Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

[Al 916]

For me, the 42 was a nice t-shirt only fit but the shoulders were a bit tight. I prefer more room nowadays.

That's sort of where I am going in a good tobacco brown.

The Maverick is a 44 and weirdly fits over a tee or a full jumper...

Yep big 42 small 44.

Tbh following H's purchase I was half thinking of getting the same, sized for me. The import would be a bit of a pain against the aero version.
I might do the sums rather than worry about all the other ****e going on.

Features of this one look identical to the RW Hercules . Leather pulls, pocket design, belt buckle, stitching.

Thank you. Yeah, the back is the same as my Herc too. Just checked it out.

I’ve been looking for a 3/4 length Hercules… if only this was wasn’t a woman’s coat. Fair deal…

I recognized it as similar (same) to the Sears Hercules but I couldn't remember the maker. My eyes aren't as sharp as others so I was searching the forum, but had to get to dinner.

Just a note for those who weren't around then:

While SB runs a couple of sizes larger than tagged now, in their early days it was the opposite. So this 36 is likely a 32 or 34.

Not sure if that is true for this particular jacket - the pit to pit is over 22"! Assuming that the owner is measuring correctly.. 59cm back length and 60cm sleeves are pretty normal for 34-36 I'd say.

We can safely assume it's the Aero MC jacket pattern, which has a huge chest and massive drop, so the chest will be big, the waist narrow. Make sure to check the hem measurement. I could see it fitting you nicely.

(As an aside: I was annoyingly misled by a dealer into not getting that deep V pattern when I was ordering my first Aero.)
