Aero Teamster in Battered Seal

Thanks to the outstanding service by Carrie at Thurston, just received my new CXL Teamster in battered seal. The leather and finish is exactly what I was hoping for. After selling an AL Roadster that was too short, I'm thrilled with the length of this jacket. This is a cold weather jacket, so I wanted a little more room for layering and comfort. Modern, form fitting just doesn't work in the cold MN winter.

My only slight concern is that the shoulders feel a little boxy and possibly make the jacket look too big for me. Take a look at the pics and let me know your honest thoughts!

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Really appreciate it. It's good to know that the shoulders might settle down a bit as I wear it in. I did the Harris tweed lining and it is actually quite warm!

In my opinion your jacket looks perfect. Right sleeves lenght and a right back lenght for a winter jacket. Feeling of room in the shoulders is given by the bi-swing style, like B6 back style, but from the pictures it seems a perfect fit. Congrat.

Exactly what I was going to say... the bi-swing back gives it that nice square look. Perfect fit!

That jacket fits perfectly, and you wear it well - you could be a model in a catalog selling those!

It is true that the shoulders will relax, round off, and conform to the shape of your body more, but, frankly, that's not going to be an improvement on the perfection you have right now.

To be fair it wasn't what one would consider a real world experience, the guy was rated #3 in the world (and had to stand on a stool to play due to being a dwarf) but Minisoda looks like he has some guns.
Fits like it should!
I never thought of foosball as a weapon of mass destruction. For me it was always poolballs that flew off the table.

Hah! I have a whole arsenal of them locked up in the safe, but that's about the extent of it!
