Not the best pics :)

The Omaha one via Aero.

Should this help anyone with sizing questions..... Pike Bros N-1 arrived today and fits perfectly, as though it was made to measure I'm 6ft 2in, 44" chest, 34" waist and broad shoulders and the jacket size is L.

On the other hand...... Just getting to the end of my first Winter with my ANJ-4 and I've found it to be perfect. Live in the Midlands so temps rarely go severely low however, with being a crusty I now feel the cold more than I ever used to. If I start to get too warm in it then I just unzip it.

Managed to pick an Aero FQHH jacket up from ebay a while back and they've dated it (via the label) to be approx 35-38 yrs old, current model is listed as a Cheyenne. Looks like it's had the ass knocked off it and has likely been worn as a work jacket However it will still stand up by itself :)

Went up to Aero last week with the intention of ordering an A2 in goatskin. Was part ex-ing a couple of jackets , a Happy Days in battered horse hide and a Sheene in black badalassi so keep your eyes on their 'used' section! Walked into the showroom and spotted an A2 hanging by itself on one...

Picked this up from eBay earlier this year and first wear today. Aero CXL Steerhide, around 30-35 yrs old and very well broken in. After a few cleans with saddle soap the leather is a buttery feel to the touch yet will still stand up by itself.

I'll admit that all my jackets are Aero. Two reasons for that....firstly they're not a million miles from me so I can go up and have a look at something I want...secondly they have my fit nailed. Ok, prices have gone up yet I still feel that what you actually get is still good value.

J106 with KOTR back in Tobacco Badalassi.

No issues at all with mobility. The reason I went for that back was simply due to the fact the belt disappears into the kidney panel bit and thought it looked a little cleaner.
