    Fit check on Aero Sheene please??

    Well, if you are in Denver, a snug fit will be good from now until May and then from Sept through early December so you can get great use out of it then. I am in Winter Park every weekend and my snug Seven is perfect over a long sleeve tee shirt during the summer up there as well. However, I...

    Fit check on Aero Sheene please??

    Where exactly is it tight?? Sounds like neck, shoulders and chest across the board. If so, I would seriously consider speccing it out in a slightly wider chest and width. Carrie goes for a slightly tighter fit than what we are used to in OTR jackets. This makes the jacket look great, but can be...

    That looks great. I am currently waiting in my Niko to be completed In the Cuio Buffalo. If I did not already have a brown Aero, I might consider that Canneto as well!

    Looking for a Leather jacket

    Aero Sheene sound like it would fit the bill as well. You can add an action back and modify the sleeves, I believe. Talk to Carrie at Thurston.

    Questions on Indy jacket

    Stain does look odd And not something I would accept on a brand new jacket. The crease line is normal.

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    So….. I have the Seven style mentioned by several members above. It can be built to look almost exactly like the Sheen but does not have such a severe taper from the shoulders down to the waist. It is meant for us guys that do not have the walking V physique of gym rats and genetically blessed...

    Aero leathers sheene fit check and advice

    Where does the shoulder seam rest? At the edge of your shoulder or lower? I only ask because it looks a bit wide across the back of the shoulder but seems to look good from the front when zipped. I wonder if the shoulder width could be brought in a touch to clean up the back. I would bring up...

    Now I am going to have to dig that DVD out of the closet and re-watch the movie.

    Custom Aero leather jacket

    Judging by the Sheene, I suspect you are going through Thurston. If so, ask about jerky Horse or battered steer.

    Fit check - Aero Sheene - cxlfqhh brown

    To make sure that OP understands….. The Sheene is based on the Cafe racer pattern which has more room in the upper arms and shoulders with a dramatic taper to the waist. It also has slightly lower armholes. There is a model called the Seven available to us here in the US through Thurston...

    Fit check - Aero Sheene - cxlfqhh brown

    I think it works as well. Should be good for even light layering. However, based on your comments about the fit at the stomach, you may want to consider a Board Racer pattern like the Seven, which does not have as dramatic of a taper to the waist. Doing this might allow you to bring in the...

    That looks fabulous. Cuoio or Cognac?? Also, can you tell us what size so others can see real life fit at your size. I presume XL??? Been waiting on my Cuoio for months but Thedi recently received a leather restock so it should be soon….

    Several beginner questions

    Welcome to the forum. I think your pattern is similar to a vast majority of members here…. We buy a decent lambskin jacket, but start wanting something a bit nicer… Then we fall down into the rabbit hole. First, Peacoat is spot on. You don’t need to worry about the jacket‘s conditioning for...
