Johnson Leathers San Francisco CA they can make a jacket for not much more than the cost of a new preowned Aero jacket.
I have almost the same drop (44"-->32") and my Sheene fits fine with a standard back. My Sheene is just a regular size 40, no drop sizing or anything like that. I'd look for anything in Aero's cafe racer pattern, it should fit you fine with no alteration.
Do you like either of the 2 jackets that I sent the links for yesterday?
I'll send you photos of the Model B also.
I shall provide measurements when I get home tonight, if you are interested.

Just ate half a pizza. 217, 6'1", 33 waist today. Not a competitor, just want a badass jacket.
Ok...... I think I have the answer here........ What is this "HALF A PIZZA" baloney!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
What you need to do is stop with all the weightlifting brother!!!! Those things are damn HEAVY!!!! What is this "EXERCISE" stuff you speak of???????
Anyway, 1.) You stop with the weights and 2.) You eat A WHOLE PIZZA. Like....regularly. Stop with this HALF business...... Stick to these two simple lifestyle hacks and you'll have little to no drop from your chest measurement to your waist thereby making your jacket search much easier.
Seriously though, I second and third the Johnson Leathers recommendations. They do really good custom work for less than most of the more famous brands we all revere and with a generally more palatable wait time. They just lack the mainstream fanfare. Give them a call. If you are going to pay for leather tailoring/customizing-----which is specialized and costly, do it from the jump. Other than sleeve shortening, zipper replacement and re-lining none of which come cheap, leather alterations/tailoring have never worked out for me. Best of Luck.
Ha ha. Well, I mentioned the pizza to explain my gut puffing out.
Everyone here has convinced me to not alter a jacket - I am now targeting a Sheene or Bootlegger in my size.
Call me a snob but it matters to me that it says Aero on it. Also, all the glorious interweb pics of amazing marbled brown hides is too good to resist. Know what I mean? Stupid I guess but that's where I sit.
