Sorry to say, but I think this jacket looks unflattering - especially around the hemline.
When I saw the pic above, I thought you had the jacket unzipped and it flared out like that.
But I see that the leather pull is at your chest.

With that hem, you could fit 2 of you in there.

However, I saw your fear about getting a jacket that is too tight. So if this is what is comfortable to you, my opinion doesn't matter anyway.

So i am currently sending it back and hopefully i something else pops up later on closer to a more slimmer fit. It *****

Its going back

I can recommend going second hand on Aeros. Unless you like breaking in CXL horsehide, I guess.

I had to wait more than a year for the right used Aero at the right price, but I landed one from eBay that I like very much for $300.00 and it was worth the struggle. It fits like a glove yet I have full range of movement, it's already half-way softened up and suits me very well. There's still TONS of wear left in this guy - for $300 this was a no brainer for me.

Just food for thought. Good luck finding one to make your own!

When a jacket folds on itself in the back like that it is at least one size too large in the chest:

What you need is a size 40 with 1" extra in the arms, 2" removed from body length and a 21" bottom hem side to side.

That would look good and fit well.

I'm 6'2", 195lbs and the measuremnts of your jacket would be too big for me... I wear a size 40 in Aero leathers.
I would not attempt alteration as the pattern is just not great for your body shape, i would try something else.

Yes you are right, i have sent it back already and hopefully something else pops up on their page. Or i might place an order on Simmons Bilt. I am receiving some leather samples soon

Good choice. I know you really wanted to make it work, but you were just going down a road leading to a dead-end
