Excellent jacket AND fit!New here. Just got my very first "custom" jacket this morning! (it was custom made for somebody else, but it's still custom! I got it used.) Aero 1930's Half Belt, size 42, (Black?) Vicenza Italian Horsehide Leather!
Um . . . WOW! I'm 42 and so is my chest. It took my entire life to move up to this level of attire. I've been frugally trying to cheap out thus far, but this jacket just flipped the scripts!
It's not just the leather - it has SOUL, I effin' swear. As soon as I donned the mahf-k, it was OVER. This is a grail jacket, and I think I got lucky with the fit. I've never had high-arm-holes before, but my pits are loving the cozy cuddling. It doesn't look black to me. It looks like a very dark (seal?) brown. The olive colored stitching could be throwing my color-senses off, but next to other black leather, this jacket could be much more blacker.
Here's a fit pic of the new hide! (6' tall, 183 lbs, 42" chest, 34-36" waist) I'm wearing a semi-thin fleece hoody under it:

Nice Look - head to toe. The overall look and location (railroad tracks in the background?) work. BTW, those boots you're wearing - are those Red Wings?
There's a pair of 10's in the Classifieds, @MOTO Don't know your size, but have a look.Wow, GOOD EYE! Yup, they came brown, but I dyed them black, but the black is fading, so they've got "patina" now! Steel toes... Made in the USA. I'd rather have those Iron Rangers, but at that price I think I'd go with Wesco boots instead.

"I couldn't be bothered with shipping fit-jackets back and forth, getting measured, or obsessing over add-ons and custom options. Then, I used the famous, "Seville Suit Method" to break it in for me, but my gardner paid me for the trouble."
Bad@$$ sir! You look rugged as $%@#! Very, very well put together. Enjoy!New here. Just got my very first "custom" jacket this morning! (it was custom made for somebody else, but it's still custom! I got it used.) Aero 1930's Half Belt, size 42, (Black?) Vicenza Italian Horsehide Leather!
