Trust your gut feeling.I get a nagging feeling that it is too small....
I like the fit for the whole body except the shoulders.
Any advice from folks who've chosen that modification?□ Less pointy collar "modified premier collar". Any advice from folks who've chosen that modification?
§ Leather:
□ Brown CXL Steerhide. Does this affect your recommendation for sizing?
§ Lining:
□ Cotton tartan royal Stewart. Any concerns? Should I change lining for sleeves?
§ Hardware:
□ Brass hardware throughout - Everyone like brass with brown cxl?
□ One Internal pocket, no closure, wearer's left
Thank you so much @MrProper!The jacket looks good.
A size larger will definitely not look the same. Also, Aero tapers the hem only moderately (max 4"). If the jacket restricts you so much that it's uncomfortable, then I don't think this pattern is for you. With CXSH it will become rather more restrictive than less.
Fortunately, unless you're a zombie, you don't usually walk around with your arms up.
The Premier Highwayman is not a jacket for sports.
I wouldn't go for a longer front drop on this model. I think it should be shorter, like a trucker jacket. But of course it's a matter of taste.
If one of the rack fitted me like yours here, I'd just keep it and not take any further risks.
I think CXSH is great and would use it again and again. But my Vicenza is still smoother.Thank you so much @MrProper!
I see that you have at least 2 premier highwaymans including at least one in CXL Steerhide. Did you find that the steerhide broke in and became more comfortable and easier to move in around the shoulders and chest once you'd worn it enough? How much of a difference should I expect for a fully worn in jacket vs. the stock off the shelf version? Thanks again!
That looks as good it gets. How's the mobility feel?Hi everyone this is my first post but I have been following a lot of the threads and just wanted to thank everyone for their shared experiences for this noob leather jacket junkie!! I just unboxed my first higher Tier leather jacket, a 1930’s premier Highwayman in cordovan FQHH and I have fallen in love. I was concerned about the fit as I have wide shoulders as compared to my waist but Chloe at Aero recommended the gussets and added .5 in to each shoulder, it is a size 44. I am happy with the fit, anybody have some feedback?
Really good actually, I mean it’s stiff as cardboard right now but still no mob issues. I can actually use it for my motorcycle which is great.That looks as good it gets. How's the mobility feel?
