Boy that sure sounds reassuring, your comments about mobility give me hope that I won't be disappointed with my incoming Hooch Hauler :) this is getting me hyped up

Yeah the back looks like it developed more than the front.
I went with brown CXFQHH.
How functional would you say is the back gusset now that you wore it for a year?
How's the mobility in general? Arms forward, arms up?
@3.14nche
Looks awesome both new and now. Does not look that much different to be honest. Mainly sleeve creasing. Also looks like the sleeves narrowed down a bit, don't look like pipes anymore.
How has the feel changed? Did the leather soften up, become more comfortable, mold to your body...
From my perspective part of the reason why people like me have a distaste for Schott is the confusion between the "real" US made high quality Schott and the EU made (maybe not made in EU, but for EU market?) overpriced garbage.
I might be wrong, but seems like treating dedicated rugged and most likely heavily pigmented practical riding gear and rather delicate unfinished/natural veg tan leather in the same way might not be the best idea.
Yeah I'm a bit sad that I didn't order two Aero jackets instead of one during the sale.
~590 sale price vs ~770 now. It was a fantastic chance to get an Aero, even if you do end up sending it back or selling it.

Fair enough, in terms of pure breathability goatskin probably wins over horsehide due to slightly looser grain, which makes it more usable in warm weather.
Never heard of "brewer's tails", can you drop a link? Ain't a Swede either haha.
Also it makes sense that a button up would...
@CombatWombat
I've got the impression that the leather itself doesn't have much affect on the warmth of the jacket, almost all of the it comes from the lining.
On the other hand if the leather is stiff and you're kind of fighting it all the time then I suppose you do work up a sweat much more...
@Canuck Panda
That looks incredible on you even without any laces or side cinches.
Do you regret not having them for how it looks now or for the potential future flexibility of the jacket in relation to body changes?
The quilting looks fantastic yeah. The underarm footballs seem extremely...
Not being able to wear a jacket anymore seems like a totally acceptable side effect of a considerable amount of weight loss. Does not seem like anything "tragical" to me :)
Oh my, it looks fantastic fully zipped up!
Now I'm even more convinced that the fit is stellar.
I also think that the sleeves will crease and shorten.
From how the cuffs move up along your arm when you straighten your arms I think that the sleeve length is spot on. Would ride up too much if...
Looks very nice. Some fit pics zipped up please! I remember you mentioned that you asked to increase the length but keep the pockets where they are - I guess that was the mistake. Would definitely look better with pockets lower. The back gusset seems extremely functional/useful! Looks like 5*...

Looks awesome. If I were to go for a custom one I'd spec slightly narrower shoulders and slightly shorter sleeves. And a bit more in the chest and waist if you say it feels tight. But the weight loss should help - good luck with that.
And most importantly - congratulations on your first Aero...
