Fully agree with Tony & OneTerrificHog - it's "close" but you may not be fully comfortable with it as is.
This is the issue I have with similarly "borderline short" cross-zip styles. Here is my beloved, but ill-fitting (to me) Aero Indian Ranger. Note the circled area in blue. Part of this...
Try taking photos of it zipped up with your shirt tucked in.
Kind of hard to tell based off these photos.
Sleeves look good as does the upper body.
It does appear to cover your belt, which is typically "good"
This sentance, from Mr. Frown is one of the best I have read on FL so far: "The premier you pictured in Vicenza LOOKS just about perfect. It sounds like you have some of the same feelings about its comfort. Its one of those things you've probably seen people talk about: sometimes a jacket that...
A retro - '80's Tourmaster 44 $125 BIN or offer. Nice leather on this one, black/grey and a little thin red trim strip. Neat daily driver jacket!

Looks very nice! Definetly a 50's Half-belt, I like the lining in that one as well.
As Edward indicated, the blue-label is not much to worry about. Leather looks good but could use a good conditioning, I would think this is Horween CX Steerhide which is a wonderful leather.
Ok now I can see the Premier "44" as well. Maybe just some "touches" to the shoulders that Carrie could do so you are bit more comfortable, but this is the one to go for from a fit perspective if it was me. Like that a lot!
What are your thoughts with the Vicenza verses the FQHH Horween...
Oops - sold & shipped out a couple weeks back.
Take a look at both Baker's and Drew's boots "Final Few" I think there were a couple similar pair for sale in those spots.
So, if you like the brown FQHH "40" Highwayman - just tell Carrie I'm all in on this one and send the Vicenza one back, and enjoy the break-in. It looks great to me...
I understand Aero has a shortage of Horween FQHH presently, so you may save yourself a lot of time & headache that way, and by...
^^ That's perfect!
I've never handeled this leather (Badalassi) and it will likely be early next year before I place an order for anything. I'm 53% thinking the "blue" might be the way to go?
That really does look like a Guide-Master by Wolf, JMax, I think you hit the nail on the head.
Check out this thread: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/guide-master-by-wolf-outerwear.97307/
Lining - consider sending it to Dena (https://www.greatleather.com/) she can easily re-line this...
Another San Francisco Bay area CL listing with Vanson CR, and some Alpinestars suits, and assorted other M/C jackets size Large to 46, all look pretty nice:

Tony I think this may be the most natural "non crosszip" jacket I have ever seen on you. It is perfect and that you recieved it as gift is an even bigger testiment to this place and the people on here! It rocks - so do you all Fedora Lounge! :)
I really like what you are indicating here Monitor. Even if I do not fit any of these catagories specifically. I just like leather jackets, boots, belts, etc. I was a motorcyclist between 2007 - 2012 (all pre-FL days) and I had, prior to 2012, owned over 40 different M/C style leather...
Here's another good thread with great information for you:

From Edward: There's also the..... uh... .blanking on the name of it now, but it's the cafe racer model with a shirt collar, that came...
Kicking this thread back active again as there have been questions of late comparing Aero's leather choices.
If someone has Badassi and is willing to share detailed photos of it here, please do so! I may try one of these jackets soon...
