    Aero custom order help: First buy, CR

    How about your actual waist measurement compared to that black cafe racer? Looks like @TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead wants that same fit too. Cafe racers look cooler that way when it's just a little tight/uncomfortable. Better take pictures before a good meal hehe Agree on the measurements, it's just...

    Aero custom order help: First buy, CR

    Shoulders are 0.5" off, it needs that extra length on both side so it is more relaxed and drapes better. The look is perfect but it's more about the feel for me here, if it's just about the shoulder fit. No man I'm happy to share and hope it will help you decide better. The back isn't baggy at...

    Okaaaay copper lining? Very interesting! Didn't know he has that now? Super cool indeed. My measurement was based off of a type 3 denim jacket that fit the best. I don't know how it is but I know if the measurement across the waist is any smaller then that will be too uncomfortable for me...

    Good luck with your project with him. What color did you go with? Can't wait to see what you get from him. Didn't mean to confuse you. I meant to say that if I were to add that measurement (0.5-1") to the actual jacket I already have then that would be more versatile for layering as I can only...

    Aero custom order help: First buy, CR

    Hard for little buggers like me too. It's really hard to get something off the rack. I'm like a 36-38 shoulder/chest, 36/34 waist/hip with desired short length and sleeves is a nightmare to find. Even have a hard time with Japanese makers as the jackets they make are either too tight in the...

    That's plenty trim already, it will probably be too tight if you go any slimmer. The leather won't stretch out as much as cxl. Mine fits great aside from the shoulders being tight

    It will be trim shirt only jacket if you go this route, I'd go +0.5" or 1" to layer with a light sweater for it to be more functional

    Definitely my most flattering jacket. Oh man is it tight on the shoulders though, wished it had another 0.5" for better mobility and comfort lol it's breaking in though so it's getting better Around $75 import duty paid through DHL according to one of our members here

    Hercules Sport Jacket in russet steer hide - a review

    They've been greatly affected by the pandemic, they ceased taking orders earlier in the year as their factory is/was in Southeast Asia closed down due to local restrictions most likely.

    Hope they open up again next year. Thinking they could have been 5* before TFL members fell in love with them.

    Hercules Sport Jacket in russet steer hide - a review

    Wow, that pull up effect on that russet cow is nice. How is it holding out? Too bad they closed due to covid, really wanted the grizzly pattern from them

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    @JustinW The zippers on the outer sleeve? That look is steadily growing on me, I always felt it's a little bit out there. I requested the zippers on my cafe racer on the inner sleeves to be subtle but FL recent jackets is changing my mind on that. Thanks for clarifying the cxl8 term, now I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I should have it by February, it will be pretty classic HWM order just a single point yoke and zippered sleeves. What sleeves will you get w/ your FL cross zip? Is the cxl8 different from cordovan?
