Simon, sounds like a killer jacket but how on earth are you managing to get all these mods when Aero refuse to alter their basic patterns? Still reeling from your drastic mods to their Pioneer jacket!
Nice jacket! It's a good vintage trim fit, but you have the frame to wear it. Vintage jackets always seem to have shorter sleeves and I had to let a very nice horsehide half belt go for that very reason. Yours are probably a little shorter than some would like, but I don't think they look...
Hey Lenny, long time no post. Glad you hung on to your Highwayman, can't believe you've just treated it like that! Only joking, looks great, thanks for the pics.
Have to agree, it's not a good fit for you. I would probably add 1/2" to the sleeves, 1" to the body and pull in the side straps. Sizing down to a 40" might work but I would want to try on a test jacket before I went for for it, if you want to layer at all then perhaps not. Hope you get it sorted.
Had the same with my Aero Highwayman, lining hanging below the back of the jacket and a few weeks of wear and it drove me crazy to see it. Had my good lady wife put horizontal pleats in it. Had a 1" medium weight leather strip put in my next Aero, looks neat, does the job, what's not to like!
