First Aero b-6 fit check

[dmace63]

First time ordering a jacket through Thurston Bros and my first aero jacket. Quality is top notch and i was expecting this to be a bit warmer and heavier as this was my first shearling jacket. Glad i didnt go with a b-3 as it doesn’t get super cold where i am at. Also wasnt expecting the leather to be so soft yet it doesnt have the plastic look i got from schot jackets of the same type. The jacket feels like it fits really great but part of me thinks it might be too “spot on” if that makes sense? I work out a lot but haven’t had the chance this past month so my normal size is a bit bigger. Other than that i keep a pretty consistent size unless im bulking crazy. I didnt want to go the custom route due to wait times and in this case i didnt think it was necessary. Excellent customer service btw and i highly recommend them for other jacket purchases but yall already know that.

In my 30s I had a jacket that was one size bigger and I loved it - it was my biggest motivation for doing bench presses but I eventually gave up lol! A decade later I finally gained like 1/2 size chest not from bench press but wearing a 25KG vest and do 50-100 press ups!

So yes it could be an issue if you bulk up seriously! But you can always trade it then for a bigger size. I’d keep a jacket that is spot on but not one with a bit of wriggling room though

Thank you just the kind of input i was looking for. Tbh i didnt even think of trading it down the line if i really need too lol. I also don’t plan on zipping it up most of the time or layering it beside a t shirt.

Thank you. Also it may be the effect of large purchase causing some doubt haha

Looks good. Undo the bottom side zippers 3/4 way to get that half belt ) ( fit look.

There's no need for it in your case.
Here's mine, which is very similar to yours. I'm happy with it. And if you have similar taste, you'll be happy with yours too.

Thanks brother and i love your style! Was considering this color and you rock it well. Vintage mixed with sneakers is my thing too and you pull it off gracefully.

Thanks

As others have said, fits you great.
I'm happy with my Aero too! Came last month, will be testing it out in Europe around New Years. Thanks for your input Mr.Proper

Great choice for a sheepskin. Fits you great and if you bulk up to the point that you need a new jacket, then sell this one and reward yourself with your new prize!!

I'm waiting so it gets cold enough to start rocking my sheepskins.
