In keeping with completely ignoring my decision that I have enough jackets, I've taken possession of 2 previously owned jackets in the past month or two.

The first was LaymanX's Board Racer Sheene, nice jacket but after the initial alteration of slimming the waist, I still think its too long of me so its probably going to move on soon.

My other was this purchase which I couldn't be happier with.

Classic Aero FQHH Black Cafe Racer, for those days when I'm not in the mood for the longer Buco J-100.

Size 40, 2 pocket, classic full action back. Regular fit on me, not too slim, perfect back length for what I was after. The sleeves are a touch long but they will just crease up a bit more. Its been broken in nicely and has a slight hint of brown showing through on the sleeves. Pretty sure this one is a keeper.

I agree with your assessment and really like this one on you. The jacket has a great look to it already, it's breaking in beautifully. The cafe racer is a great pattern, even though it's now overshadowed by it's sibling, the Sheene.

I think both of them look great. If I had to pick one I'd go with the racer but that's just my personal preference.

Hi ProteinNerd, really cool jackets both of your new acquisitions. Have you decided to let the Sheene Board Racer go? I might be interested, let me know and I'll PM you.
Cheers mate.

I'm beginning to think that the classic CR fit suits my body shape better than the BR fit

I agree! Looks like the BR is tighter in the shoulders... From what i have seen the BR is best for people who are pretty straight from shoulders to waist, whereas the CR works best on V shaped people.
They both look good, but the CR amplifies the V and suits you a little better.

Now, more importantly, there is no such thing as to many jackets! Just ask Tmitchell...
Saying that, you do live in one of the hottest countries on earth, and climate warming isn't going to help.

Both look excellent but I prefer the CR just a tiny bit. Great sleeves! I find Aero CR to be their most perfected number as I have yet to see an ill fitting one.
