Gustin L1 Horween CXL

[nick123]

Nick, I don't think that the Gustin leather jacket and Aero's Teamster are comparable as the Teamster is a significantly longer coat, and even Dav's Storse Teamster made by the Will Lauder regime a few years back, as I recall, still had the back yoke but no half belt / side straps that IMO adversely affected the overall look.

If you look at the Gustin and my Teamster taken from the back soon after I got it, one can see that the two are not really comparable, even though I ordered my Teamster with a 28.5" back rather than the standard 30.5" for a size 42.

After I posted here, I looked again at the pictures. My Teamster was new when the above pic was taken but found the coat is no longer stiff but has softened and gradually molded to my body over time. However, my Teamster was not IMO designed to be a trim fitting jacket, although it does not feel baggy, even when I don't layer underneath, which I frequently do during the winter as it is my cold/foul weather coat. The combination of action back and half belt design makes the Teamster highly functional, and with the back yoke included all give, to my eye, a pleasing aesthetic appearance.

You're totally right Fanch. I'm thinking of another image.
