Aero Indian Ranger and Daytona fit pics

[Bigbenbs]

IMO neither jackets is too short, your pants aren't high enough!

With this style of pants the Daytona is a clear winner, but both could fit well with higher rise jeans.

Any recommendations?

Any recommendations?

All i have are variations of the Iron Heart 634.
They should have a good inch if not more extra rise compared to the ones you wear it looks like.
The jeans you have in the pics sit on your hips, not on your waist.

I'd go with a pair Lee archive. Here's what your jacket looked like when I tried it on:

As @Gav observed, do not keep a borderline jacket simply because it was cheap. Your current lingering doubts will only increase over time and will prevent you from regularly wearing the jacket, and you will almost certainly end up selling it. Save the cash and get something you love, and will continue to love, and will wear regularly without any second guessing.

Are you sure you want to wear high waist pants? lol

But ... hey ... if it really bothers you then return it of course or resell and get your money back..

Also, i would like to point out that you thought the fit was good... until people started telling you otherwise.

Go to thedi websites and observe all the models wearing "too short" of jackets.

Trends change... there is nothing that says you have to wear that jacket as they did in 50s. Its individual preference.

But if you were truly on fence with fit at the start... then its probably best you offload it.

Your right. This is a kick a$$ jacket and I like the way it fits. It's a keeper.

About a year ago I didn't think I'd wear a leather jacket, so I'm willing to give it a go.

I agree with what’s been said about the jackets looking better with higher rise pants/jeans. My recommendation for jeans would be LVC or Sugar Cane. Maybe Lee 101 line could be worth looking at as well.

So there's an Apc store across the street from where I live. Stopped in and got a returnable pair of selvedge mid/high waisted jeans. I actually like the way they fit. And it does make a big difference with the jacket fit.

That looks great! Dad jeans for the win!
I think this fits you even better than you Hooch Hauler.

I personally like the low riding jeans with underlying belt look... in fact I would buy a rustic dark brown belt with a larger silver buckle...

 

[ton312]

Massive difference! Those aren't Erkel jeans either...they look far nicer and they improve the overall aesthetic of the jacket.

I know, it fit, it looked good, it was an unbelievable piece of kit... and yet it just wasn't me. I can't explain it, but I don't suit this type of jacket. I have a Board Racer which I love and feel completely comfortable in, but there's something about the classic black type biker jacket that just doesn't click with me.

I just could never get on with a big buckle belted MC jacket. I prefer a trim waisted jacket with no belt.
