    Aero Sheene fan thread!

    Anytime...by the way I have a double ring belt on its way. Found a guy in the states that makes them old school style. Ordered mine with bridal leather, in natural. I'll let you know how it turns out when it arrives (I asked you about yours a few weeks ago).

    Good question about measurements. I did post Thurston's measures but measured the jacket upon arrival too. The only difference was the shoulder. Thurston was 19.75 and I came up with 19.5. I do know when Thurston measure they spread the jacket as much as they can, so that could account for the...

    Thanks for this. Very helpful. Previous jackets I’ve put them on and gone on a road trip in the truck, or a multi-day bike ride. Can’t do that right now so I’ll use your advice. This leather is stiff, and waxy, and thick, and smells like a horse is in the house!

    I am keeping it, for those reasons. Thanks

    Carrie just emailed me to say this particular batch of FQHH is 1.5-1.6mm, heavier than average according to the head cutter at Aero. It’s going to take some work to break in.

    Lets see those Motorcycle Jackets!

    Had this made for me, 2007 I think. I wish now I hadn’t chosen a Nero type collar, but it’s a very well fitting and comfortable jacket on the bike. Leather could be more robust... I think this is only 1.2 or 1.3mm cow. I just had the guy that made it take it in as I’ve lost lots of weight since...

    I like my sleeve length to land between wrist and thumb knuckle. I’m close enough now. I know the sleeve length over the thumb knuckle is common with some folks but to me, that makes the jacket look too big, even if it isn’t. I won’t be riding with this jacket, and as the leather softens and...

    I beat on the shoulders to get them to settle down a bit, and the sleeves dropped too. I’m happy with this length.

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    In Levi’s or others pants I’m typically a 34. With Bravestar I go 33. When they arrive they are stiff as hell, and the buttons are damn near impossible to do up, however with time loosen up, and the waist stretches and gives. The 33 ends up fitting me perfectly. I get the 21.5 in true straight...

    Thanks for this. I wore it around the house tonight and I’m thinking the same. Yeah I wouldn’t mind another 1/2” but as you say, I could order 1” longer and end up with the same length. Carrie as much as said the same. If I went custom I’d play around with the design a bit too as has been...

    I’m in the Vancouver area. Temp is fairly moderate here. Not cold, not hot, often wet!

    Carrie got back to me and says the fit is spot on, including the sleeves. She confirms many like them longer, but she prefers them “neat”. I’m going to wear it around the house tomorrow but I’m now leaning towards keeping it. It’s not much out, and if they do stretch out a bit (rather than...

    If I go custom, for sure, and with two upper pockets. Assume you mean the HWM bottom edge?

    My Sheene fit jacket arrived today, CXL Natural, size 42 P2P 24 Shoulders 19.75 Sleeves 26.5 Waist 21.5 Back 26.5 I’m thinking to keep this but I have a little reservation about sleeve length. I’ve got long arms and I could do with another 1/2-3/4” I think. Enough to wait for a custom? Hmmm The...

    Thanks Marc, been looking for the last couple days for a Vanson C2 in 42 or 44. Same thing, lots in Japan in my grandson's size. What make is this?

    WTB Vanson C2 Size 46 in Steerhide with brass hardware

    I’m 5’10”, 180, 42” chest, 34” jeans, 19.5” shoulder. That 44 would fit me just right. Keep me in mind if you find a 46.

    First Post, Big thanks and a new Highwayman

    Just so happens I have a Sheene fit jacket in natural CXL arriving tomorrow from TB. If the jacket isn't quite right, I'll go custom. Thanks for this!
