Looks great on you. I think it was a good choice to go for a shorter style, with your height, any longer jacket would look like a tent. 6'7", what the heck. 
Congratulations on your first Aero. It'll look even better once you have properly broken it in!

I think it's great! Truly great. That's what I'd want a jacket to fit so... Job well done.

Great jacket, I agree with jacketjunkie about the length, tall people sometimes add too much to the length of their jackets and it can look a bit silly in my opinion. My own jackets tend to just overlap the top of my belt but I think they look better that way. I generally add one inch to length and no more, as beyond this the pattern of the jacket can get lost.

Well, I know how hard it is for my measly 6'-4", 235lbs to find a jacket, so you have my sympathy!
That said, looks like you did well.
Most jackets I get also hit at or just above the waist, so for me, the look is "normal". Some guys might call it short, but at a certain point, you make the best of what Darwin gave you.
Well done!

Very nice indeed. Is that the regular HWM with button cuffs added, or a variation on the Premier 30s version?
Either way, it looks superb. The fit is absolutely spot on.

You are correct! It is a regular with button cuffs added. Thank you!!
