That folding/puckering on the front of the left shoulder would be a complete deal-killer for me. It's not sewn right. Look at the seam where the sleeve attaches to the body - it's laying flat. And look at the seam where your collar attaches to the body - it, too, is laying flat. But the leather between the two seams is all messed up. Looks horrible. Can you even get it to lay flat? It looks like those folds are permanently sewn in. Surprised it got past quality control.
I'd send it back and ask for a remake - and get the sleeves 1/2" longer while they're at it.
When I received the jacket there was NO puckering so maybe after a few hours of riding and due to the leather stretching it could have caused the puckering? No idea as I have never owned a Board Racer so do not know if this is supposed to happen.
Could you please explain how to fix this problem or avoid it in the future so I can relay this info to Denny at Aero?
I do know that it has NEVER happened to any of my Cafe Racers in the past including the black 38 CR in CXL Steerhide you see in the photo above which is well broken-in and SOFT as butter !!
It seems the majority here feel that I need to return the jacket and ask for a remake which was my original intent as well. Denny asked me to give it a try and so I have. It really is a shame as the TRULY LOVE the deep and rich color.
My goal was to try the Board Racer style since it encompasses everything I wanted in a jacket made for riding. I have to get the fit spot on as I intend to order 2 or 3 more (black and maybe brown CXL FQHH) with the SAME specs so I want them to be near identical if possible. They will all be used for riding and the occasional casual wear but I have many other jackets for casual wear as well.
