Great jacket

 

[Al 916]

I wanted warm and decent quality at a no name price. It should match and, albeingwell fit..

 

[Bennarion]

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

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.

My immediate feeling is of teddynessness.......... and, wanting to spend the rest of my days in this warm place.....
An inch on the waist for the extra layer.

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.

I finally took the plunge and had the jacket altered by my leather cutter in the place that had always bothered me.
You might not be able to see it as much in the photos, but now it fits me better and, above all, I like it better.
