Hello good folks of TFL, hoping everyone is well & safe
Just received a new jacket from Thurston Bros, this is a Sheene in Natural CXL. I would love to have your views on the stretch marks on some parts of the jacket. I have more than a few CXL jackets in both Steer & FQHH, and although I...
Glad to contribute to the forum. Actually I did ask them the same question around an year back, and they kind of clearly said there was very little chance this particular jacket will be back in CXL. At that point, they had 4 jackets in their linup, all in cow/steerhide, one being this one. They...
Thanks @tropicalbob. I am a sucker for natural CXL, and this was my first jacket in this combo. The zippers do feel weak vs the heavy leather, but other than that, it feels great, well constructed and fits well. I think Carl Murawski went with the wrong sizing & that is why he felt the fit of...
Given @jimmer_5 inputs today, I measured the P2P, and it is actually 24" laying flat, which makes sense given the 42 size. Here is a pic with a measuring tape
Please ignore the color of the jacket coming out in this picture, has been shot in artificial light.
Thanks @jimmer_5 for pitching in...
Thanks @jimmer_5. Your inputs are highly appreciated. The original seller had listed it as new jacket, most likely since he purchased from Aero directly. But it does seem to be your jacket as per the details you have mentioned.
I will measure the chest again and update the measurements(I...
Hey there. I am 5.9", around 80kgs or 175 lbs.
41 inch chest, 18 inch shoulders
I usually wear a size 38 or 40 Aero CR, this one is size 42, so a bit loose for me, especially at the sleeves.
Hello everyone, just an update - have put the jacket on sale, just listed it on the classifieds thread. If any of you is interested, please let me know. Here is the link to the listing -

For sale is a beautiful Aero Sheene in Brown CXL FQHH, with contrast stitching, Light tartan lining, one inside pocket & zippered sleeves
Got this one only a couple of weeks back, bought from the original owner of the jacket. Here is the link...
Couple of pics taken outside, pls ignore the outfit, I am trying to break it in by wearing it anywhere and everywhere possible, even on morning walks. I think fit looks decent, including the sleeves. I believe it is conforming to my body
I also feel that way about this jacket, that it is a definite keeper, that is the only factor in favor of getting the sleeve shortened. But still I will hold for now, today I wore the jacket with one light sweater, and the sleeves looked more fitted. I think If I wear it with a heavier layer...
Thanks @handymike @AeroFan_07 @Boyo @ton312 @dudewuttheheck @Finn Vigorous @navetsea @lina @patrick_b @zebedee @Mandarin for your views and guidance
I think I will simply use the jacket as it is. I like the jacket quite a bit, but in case I continue to have doubts regarding the sleeve length, I...
Thanks @KissMyMuscle , I will get in touch with them soon. How was the work done by BoundAries on your schott? As per Carrie from Thurston Bros, I shouldn’t get into alterations since it will mess up with the zipper length
But if there is a good alterations shop recommended, I would consider...
Thanks @navetsea . I will definitely try that. By the way I am located in British Colombia, Canada
Can forum members recommend any good leather alterations point in Vancouver region?
