I have had my Cheyenne for about a year and initially it was huge. I sent it back to Aero and they re-tailored it, but I was never happy with the fit. I put it up on ebay and was all set to sell it, but when it had no bids at 6 days, I decided that I would keep it rather than sell it for a song...
Honestly, I think that the Aero jacket sizes are vanity labeled. If you go to Insurrection's website, they state that the Aero Cafe/30's halfbelt are one size too large and that the Stewart is two sizes too large.
My pit to pit on my 38 measures around 22". I think that most buyers...
A year is a long time and I know how you feel.
I've been waiting for my Goodwear for a year. At this time, I figure I've already waited a year, so I might as well wait a little longer. I have enough jackets to play with, so the wait isn't too bad!
However, if I was going to buy an Aero...
Just received my peacoat from Vintagetreads. The first one I got had a rip on the bottom hem and a hole in the seam between the arm and the body. I sent it back and emailed Gary to look at a specific coat on their site. He inspected it personally and it was in near mint condition- 1968 Kersey by...
LOL, yeah crazy right? The crazy thing is that there 60 dollars more now! http://www.ironheart.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=23. Another great site is http://www.selfedge.com/
However once you start wearing selvedge jeans, you start to appreciate the fit...
Besides the Chapal coats, there is a really good selection of stuff on the website. It's kind of funny to me that people seem outraged by the prices :). Many of my friends (and wife) are shocked to see how much I spend on Aero, Langlitz, jeans, cars, golf clubs, etc. If someone told me 10 years...
Hey the nice thing is that it appears that they do have a number of Aeros in stock. So if you want that D1, you can wear it this winter instead of next!
Great coat and sweater!
My concern with the rollneck sweater is how rough/itchy is it? I almost bought the Northsea version (http://www.northseaclothing.co.uk/submariner.html), but heard that it is pretty itchy.
Rudie, I don't know if it's possible, but I know that Insurrection has a lot of Aeros in stock. Take a look at their website and give Wade a call. That way you'll be able to try on the jacket and if it doesn't fit, return it and try on another one.
Be careful of the Barnstormer! I think that...
There are a lot of people on this forum who have had excellent jackets made for them by Aero- Jan and Griff are among them. However, with my 3 Aeros, the only one that has fit me well is my off the shelf halfbelt. The other 2 jackets were custom ordered, but never fit me quite right.
I may...
Wade was the one who convinced me to take a 38 rather than a 40. Also, I think Insurrection's jackets have 1 inch added to body and sleeves, which also suit the jacket well.
Rudie, what is your jacket tagged? I have a 40" chest, 32" waist and was recommended a 40 by Amanda. I think if I had taken the 40, the fit would have been similar to yours.
I definitely have some "batwing" when I raise my arms, but not to the extent that you have. I don't think that the jacket is quite fitted right for you. It seems that it's just too loose for you. I really love the fit of my halfbelt and the funny thing is, it's an off the rack size 38. It fits...
Just a heads up. I'm putting my Cheyenne up on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/260882468170?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1218
