Hi all
I am having a really hard time deciding on the correct size (40 or 42) for an Aero Original Hercules and would greatly appreciate some advice.
I was able to try a size 42 in a local store and the fit seemed pretty good. When trying to bring my hands together in front of the chest with stretched arms it felt that the back just below the arm pits shouldn't be any tighter. However, based on my measurements I would think that the correct size would be a 40, which is why I am a bit confused. And I own a Schott NYC café racer in a size 38 that fits just great.
The shop man said that the Hercules size 42 looks good, but who knows if he just wanted to sell.
What I would really dislike are sagging shoulders (i.e. jacket being too wide in the shoulders) once it gets broken in.
Would by any chance someone here own a 40 or 42 original Hercules and could take some measurements (sleeve and back length, shoulders seam to seam)? If it helps, I am happy to provide my measurements.
Advice is much appreciated!
