Hey, I may be very interested in this. I have a Sz 40 Vanson (that I love) that I feel is a smidgen big on me. How did you measure the shoulders? Measuring my Vanson, I'm way off on shoulder width compared to your measurements.

The measurement I gave here were taken from the Aero tag (see attached pic)
I measured it now myself (shoulder seam to shoulder seam from the back) and it looks more like 17.75"!
Keep in mind that as others mentioned in this thread, you can go lower on the shoulder to shoulder and the sleeve length will compensate (sleeves will ride higher a bit).
My 2 other leather jackets are 18.75" and 18.5" and fit only slightly more roomy in the shoulder.

Just got back from the post office picking up this jacket... and I gotta' confess, I'm a bit sad...

Sad that it is so hot outside! This coat is absolutely gorgeous and I want to wear it everywhere. It's exactly what I was looking for (I was looking for an Aero August) but this so better than I even expected.

And it fits perfectly. Snug in the shoulders, especially for a 40, but not tight. I've always been between 38 and 40, so this really works. This is also my first HH coat and wow, is it stiff. I've had a few Vanson coats and thought they were stiff, but nothing like this. It just feels great! Oh, and it smells so good.

I'm going to wear the hell out of this jacket!

Thanks so much, Borisna! You really went above and beyond in shipping and communication, which is part of why I am posting this publically. :)

Just a quick follow up. This has become, probably, my favorite leather jacket of all time! It's my first HH and I'm just over the moon about how it's wearing in. I absolutely love how the color has darkened; it doesn't even look like the same coat. It's still a smidgen tight in the shoulders. I can't wear even a flannel shirt, let a lone a sweater, with it, but that also make is really comfortable all the rest of the time.

I even connected with Julie Leitch on instagram https://www.instagram.com/julieleitch1/

What an update! Thanks for sharing. I really love this jacket but the fit didn’t line up for me. Really cool jacket and how neat to connect with Julie.
