I was advised to go with a 38 highwayman, which in a steer fit jacket zipped up with a t shirt but was too tight (I usually wear a size 42 dress coat). I owned a 42 highwayman in Horsehide had a pit to pit of 25.5 which was too big. My current size 40 highwayman in tumbled horse has a p2p of...
Mine had just the body in alpaca. When I say it was itchy I mean it drove me crazy. I'm not sure how old it was. In regard to Chicago winters, I have been through enough to suggest storm cuffs, a little longer jacket and a little extra room. Whether you get alpaca or just a fleece under...
I would personally go with corduroy or moleskin, hopefully in a jacket with room for layering. Air is a decent insulator, and a tight leather jacket will conduct the heat away from you fast. Aero's alpaca is warm, however mine was too itchy to wear comfortably and so my Highwayman is back with...
With insurance and tracking I've never been able to ship my fit jacket back for less than $60, but that was via UPS. Perhaps USPS would have been more reasonable!
I'll actually contest that. I've had maybe 4 or 5 fit jackets, and several others owned. Two I currently own are both aero cafe racers, both measure almost to the millimeter the same in pit to pit, waist, shoulder, back and sleeve length. Both with cotton lining. One is steer and one is...
Honestly, you could burn money in getting jackets sizes wrong than a plane ticket to Seattle to visit Insurrection in the U.S., or Aero directly from Europe. Try all the jackets you want on and get your sizes for future orders. While this on the surface seems crazy, a new aero will run you...

Great to hear! They have a burgundy available, it was that or red drill for my black Highwayman. .Not sure what other colors but based on your collective experience I'm leaning that way.
Techno...thanks for the photo!
