    Aero Black Cafe Racer 4oz CXL Steerhide sz 38

    I totally agree. Most people choose Aero's CXL FQHH or their Vicenza Italian hide but IMHO Aero's CXL Heavyweight Steerhide is their BEST hide by far. The grain is incredible and although it is ridiculously thick and heavy, once it breaks in, it becomes soft and supple like butter. Really an...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    I agree with what you said about BESPOKE items and I think people use the term either too loosely or just wrongly. I would like to say that I NEVER stated that Aero or ANY of the other makers, including the highly tauted Himel, JC, etc...were bespoke of any kind. People fail to realize how much...

    Perhaps but no idea how to measure that or even how to change the configuration of the jacket. I am pretty sure Aero will not do that which I am fine with. I do not have a problem with the armholes, restricting movement or digging into the pit area. I do appreciate the suggestion though.

    Thanks but see my post about BESPOKE items above. I did wear a suit for many years but happily no longer need to :)

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    Good point on Dainese. I do own a Dainese jacket and also a full body suit I had custom made. One of my close friends was a Yamaha team racer who has helped me alot with riding knowledge and also custom fitted suits. If I were to do a cross-country ride or ride for an extended period of time I...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    I do agree with the statement that BESPOKE is different from OTR, etc... What I can say is that I own many bespoke items including over 50 bespoke suits from Kiton, Brioni, Tom Ford, Camps de Luca, Cifonelli, Cesare Attolini, and several bespoke Saville Row. NONE, I repeat NONE were made...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    Agreed. In fact, Denny at Aero has already stated that they would remake the jacket to my specs or tweak it to my preferences without further issue. I was asked to wear and try the jacket on my bikes to see if it would work or not. That was what I did and I wanted to post photos as I was asked...

    I feel the same way which is why I wear body armor or an armored shirt underneath.

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    Thanks for all you wrote, I do really appreciate the advice as well as the time it took to write your thoughts. FYI, I did measure the jacket sleeves as per Aero since I have communicated with them MORE than a dozen times in the past when measuring my other jackets and getting this jacket...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    hey Craig, I actually thought the fit was not that bad besides having a couple places in the body bunch up but I was thinking it was due to the stiffness of the leather which would eventually do away when it breaks and becomes softer. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by strange fit...

    Understood. Please read my response above where I responded to Carlos for my riding style as I have multiple bikes ranging from racing to tourers.

    Thanks but what do you think about the sleeve length? No idea if you read the original post but I updated the photos and the sleeves were my original concern.
