Wow, that jacket has worn nicely! You have to at least explore some options because it looks really swell on you.
And don't feel bad, I have purchased three used jackets over the past three months, all Schotts, and everyone of them are too short in the sleeves...among other things. Heck, I...
Hey Mickyo,
Just go to eBay Motors and search for "distressed leather jacket". Not sure what your measurements are, but there are several Harley jackets that are similar to what you are looking for. You can troll eBay for a while to see if something pops up.
For example...
The Monza by Lewis Leathers out of London, England is similar. If you are looking for the "patina" and wear, then you will have to go with a very used jacket or some fashionista type that pre-ages the jacket. Depends what you are looking for...the design or the "look" to include patina.
I wear 34" pants. Alas, this seems to always happen. I find a jacket that fits my ape arms, shoulders and chest, and then the jacket is usually too big and/or long for my torso. At a 23" length, this jacket had so much promise. Unfortunately, a 43" waste will be a bit to loose and bulky. Such a...

Sorry, missed this reply first read through...I totally agree with too much coffee. I love my Vented Bomber even though I should have ordered a factory modified version for $80 extra and 3 months wait...I'm all arms and shoulders and a short torso, so I should have had the jacket made shorter.
Try looking at Fox Creek Leather. Made in the USA. I bought the Vented Bomber Jacket and tried on the Vented Racing Jacket which was awesome but irritated my Adam's Apple. Very, very good quality and the price is reasonable for what you get. They can also arrange for the jackets to be "tweaked"...
I ordered an Aero jacket a couple weeks ago and almost went with the half-belt, but in the end I decided to go with the Cafe Ace with a bi-swing back. You waited 5 months...damn, having to wait 3 months for a pair of boots about drove me insane...it's going to be a lesson in patience. I guess...
