You mean fit pictures thor?
Yes; the photo in post 255 looks very nice but a fit pic seems to be the one thing that brings "closure" and a happy ending to a thread

It is the most amazing leather jacket I have EVER seen! It is perfect. Exactly how I wanted it to be, and so 50s looking.
I cannot wait to receive it.

29 pages one not very good photo... come on, some fit photos, Dave.

My word!
Very cool mate. Do they much of a selection at Pickings and Parry? I'm in Canberra, but I try to get to Melbourne at least once a year? It would be handy to actually sight these things in real life and see some of the different leathers in the flesh.
Dave, you've fulfilled your obligation to us.
However, that jacket eventually deserves a HQ photo shoot in some good lighting, because it's just so good looking, and that model doesn't have a lot of good photos on the web. That's the obligation to the jacket. If it was a Highwayman or 30s Half Belt we'd let it slide. But nope, it's a rarity to be seen here.
lol
Thanks Nick. And phew, that's a relief!
I'm glad I have fulfilled my obligations, because ALL of you guys were a great help. Without this forum and your advice (all 29 pages), I would never have been able to make a purchase - I just wouldn't have felt comfortable enough deciding on which jacket, which leather and knit selection, nor on my measurements. And even though it was still a stressful process for me (and you guys too, having to put up with me), it was worth it. I think I did get my first Aero right, and I hope you guys agree.
Thanks again guys.
Dave
Enjoy your jacket. Those 29 pages were worth it.
