    You’re semi-local to me so I can also flag you if I see something nearby.

    I ordered a tailored Aeroleather, and I am not happy with the fitting.

    You make a good point, and I should make something clear in case it was ambiguous. When I'm talking about the length seemingly being too long, it's specifically in the context of the taper seeming to be too much for the length. OP, does the jacket feel overly tight around the hem? It's hard to...

    Sent that quickly because I thought it urgent. I'd say stick around here a little while, and in no time we'll be able to find you an all-rounder jacket like that (in a size that fits) whether from a member sale or a deal that's posted.

    Please don't buy this jacket! This is a Schott Japan 36, which is smaller than a size 32.

    I ordered a tailored Aeroleather, and I am not happy with the fitting.

    You have the back length of someone 6'4 for this jacket. Due to its tapered cut, the Premier Highwayman really does not allow for lengthening it, because then it will just get stuck. The regular Highwayman can handle this better. Though given the length you want you would have been much better...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    The thing about the "neck lines" thing is that I've gotten them on a lot of clothes, of all kinds… (Incidentally, not my Aero jackets lol.)

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    One thing I’ve realized is that while on this server we usually highlight the size of these repro Talons (5) as the issue, I’ve noticed that my jacket with a deadstock 50s #5 Talon has no such issue. I think something is just faulty about the repro’s design. Aero should make the YKK Universal...

    Is yours separating in wear?

    Field Leathers

    Your choice. Given the really weak pound right now, it might not be a bad idea for someone earning in dollars to pay in full now. (I had the opposite experience; paid the deposit during a strong pound, but by the time I paid the remainder it had dropped to its current lows.)

    Cal Leathers and Al’s Leathers: are they “related”?

    That is the endgame lining.

    Field Leathers

    I'm really glad Greg has moved away from the super tight top-stitches; while they obviously require a lot of skill to do, the end result just plain doesn't look as good as a nice substantial seam, which also works to basically add additional lines and detail to the jacket while being much stronger.

    Fit Check: Iron Heart A-2 Deck Jacket

    Hello neighbor! I'd go with HPA's recommendation; it's always been spot on for me. Plus their stuff has always reached DC within 24 hours for me, without fail, so you'll have your BR in no time.

    Schott 689HH Fit Check.

    The 613SH in 44 would be a good option for you if you want something slightly longer than the 618HH but with the same great leather you have on this jacket. (In 44 it ought to fit similarly to your 689.) That said, I wouldn't recommend it because your 689 really covers all bases. Forget the...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    Him and sometimes Mr Proper. They were born to model leather jackets. Incidentally, it was the anti-Aero sentiment in this thread that led me to get multiple Aeros out of contrarianism, with happy results, so it's funny to see it back. :D

    Nailed it, delete your account here and go live in the jacket.

    Field Leathers

    Incidentally, New York’s (largely Dutch) aristocratic families are sometimes called “New Amsterdam families”. Basically half the locations in downstate New York have Dutch place names (sometimes Anglicized). He should take this opportunity to rename the Manhattan the Detroit though. :D

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That’s the beauty of it! Don’t need sleeves for a bulletproof vest. Whoever bought yours needs to hang it from the target holder at the range and give it a test.

    I added something to my post about how it might be worth it in the end!
