Aero Bootlegger Fit Check - too short?

[jonbuilder]

Thanks All for chiming in!

I agree once I see a problem it can't be unseen even it's boarderline...

Off to classified it goes! Such a pity…

FYI I'm 5’11 160lb. This probably will fit best for someone 5’8~5’10

I would guess based on your frame and how you like to wear your jacket you will need to add length to the vintage patterns in the body and perhaps the sleeves like Thruston Brothers does automatically to Aero patterns.

To me that sounds like a very weird practice. If I order 25" body length, I want (and expect) 25" body length. Not 26".

I had the same issue with the first Highwayman I got. I didn't like the short length - I prefer my jacket to reach my belt. After being unhappy for a year I ordered a new one with 2" extra and I've been much happier. I'm more concerned with how I like a jacket to fit rather than how it fit 60 years ago.

They don't do that for custom orders. They just order typically a longer length in sleeve and body for their stock jackets over what the typical dimensions are from Aero to account for modern customers wearing lower rise pants.

I ordered my jacket at 24" and I got 24".
