Good looking half belt, looks very well made. I've yet to own a goatskin jacket, but looking at the quality of that hide and the way it's draping already, I'd be very tempted. Great fit too, enjoy!
Nice jacket mate, my favourite pattern from Aero's recent designs. Can't believe how quickly the grain is showing, should be a killer when it's broken in. As for fit, it's such a personal thing but I would choose more length in the body and sleeves. As it stands it's probably period correct...
Don't know if this one has been discussed, but just spotted this Ironheart/Alexander collaboration. Cafe racer with a collar!

Ishmael - that's a cracking jacket/coat. Nice length, button cuffs, button front but no half-belt, I could wear that all day long. It's like traditional car coat from the back, but a Maxwell from the front - Killer! I would probably loose the throat latch though.
For me, it's just a bit too short. Sleeves down to the first knuckle of thumb, add 1 /2" to the back and it's perfect. These are only personal opinions, of course, it's what *you* feel comfortable with that matters. As you've asked the question though, you must have doubts. From my own...
After a spate of selling and trading:
Aero - Highwayman, Pioneer
Pike Bros - N-1 Deck jacket
USN - Peacoats x2
Carhartt - Detroit
Barbour - x2
I'm clearly very deprived of outerwhere and need a lot more jackets! A New aero is on order :-)
