Just bought a used Aero Board Racer. This is my first non-mall leather jacket so what do you guys think, a keeper? (I believe it’s modified to make it longer than the average board racer but I don’t mind the length)
A few things I’ve noticed but heard this is fairly common for board racers / Aero:
1. Quite a bit of weight / pressure on the neck. I can probably deal with this by breaking in the collar
2. Extremely high armholes- impossible to wear this with anything long sleeved
3. Currently very stiff (was barely worn by previous owner)- this should become more comfortable with time right?
4. The back sticks out slightly (seen most obviously from the side where the jacket doesn’t contour with the lower back). How can I break in / mound the lower back of the jacket (as I’m assuming regular wear won’t break in this part)
Thanks I’m advance!
