the angle of the photos. The chest and shoulders feel pretty tight with anything more than a T-shirt. Thinking of going with Bainbridge abyss blue in a hybrid 44 on top/tapering down to 42, Add 0.5” Body length, shoulder gussets, kidney panel, cotton sateen, moving sleeve zips to back (no straps), with straight pockets (no stars), nickel hardware with main zip brought closer to end of hem.
For comparison, I have a 38 Aero Highwayman (wish it we’re a bit longer in sleeves and body), a 42 Aero Ridley (Fits great), and a 40 Aero Teamster (slightly roomy but good for winter/layering). Appreciate any and all advice!
