    Show your graining

    A few images of my 2016 Aero LHB in Cordovan CXL Steerhide. Not much wear in 9 years of ownership but enough to show the wonderful grain that has developed since new. This is a rather heavy coat/jacket but once on it becomes a part of me so to speak. The hides used to assemble this gem are...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just beautiful - assembling the two different hides into this presentation is genius. The lining is the icing on the cake so to speak. You've got a great talent/skill - thanks for sharing another classic design.

    Beautiful coat/jacket - love the french seams that provide a custom touch.

    Thanks for your opinion of the Maverick Comp weight - I have a C2 I bought in 2016 and that leather is closer to the old comp weight and has more character/grain than my 2019 Maverick. As mentioned by other posters, your Maverick does fit well and hopefully over time it will season up nicely...

    I agree with the anonymous looking grain in the comp weight - I have the same jacket - bought in 2019 and it is just starting to develop character/grain. OTOH, the Maverick's (that we both (and others) have) in Brandy Roma is super grainy and is far more pliable than the comp. Still, it's a...

    The after image is what this pullover should have looked like in the first place - cracking job on the transition. I guess fringe was a thing back in the 1950's due to Roy Rodgers/Dale Evans, their trusty steed Trigger and Jeep Nellie Bell being on TV at the time. Oh yeah, the Lone Ranger too...

    Super nice Type III - kinda reminds me of my Vanson Maverick in Brandy Roma leather although yours if far more luxurious looking with the premium hides and brass hardware. I'm jealous but will have to push on with life.

    Style and presence - on point look as usual. Great hair too!

    I (as I'm sure others) look forward to a more comprehensive set of images of this most distinctive jacket after it arrives. Really like the contrasting stitching which gives the jacket a more custom vibe.

    To return or not to return?

    As other posters noted, the fit is not in your favor regardless of the sleeve length. If you are set on a Type-III jacket, you might consider a Vanson Maverick in their Roma leather. Torfjord and I (and some others I think) have one in the Brandy Roma. The leather is super nice and the fit is...

    It's a bold look but it WORKS! I like it.
