Need Aero Premier Highwayman customization advice
Thanks guys - I'm thinking I should be OK with a 38, and yes, I plan on taking 1/2" off the sleeves and length. I do like the Sheene a lot, but it has too much of a V shape for my taste - maybe a little too super-hero. I'm going for the starved musician look...- Witchtrip

Yeah, it's a hard call, but the pics are deceiving - i put on 3 shirts (tee shirt, button down, wool board shirt) and there was still room (I didn't take pics of that state). Here's another shot with all the wrinkles in the back showing - I had wings almost). I 100% agree, the shoulders are...- Witchtrip

Need Aero Premier Highwayman customization advice
Hey guys, as promised I'm posting some pics of the size 40 Premier HWM that showed up on Friday. It's a gorgeous jacket with several of the details I wanted to see in person (Vincenza, zipped sleeves, olive stitching, light tartan, cotton drill in sleeves). Carrie said the Premier fit runs a...- Witchtrip

First Aero Jacket - Help!
Hey there, I'm going through the exact same process - my fit jacket is due to arrive today. I started a thread and got tons of great info about options from everyone. I'm also in the same boat: 5' 11" 145-50 and this is my "fat" 40s - I've been a rail my whole life. FWIW, I ordered a premier...- Witchtrip

Thanks PN, very good to know. I wasn't sure how snug it should be unbroken in. I'll try it on with the heaviest wool shirt I plan on wearing underneath.- Witchtrip

And I will know in a few short hours if they were successful (for my frame) in the overhaul. I really hope so - I do like the stylings of the HWM. Tbc...- Witchtrip

you guys are killing me with options! Now I'll never be satisfied with just one jacket... But since I must be, I'm definitely going with med tartan. @TB, I was briefly considering heavy, as I prefer to be too warm than cold - I can always layer up and I don't think med weight will be too heavy...- Witchtrip

Fingers crossed the HWM fits! I love the look of it as well, but I will definitely keep the Sheene (if it's still made) and 30s HB as my backup options. As many of you have broken in new jackets, how much have they stretched? I'm pretty much sold on the vincenza, chromex FQHH is my second...- Witchtrip

@MRB - thanks! NJ is a sanity saver. We love it so far. Yeah, these chilly summers really ruin any prolonged beach fun, but bring that much needed pyro protection. I've seen the Sheen and really like it - but I also really like many of the styles. I really hope the HWM works because I don't...- Witchtrip

That's what I've been thinking looking at the different pics. The fit jacket comes tomorrow and I was going to hold off asking Carrie until I actually try it on. This is the part I hope goes smoothly. She's been a great help so far. I trust they will make sure I get a good fit.- Witchtrip

Wow - thank you all for all the excellent advice here. It has been a huge help! I've actually emerged from the granular madness of the tiny details and everything you all have posted has helped a great deal in the final touches. I'm pretty damn skinny (5' 11" 145 - 150lbs) been this way my...- Witchtrip

Hi MRB, yeah these prolonged northern springs (I'm from down south) make for some chilly morning rides. Thanks for the input - it's ridiculous, I'm already starting to rationalize a second full blown winter jacket... Thankfully we just moved (from Brooklyn) and bought a fixer upper, so my funds...- Witchtrip

Need Aero Premier Highwayman customization advice
Fantastic, logging on to great input this morning - thanks everyone! Yeah, I'm totally shooting in the dark here, being my first Aero. I chose the premier as I'm pretty lean and will need a slim fit and liked the stylings of the HWM. I very well may switch to a 30s Halfbelt if the HWM is too...- Witchtrip

Thanks jacketjunkie - excellent advice. This will be my first "real" leather jacket and I'm into timeless utility and prefer to break my own clothes in. I've mostly ruled out olive stitching already, just thinking dark brown (if it's dark enough) would be a nice subtle touch. Very good to know...- Witchtrip

Hello, This is my first post on TFL. I'm anxiously awaiting a fit jacket from Thurston Bros for my first custom Aero Premier Highwayman. I've been scouring the threads absorbing as much info as possible on the available options. I've pretty much got it sorted, but there are a couple of final...- Witchtrip
