    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    Thanks, Griff! I'm getting a 38-1711-p this October in FQHH so I'm really curious as to how different it feels from the steerhide in a jacket; the steer & horse samples felt pretty much the same. The corduroy does feel amazingly luxurious in the sleeves but it makes the sleeves hard to zip up...

    New Aero Premium Slim Fit 1930's Half Belt

    I agree, length looks very good. Wonderful jacket, and it suits you really well.

    Thanks, Outlaw! The Vanson looks much better now after some wear, but it's still got a lot of breaking in left to do. The 641HH comes standard with quilted lining, the steerhide version comes with a zip-out liner. The shininess has worn off a bit and the leather is just growing a beautiful patina.

    @all Thank you for the kind words! It's what I love so much about the community here, gentlemen complimenting eachother on their snazzy outfits and discussing leathers, fedoras & the like. @Monitor Thank you, I will! Wonder how it'll look in a year... :) Those engineers are Chippewa Steel-toed...

    4.5oz steerhide, added body & sleeve length, cord lined sleeves, strome weight Tartan.. All factors that weigh in :) I'm not exactly sure it's 4.5kg, though. That's what it said on the shipment invoice but some of that weight is from the box it came in. I'll measure sometime.

    Thanks, I agree! I've gotten more used to them now and I also think they're perfect.

    Finalizing my Aero Sheene

    That depends on the kind of back the jacket has. I believe the Sheene comes with shoulder gussets as standard (?) but you can have it anyway you'd like. A bi-swing back provides the MC jacket range of movement, and a normal back doesn't allow for this range of movement which feels too...

    New Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman, LOVE IT!!!

    More pics, taken in daylight by a friend of mine... I have to say the fit is great and the jacket is starting to break in a bit. The jacket leaves a bit of growing room, yet feels snug when I wear it. It doesn't fit loose or baggy at all. The brown almost looks like cordovan in the...

    I think it's a regular Half Belt Deluxe, the same pic was posted on Facebook as a Half Belt Deluxe. Could be just an error :)

    Finalizing my Aero Sheene

    The sleeves look a bit long in the fit pic, reducing the length by 0.5" seems like a good choice here. You don't wanna reduce the length too much as the sleeves will shorten with wear (wrinkles), and you don't want the sleeves riding up when you lift your arms; or at least I don't. Overall fit...

    Finalizing my Aero Sheene

    ^seconded. The back on 06911s's Sheene looks gorgeous tho. And why go with a kidney panel if you won't be using the jacket for riding? The Sheene is meant to be a simple, casual jacket; a kidney panel would make it look too 'moto' IMO.

    Wow! Awesome lining! Carrie did a fantastic job on that :)

    Thanks for the comments, guys! I will let you know Cooperson, I'm also interested in how the jacket will look and fit once worn a while.. Looks like I'll also have to break in the lining, not just the jacket! I'm sure the fit will be quite different once the leather has relaxed.
