Aero Premier Highwayman on the way to me from classifieds via @ErgaOm
Finally one with my measurements popped up, super stoked.
If it works out I'll probably end up selling my Hercules half belt, closet is getting full and I'm still expecting the remake from JL...
A morsel compared to the Carlos and Marc's feast above, I have this vintage Lee vest with the interesting pocket heading my way. Consider it a palate cleanser.
Thanks JMax. It’s tight but it works. Maybe the zipped look will grow on me over time
Thanks Justin. Been thrown off by the advertised shortness…but turns out it’s just great (for me at least heh)
Thanks Al. If it’s any help for sizing I’m 5’9” 180# with about 41.5” chest
Hah yeah, finding one that's just the way you like can be like hitting the roulette wheel over and over.
This is also the first time my less "jacket-inclined" half has given me "Is that a new jacket? I really can't tell but you're acting like its new." She doesn't give me a hard time about it...

Really big fan. Fits much better than the Royale Enfield (which seemed better made for someone taller and smaller). Feels good. Leather is tough but pliable. It’s well-made but not at all refined, big zippers and brute vibes...
Cracking me up man
All I gotta say, is I offered to make modification to order for remake to be less expensive (like YKK instead of Riri) and Damon said no, we’re gonna make the new one to your original request but it’s gonna fit this time.
Damon said they’re going to make a new jacket rather than slim this one down.
I actually didn’t ask for any specific remedy, that was his response to my pics and description of the fit.
Honestly I feel like if we just added to the front length and made no other changes from the fitting, the...
I would agree if we didn’t do the fitting jacket and instead I just sent him specs to build from. I sent a ton of pics from different angles and poses and even a video of me moving in the fitting. The fitting did seem tight and short. I went with the recommended changes. So not sure what was...
Damon is having me ship the jacket and the fitting back. They’re going to compare measurements and make it right.
I measured the jacket ptp and it’s about 23.25”, they were aiming for 22.75” which would have been generous but tolerable.
I was surprised by his response, but very happy...
JL is going to make a new jacket. They’re going to compare the fitting to the current jacket and make it right.
I did talk more about the jacket (especially the fantastic leather) in the Johnson Leather thread for those who are interested.
