    IMO no such thing as "correct" chest measurement. Correct for what? Layering? Wearing with a T-shirt? It depends on the pattern. To me a "correct" chest measurement can be anywhere from 22 to 24.5" depending on the maker and the model.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Agreed, as a head Designer Ton should get HH! But then they might know that if they give HH to him on a civilian jacket everyone on here will ask for the same thing, and they might not want HH to become their most demanded hide...

    Shoulder width is IMO the least important measurement when talking about leather jackets, i own jackets ranging from 18.5" to 21" and they all fit great. For me the most important measurement is pit to pit and bottom hem sweep.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Can you actually feel the extra warmth of the fleece vest when worn above a leather jacket? Or does it just look cool?

    ELMC Eastman Leather Clothing * Californian Horsehide Jacket * Havana Brown 46 R * Excellent

    ELMC Long sizes should have a handwritten L on the size tag located in the left pocket. Mine was one of the first made back in 2015 when that model came out and it already had that tag:

    For sale NWT Toys McCoys B3 size 42

    When you say 26" arms, are you going straight down or along the outer curve? Are you including the wrist floof in the measurement? Or stopping at the edge of the skin?

    I think that what @Monitor is trying to say is that when starting in this hobby it is too easy to fixate on the numbers and to convince one self that "this jacket won't work, the measurements are wrong". It's not that simple, some jackets can have the "right" measurements and fit wrong, some...

    My first Aero CXFQHH - fit and a few questions

    Luckily that's an easy seam to fix... They should be able to detach the lining at the wrist, flip the sleeve inside out and restitch it easily from the inside. If it was a shoulder seam or the top stitched seam the intervention would be a lot more invasive and you would have a lot more chance of...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I don't think VAT ws removed, the just chose not to mention it on their invoice.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    VAT is similar to sales tax in the US. Basically when selling to the US aero should remove 20% of the website prices. If you have paid website prices you were charged VAT without your knowledge. Whether the US customs stop the parcel and taxes you on it is an unrelated matter.

    My first Aero CXFQHH - fit and a few questions

    That's a really nice jacket, great fit too. The only way the jacket will get roomier is if you loose weight/become smaller... The leather will relax a bit here and there, the elbows will stretch a bit, the pits will loosen, but the jacket will not become "roomier". If you can't fit a jumper...
