Aero J-106/Ridley fit check

[postman10mm]

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 combined with the 17.75” shoulder are a bit outside my preferred measurement range, and the reason for this post.

I love the jacket, but feel that without a sweater or scarf, the shoulders droop and the chest is a bit baggy. I’m visiting SF in January and will be visiting Johnson Leather to be fitted for a jacket - they told me I’ve the summer they are not doing alterations, but I’m planning on taking this jacket to see if they may have a change in that policy.

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

Looks like a good trim fit from here.

I wouldn't worry about the shoulder droop or the baggy chest, those look perfectly fine to me. The deal breaker for me would be the body length which is about two inches too long for the style.

Unfortunately, "too long for the style" or not I won't wear a jacket that does not at least 3/4 cover my belt. Hard stop.

As far as this jacket on you - it's as good as I realistically could expect, if anything a bit too trim (you could not put much under it.) I no longer deal with "trim fits" myself as I live in cold, windy Iowa and need a practical jacket, no matter which jacket it is.

Wear it and enjoy it!

Looks fantastic on you apart from body length! I think this is exactly how a trim looking but comfortably roomy jacket should look like. I personally wear jackets fully zipped up a lot and they always become a bit too snug for my taste when fully done up, so I would really appreciate some extra room in the shoulders and chest.

I agree, the jacket is too long
