I tried opening up the other photos of the Roadster jacket on the AL site but no dice. Maybe it's my wonderful I-phone?
Just curious about the back of the Roadster. The long wait for a new HWM from Aero is quite daunting!
The AL site needs more details about their jacket offerings. A photo of the back and side of the jackets for starters. Hide and interior options. Etc etc etc....
I usually wear a size 46 long suit and jacket fits me spot on. I sometimes wear a size 48 leather jacket, depending on the maker. Leather jacket sizing can be tough when manufacturers are all over the place fit-wise (I wear a 42 long Gibson&Barnes, a 44 long Avirex/cockpit, a 46 long Aero and a...
Here are some measurements:

Hello Boyo,
I will take some pics and get the measurements for you.
The Hartmann does run very trim, the chest size is still accurate to the marked garment size. It's just that the fit is trim, not oversized.
Buying a new house so am forced to thin out the jacket collection:
Up for sale is an ELC Hartmann style flight jacket made of their new black capeskin leather in a rare size 46 extra long (1.5 inches added to sleeve and body). Worn only afew times, in excellent condition. New this jacket...
Just a heads up fellas: 22 hours left on the G&B mk 31russet goat A-2 for sale on the 'Bay. $25 more and the $249 reserve price will be reached (in case anyone is interested).
Thanks guys.
I have an ELC Hartmann jacket in 46 long. Beautiful workmanship and a buttery soft luxurious black leather. Interior is a wool tweed plaid. Very trim fit (only room for a lightweight dress shirt or t-shirt beneath).
Not sure but I think the Luftwaffe ELC has a roomier fit then the Hartmann.
Sorry Red Leader I will have to pass. I double checked those measurements for the jacket and the jacket probably won't fit properly (I am tall with long arms, sleeves will come up a bit short, I'm afraid).
Good luck! It's a great jacket at a nice price. I'm sure it will sell!
The original photo came from navypilotoverseas@worldpress and in the photo just before it, there is a Navy Ensign (aviator) in a G-1 posing by the wing of his torpedo plane. The caption was just assigned to the wrong photo on their website, that's all.
I just received my Wolverine plainsman boots, Size 11 wide. Perfect fit and look amazing. Already breaking in comfortably after only a couple of times worn. Thick, rugged leather, heavy-duty shoelace eyelets and speed hooks, vibram soles, an all-around great boot!
Jan, the tucked-in look with necktie looks good on you. May not be your usual personal style but it does look "right" for you, especially wearing a waist length jacket. Just my 2 cents.
Hello gentlemen,
