Hi Dav
How does the jacket feel now after you broke in the horsehide? Does it feel smaller?
Do you have a picture with the jacket zipped up?
Thanks
Frank

Hi Frank
It feel very soft now, in fact a lot softer than I ever thought it would be when new. If anything I think it feels slightly larger than when new although the measurements don't support that but I stood on the scales the other week and it appears that I have lost some weight so thats probably it.
Here you go zipped up.

Thanks Nick. I just ordered one and I feel I have all the sizing right other than the length. I appreciate your help, Allen

Hi!
new on this site of am impassioned of true leather.
I have just received my first aero it is a highwayman FQHS brown. the order was size 42 “ with larges turnings 41 “and 1“ add into the sleeves/body lenght. I find that it is a little large on the level as of shoulders. I ordered a longshoreman FQHS black and I hesitate over the size I will like to take one 40 “but I make a turn of chest of 41 “because I would like that it is well adjusted with the shoulders. Can you help me to decide to me, all the amateurs of aeroleather jackets on this site are all of the specialists this is why I ask of the assistance.
Thank you it is a pleasure of joining this community.

Hi Colorado
Welcome to the FL.
If I understand correctly you're asking would a size 40 fit you if you have a 41" chest.
Yes I think you could wear a Highwayman size 40 as long as you're not planning on layering much underneath, I can't say about the longshoreman as I haven't ever tried one on, or seen one in person for that matter.
I would say your best bet is to contact Aero directly and explain your dilemma, they are very helpful.
Hope that was of some help.

A new amateur of Aeroleather Jacket

Hello Nick,
thank you very much for your answer, and your information. I have now weared my Highwayman for 3 weeks and I believe that I prefer a cut adjusted. Can you give me your tall I'm 6“ that will help me for the length of the body.
I believe by seeing all these photographs of Aero jackets that I will become one impassioned and will make of the economies to have other models like you.
It's a pleasure to have a contact with you and hope that you will understand my ridiculous english.
Regards
Manu
