I hope we'll see how the jacket fits. It will be very warm in it

Old photo, lost a tone of weight since I took this. Fits much better now.

Nice jacket. Wish I had one like it.
I have seen you in multiple jackets that all look great on you. There's one I haven't seen you wear that in my mind is the perfect jacket to compliment that sense of presence that marks your arrival in the room. It's a stout leather black peacoat. Maybe a pair of black leather gloves to set it off. They're a little like the CHP jackets in that not just anyone can pull off the look but some can and one of them is you. I've had that thought pop into my head after each of the last few photos I've seen you post.
Next time you set foot in a leather shop please try one on and tell me if I'm right.

You are right in that @Worf has a presence. He can wear any jacket and make it look good with his intimidating presence. I have known him as long or longer than anyone else on this board, and I can tell you that while he may look intimidating, he is really just a big Teddy Bear when you get to know him.
That's how I feel every time I put on my shearling.

The jacket fits perfectly
Regarding Aero's sheepskin, I think it's this stuff listed here. It's the same general weight and colors offered. I think SB and Aviation Leathercraft use the same sheepskin, I've also seen a very dark brown shearling that Aero used recently and a black one. I've been trying to source the black one but I don't even know what the tannery is.

The jacket had a belly in it. A ton was taken out of the midsection.
A small amount was removed from the sides to remove the balloon effect. The width of the natural waist is now roughly the same as the hem.
Hey guys - a question.
Which sheepskins have side handwarmer pockets one can actually use? While I love the look of Aero's Arctic Issue B3, I absolutely cannot come to terms with lack of handwarmer pockets on a winter garment.
I get historical accuracy and the fact you did not need handwarmers because you needed your hands to fly a bomber aircraft - I get all that, but I need handwarmers if I ever am to get an aviator-style sheepskin jacket.
Suggestions?
