Fit check Aero

Hello everyone,

I finally got my Aero Café Racer today. Wow, the leather is tough. I have a cowhide jacket from an unknown brand and a horsehide from Simmons Bilt. The Aero CXFQHH is amazing how hard and stiff it is. Nothing like the others. But that's what I thought. I think it will get softer and more comfortable over time. But the important thing is, how do you think it fits? I think bigger would be too big and smaller not possible. I thought about it for a long time and chose this size because I hope it will fit me even if I gain 3-4kg. I have my Simmons Bilt in a 42 and I think it's a bit too big. What do you experts think about how the jacket fits me?

Thanks

In my opinion the jacket fits you in a perfect way.

The Aero fits as good as it can get.

I had a recent years Tailgunner in 42 and it fits about half size bigger than the Aero CR I have also in 42, even though the measurements are very similar, the SB 42 felt like a bigger jacket.

Good job with providing proper fit pics (unlike the reddit fit check crowd)!
Looks fantastic on you. Not too tight, not too loose.
Especially from the back.
How's the chest if you throw your arms backward? That's usually the biggest concern despite all other areas fitting great.

Thank you. I'm wearing the jacket properly for the first time today. I drove a car with it on. Even though it is new and very stiff, I have no problems with driving or anything else. If I put my arms up, there is no problem. Not even to the side. But when I pull my arms all the way back, of course it touches my chest and there is a limit. Otherwise the jacket would be too big or too loose. Like I said, I think the size is perfect. All the comments have made me very happy. I was just worried that it might be too tight for me if I put on 3-4kg, but I don't think so. There's still some room, and it wouldn't be much fun to wear a jacket that's too big with the thought of putting on weight.

My wife also thinks that the jacket fits perfectly :)

Here are more pictures which I take now.
I love my new jacket :)
Love it, especially the length. I find many of the other jackets, especially out of japan to be too short imo. but your length is terrific. Hope my J106 comes out that way too! mine is still in customer confirmed bc I made changes and just last week added an aero hangar lol!
