    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    I'm glad I could be of help! If you like grainy leathers, might I suggest CXL Bison? It's supposed to be very grainy, and very juicy... This particular model is the Zip Sleeve HWM; I like it better because it's a more simple design IMO and I totally dig the front yoke. A piece of advice: go...

    Thedi Cafe Racer Italian Horsehide

    My oh my, you just keep hitting them out of the park! That is one lovely Thedi leather jacket, very reminiscent of the Buco J-100. You have got one great collection, mate :) I imagine this one smells divine...

    Teamster and dustbowl

    Nick, those are about the best looking Teamster pics out there! Along with the other ones you posted :D Bunyip, I pulled the trigger on a Teamster yesterday. I went with Cordovan FQHH, size 38 (I wear 38 in my zip sleeve HWM, J106 and Vanson Model B), 26" sleeves, 27.5" body length (I'm 5'9"...

    Definitely, and it's got plenty of molding left to do. Can't wait to see how it looks in half a year.

    Thanks, Nick. I hope you work it out! Perhaps a Premier Fit Highwayman would work wonders for you! I will definitely never stop appreciating my HWM, I promise you.

    I somehow recknognize that-- kind of feels like you're cheating, doesn't it? I do hope your Johnson satisfies you enough so that you won't feel too sad from having sold the HWM :)

    Thanks, my good man! This is a piece advice to all fellow Loungers: If you're not sure about a jacket from the start (but you don't 100% feel there's something wrong with it); give it a chance!! I was debating for a while if I wanted to sell my Vanson, constanly looking in the mirror, wondering...

    ^Indeed! Had the same thing with my Vanson Model B. Felt it was a bit too large but I love it now. How it looks now: How it looked out of the box: Brando, that is one GORGEOUS jacket! Very nice, I call for a fit pic.

    Fits picture of my BK Werber 1402-P A2.

    VERY nice!! That hide is showing some amazing grain in a short amount of time.

    Aero Highwayman sizing

    Thank you for the kind words, sir (This goes for all gentlemen)! The jacket is steer. It's very heavy & thick & juicy, and I say only go for steer if you like a thick, heavier leather. Jacket weighs about 9lbs.

    Aero Highwayman sizing

    The pit to pit is 23". 22" is my sweet spot. But I'm a spry lad, and I'll probably have some growth left in me, so I'd better not buy my jackets too tight. I agree with you, though; the HWM fits large in the back. But I don't mind. I think going down 2 sizes would've made this jacket too narrow...

    Good Wear Imperial

    Outstanding jacket! Very well done, my friend!

    Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

    Thank you, sir! The jacket is looking better and better each day. The fit is very nice-- it's loose and relaxed, well suited for layering, but it doesn't look too big. Best thing is it's nice and snug in the shoulders.
