    Vanson Chopper, OTR fit

    Here’s another Chopper fit and impressions thread. While I was measuring and posting about my Sheene in another thread, UPS arrived with this hunk of leather. I was going to order from TB but they’re out of stock for 12 or more weeks which puts me right in the middle of riding season. I’m never...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Not familiar with this type of hide. Is it thick and robust? Dyed right through? Suitable for a cross-zip style?

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    Here you go. Never thought about this but I’ve a 16” neck. Might be part of the problem?

    I stretched it out and cajoled and pleaded with him, and finally got 19.5”. That’s as much as I can get.

    I’m tempted but now you’ve confirmed my jacket shoulders are too small for you!! Me thinks you’re onto something. TB measurement of 19.75 was appealing to me but damned if I can stretch the jacket to hit that #. I’ve tried measuring from the front and back and can’t seem to get more than 19.25...

    Those are TB measurements. Mine are 19.25, 24, 26 and 21.5.

    My Sheene measures as follows: Shoulder 19.75, p2p 24, back 26.5, hem 21.5 so it’s not cramped in any way

    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    In my case, its not the look of the creases that are an issue.... I could care less about that. It's the weight of the heavy CXL on my neck. My jacket is still new and most of the wear has been around the house while breaking it in but the couple times I've worn it out and about, by the time I...

    I had planned on making a subsequent Aero purchase, and held off because of this. Having said that however I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else could put this jacket on and not have the issue. It’s odd.

    And yours looks pretty good there Marc, I’d sure be happy if my jacket laid like that.

    I agree it’s a pattern issue but why haven’t Aero corrected that? Is it because it only happens to certain body types, meaning not enough to warrant a redesign? Rhetorical questions I know.

    I wondered about that too but I don’t think I could have gone any tighter with this heavy leather. You can see the pic with the jacket done up. I’m certainly not swimming in it, and I wanted to be able to layer a bit but a shirt and t-shirt is very snug so far. It’s a puzzle, and a bit...

    This issue with Aero shoulder creases has been raised by @Carlos840 and others. Not sure if it’s particularly more acute with the Sheene or not but I sure have it on my recently purchased jacket. I don’t think I have sloping shoulders either but I have the creases and the pressure on the neck...
