Very nice sir! Like the blanket lining as well. Welcome to FL - hope you enjoy this forum. :)
Would you have any way to obtain sleeve length, back lenth and Pit to Pit measurments? That really helps on here.
Mr Rivets, as both Tony and I indicated in the other thread, contact Carrie at Thurston Brothers. She is a master at nailing the fit on jackets. Give it a try, it's not a lot more $$$ than direct through Aero.

Stock Man - great post, screen name, and choices you made! Fits you to a Tee, and you have good Fedora Lounge company not too far away down there in Australlia. Welcome to FL - even though you have been here a long time in fact. Hope you enjoy this new Highwayman, you really nailed the fit...
