Interesting. I just placed an order for a Rockafella and will see how much modification they will allow. I exchanged a few messages with Julie over Instagram, since I know she will ultimately be the one making it. To my surprise, she started making suggestions about bringing in the shoulders and...
Those stock sizing numbers are definitely weird - big shoulders, slim chest, short jacket with long sleeves. I think maybe that’s why Julie has been very generous in offering to modify the stock pattern to my needs.
I’m finalizing specs for an Aero Rockafella order. It’s been fantastic being able to talk directly with Julie on Insta to get her advice!
Before I hit the button, I just want to run it past the Lounge to see what you think about the measurements and details.

If I don’t have to replace an AC unit this year, I plan to order one of these in time for Winter.

I still occasionally kick around the idea of ordering a 5* jacket, but can never really decide what style I’d get. Today, I’m leaning towards getting something based of Kelso’s Wingman, which is based off some vintage Cossacks with a full collar and zip:
My questions are:
Could I just...
Some gas station aviators and Tres Noir 101s:
Shady Spex is another good budget brand, but right now I’m hunting for a either a copy of the OG B&L Wayfarers or a modern copy (with the original frame to arm angle that most copies miss).
