I think the point is it doesn’t! For clarity I was joking—I didn’t tip with any expectation of faster turnaround, and five star certainly haven’t ever suggested a tip would speed things up.LOL....A tip moves you up in the queue? That's outstanding.
Oh cool! I hadn’t made the Earhart connection, but seeing the pit gussets I think that’s what I got. Ordered an A1 but with zipper and sent one of your old fit pics as reference, plus a few details.. got an Earhart. Fine by me!This was my first jacket from 5*
The pattern was based on a picture of Amelia Earhart's jacket.
This was also the first time that the jacket was folded in such a way that the desired measurements were visible on the measuring tape. It then had to be reworked to achieve the desired dimensions.
I got it second hand from a TFLer so I don’t know.Is that Dustbowl modified? Looks like a Premier collar…
There should also be a significant front drop on that model.
If I were to get an Aero, it would be a Seabiscuit for the collar!
Thanks. If I’m being totally honest I think the 5* fits better. Maybe it’s not a fair comparison because I specified the measurements for the 5* and the aero was made for someone else but the measurements are about the same.Let’s see the back!
In the photos that 5* looks great on you.
Fair question. The top in the back photos and the bottom in the front photos is the 5*Newbie question maybe; which is which?
I wouldn't write Aero off based on this jacket. Some Aero patterns are more refined than others. If I remember correctly I've given you a list of Aero patterns I'd recommend some time ago ?Thanks.

Measurements vs patterns, two different things. I don't think you'd get a better fit out of this Aero pattern if you'd order one custom.Maybe it’s not a fair comparison because I specified the measurements for the 5* and the aero was made for someone else but the measurements are about the same.
Yes, 100%. I’m not writing Aero off at all. In fact, I have a bird of prey on the way. I canceled my speedway order because I have a Regius straight zip coming. This Dustbowl pattern just doesn’t do anything for me.I wouldn't write Aero off based on this jacket. Some Aero patterns are more refined than others.

Nice, if I were to order an Aero it would either be a Speedway or a Bird of Prey. Or a GrizzlyYes, 100%. I’m not writing Aero off at all. In fact, I have a bird of prey on the way.

You will need to hike up your jeans to where you really feel it down below for both those models from AeroYes, 100%. I’m not writing Aero off at all. In fact, I have a bird of prey on the way.

Mine is coming in a 25” back length, so it should be just fine.You will need to hike up your jeans to where you really feel it down below for both those models from Aero
Have you taken into account the 3" front drop? You don't want it to look like a coat from the front.Mine is coming in a 25” back length, so it should be just fine.
