Fit Check Thread for Jackets

[Canuck Panda]

Me three, it looks great.

I just got this Flat Head Double Rider and I'm torn on whether the shoulders are too broad for my body. Thoughts?

IF they are too broad then they are VERY acceptably too broad. Looks fantastic in my opinion. Couldn't ask for a better fit.

I think people on TFL need a reminder that, while shoulders can never be narrower than your shoulders, extended shoulders are an established part of both leather jacket making and tailoring.

That’ll be comfortable, you may actually wear it.

I’ve had a jacket that nailed my shoulder width from a cat wall perspective and I looked like I had sticky out body builder shoulders. I couldn’t cycle my bike

Fit check on a used aero leather I got. Size 42, anyone know what kind of leather, color and style this is?

Hard to tell because your arms are lifted for the photo, though initial thoughts are looks like a good fit.

Looks like a Aero highwayman

Yep, it’s definitely hard to tell on all accounts from the photos provided as the pose and lighting make it difficult.
Still, it’s probably a Highwayman but can’t say for sure without being able to see the back.
Also, Aero jackets normally have a prominent label at the neck which at least narrows the leather used down to Horsehide or Steerhide.

Sorry about that, here’s some other pics with my arm down. And I checked the tag it’s FQHH, no idea what kind of leather or color other than brown.

Based on these photos I’d say it’s Brown Chromexcel Front Quarter Horsehide Highwayman.
Aero Leather have a guide to the hides used on their website.

Also, the fit seems fine to me.

It’s puzzling me. The side cinches don’t match any HWM. The yoke looks different. The back panel cutting creates a very tapered look, a bit like a sheene.

Is it a Sheenewayman?

Post more photos please!

It’s lovely btw and appears to fit you nicely!

The shoulders look perfect

Good point about the side cinch straps. I’d totally overlooked those.
On second viewing both cinch straps aren’t in the same position or attached in the same way as is normally found on a Highwayman. Also, the bottom leather strip or hem goes right across the side panels, whereas this normally ends at the side panel seams (see photo below taken from Aero Leather’s Highwayman page)

Exactly, but I can’t find anything else that matches. I really like that jacket.

Fit check on an N1. Wearing a UHF underneath.

Overall looks good - maybe a little tight in the chest.

Btw the face in the last pic is the stuff of nightmares.

Fit check on this Simmons Bilt. It's a 38, though I generally wear a 40. Got a great deal on it, basically unworn. Half belt in appaloosa brown horsehide, made by Moira.

This is how much my 50’s N3A parka sleeve rides up when I drive. Is this normal.
