Thanks. I like it so much I just bought a slightly bigger one.

I think the size is the issue. It's a little big from what I've seen on here. I think the 38's and 40's go quickly, but when you get into the meathead sizes...well...

Yeah, I like it a lot, but pretty sure I'm a 42 in that jacket...

Comparing it to my Aero Maxwell in a 42, it's a completely different fit. Much roomier, almost boxy. But I find that if I wanted to layer under it, I would have to wear this over the Aero. I can get a t-shirt under that jacket, and that's about it.

Hmm, interesting... so you're a 42 in the Aero and a 44 in this Simmons Bilt (with as you say a boxier fit). Curious if you tried on a 42 in the SB?

I didn't even think about it. I sent them my measurements and they built the jacket and it's labeled a 44. The 42 from Aero is a slim fit jacket, and they weren't kidding. It fits well except the shoulders, where it's a touch tight. For the Roadster, I asked for a little more room so I can wear a sweater or layer another shirt under it.
