What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

@Tom71 I think that fits you just right. Was it hard to zip up?

This is a very cool color! Fits you like a glove too!

Ancient San Diego Leather Cowhide AN-J-3. Wearing/using it as a reference for other owned leather jackets as to various body dimensions of these jackets. Measurements taken from different jackets (bearing identical size/height labels) from same Mfr (Cooper) are not at all identical in length (Sleeve/Body) or chest dimensions. Very wide disparity in finished product dimensions.

Haven’t been able to take this one off. I’ve been wearing it inside the house in the mornings and evenings trying to get as much break in time as possible before it heats up here.

Super nice

You werent' kidding, that leather is gorgeous! Congrats!

Thank you gentlemen! I think the wax finish adds a nice quality/pop to the grain on this black leather. Speaking of nice leather though @JonS1967 what an absolute home run you've got with that hugging the curve....leather, fit, everything really is spot on!

Very nice jacket - love the festive lining. Looks and fits well - it works.

Cheers Mickie! The quality of details such as the Universal zippers and this blanket lining are ones I'd consider much more as an after thought, but they really can add to the whole package. "It works," well said!

Thank you all for the kind feedback!

@Unrefined Vision, I’m learning that waxed horse hide is my favorite. Something about the wax brings out a richness in the leather and seems to add depth to the grain. Your jacket exemplifies this. You said their patterns aren’t great, but yours is a winner. Looks great on you!

I finally received the custom Aero Cafe racer black cxl Steer! if you guys recall I bough a used one of cxl fqhh which was slightly too tight and short in the body and sleeves so decided to order a custom 1 size up and longer body with added 1 inch front drop, the jacket is amazing! but the pit to pit ended up bigger than expected was told the range will be 22-22.5 from thurston and average 21.5 from aero directly so after discussing with carrie at thurston we figured it should be 21.5-22.5 max which I hoped to be as close to 21.5 since all my jackets are 21-21.5 but it came at 23 and pretty much every measurement except the sleeve and back length which came at the requested size was bigger than expected.

all things considered it surprisingly looks like the extra inches don't affect the fit like I though since to my eyes the fit is almost perfect (the back I think the extra material causes it to bunch more than the used aero I have) what do you guys think of the fit? and do you think the back will settle down and bunch up less and be more flush like the used aero after some time? will add some side by side comparison pictures. the one on the left is the used smaller aero size 36 on the right the new size 38

the expected measurements vs what I received
pit to pit 21.5-22.5 ended up being 23
shoulders 18-18.25 ended up being 18.75
back 25 ended up being 24.75 (in the 0.5 wiggle room range) + 1 inch front drop
hem 18.5-18.75 ended up being 19.5
sleeve 24 as expected, after wearing it for just a few minutes and rolls formed its closer to 23.5 which was expected and those rolls are amazing!

I think it looks terrific.

As it breaks in it will settle down and conform, and I doubt the bunching on the back will matter at all.

Wear it and enjoy it.

Yes, a bit tight at the waist and lower front. It’s not unwearable, just not something I am after these days. The jacket itself is wonderful though.

 

[Pandemic]

Great fit! The added front drop definitely works for you and this style.

Took advantage of the nice weather and dug an all-time favourite out for the day: Y2/The Shop NH55 in the amazing Saddlehorse leather.
Sorry about the light. I am always self conscious taking selfies in public, so I do rush.

It does look perfect! Wear and enjoy. The extra 0,5” may come in handy in later years, believe me.
