Generally Aero fit can be hit or miss, it helps to know the exact measurements you'd like. So folks like @MrProper and @Salmosalar who have been replying in this thread have had success multiple times getting what they want. However, there is a learning period with the Aero patterns and you're...
In addition to the shearling section on his site, Thedi also has posted several shearling variation on instagram

As you can see he can do quite the variety of styles
@JuliaG I finally went through this whole thread to get a better understanding.
I think your best option for a custom jacket to fit right the first time without going in person is either Greg Fields at https://fieldleathers.com/ or Thedi https://thedi-leathers.com/. They both have a very high...
Yeah it’s jaw dropping really.
I wonder how the shearling does within such a shell? If the areas carrying more weight ie shoulders and collar zone end up smushing the shearling down?
There's also this magical beastie @Salmosalar cooked up, a custom Aero wayfarer with shearling lining and collar:

Yeah @handymike i also really like it, but I fear the collar may be a little large for my preference. Tough to say
I’m imagining it in black or very dark green perhaps…
@Hh121 hey man! Glad to see ya here
a nice octagon there… I also have to watch the sleeve on my vanson (a comet)
For what it’s worth I talked to Kim at Vanson a month or so ago, she said they had maybe a 46 and a 48 comet in stock in the octagon even though they weren’t listed on the site...
Kinda wild how much it changes. Cool stuff
FYI I’ve found that even slightly cropping images will get them to show upright, I think it may just be a file size thing but not totally sure.
JL today, Filson vest hiding underneath
Took the detail photo and realized I was too chilly heh
This jacket makes me feel a bit like Goldilocks…but I really like it how it’s working today
@AeroFan_07 I didn’t post this when I wore it but felt like it was a fine way to warm up with the Comet
and I wore this wool sweater earlier this week it seemed good too
@Jin431 @navetsea
Yes I still feel that my JL is a little bigger than I’d like…I suppose with all the police contracts they handle comfy/roomy is baked into their DNA.
That being said, I like the jacket and it’s VERY comfortable-wearing. In a holding pattern for now, but maybe will send it...
The wool vest here is Filson, the jacket is a Schott 370 "Duke" pretty robust rough out jacket. Guess I haven't worn it as much recently.
I like the Duke a lot. Its unlined so basically a nice wind breaker...whatever you wear underneath is what matters for temp regulation, and the sleeves...
Congrats man looks great!
I have this same model and REALLY like it, though I bought it second hand.
A custom jacket I got from JL had a random size 36 on the tag...my current Thedi has an XXL on it...who knows
