    FQHH - How much sleeve shortening I expected?

    Close, for sure, but honestly to my eye the sleeves look a tiny bit shorter after a few months wear. I would venture that the conventional wisdom of sleeve length loss holds.

    Schott 508... Aero Bootlegger like jacket

    That's a very good fit. Length in the sleeves and body are perfect too.

    Anybody own a size 46 or 48 Hooch Hauler?

    Yeah, the Moonshiner definitely fits more like the Bootlegger than the Hooch Hauler. Holly advised me that I'm a 46 in the Hooch. Thanks.

    Anybody own a size 46 or 48 Hooch Hauler?

    It occurs to me that Moonshiner is probably cut much more like the Bootlegger than the Hooch Hauler. My Bootlegger is a 42 with extra room in the sides - it fits like a 44 I think. It's got a P2P of 26. The Hooch Hauler is closer to their STF fit. A 46 regular would have a much more fitted...

    Anybody own a size 46 or 48 Hooch Hauler?

    Yeah, I don't think they do really. What I have in mind, is to give them the P2P measurement that I'm after, and then get set up in the size that'll get me there.

    Anybody own a size 46 or 48 Hooch Hauler?

    Thanks, if I can simply spec the P2P, that works out just fine. This will be my 3rd Aero, but actually the first one I've ordered from them directly.

    Anybody own a size 46 or 48 Hooch Hauler?

    What I mostly need is the pit-to-pit measurement. I'm trying to get a feel for which size I'd be. With a button down over a T-shirt, I've got a resting chest of 43.5 (45.5 expanded). I'm in an email conversation with Holly, but I'm trying to come into these exchanges with as much info as I can...

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    Thanks to everyone who participated. According to my highly scientific poll, there's a clear preference among most for the rear, bottom side zips, like ln the Board Racer - 13 to 6. I like them too, at least for a Bootlegger. Like Will Zach said, it looks cleaner.

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    Thanks. I'm not using the jacket for riding, so my considerations about which is preferable are different.

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    Thank you to everyone who's replied so far. If you don't mind, take a sec to make your opinion known in the vote at the top. Thanks.

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    Good, so it turns out gussets are exactly what I thought they were. I for one wouldn't want sleeve zips without them.

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    Just to make sure I understand, which zip sleeve jackets don't have gussets? It's my understanding the zips on my BL have them. There's a piece of leather inside the zip. I guess I don't understand what a gusset is.

    Zip sleeves - which side?

    All you owners of jackets with zip sleeves, which do you prefer: sleeves in the back, like on the Zip Sleeve Highwayman, for instance, or on top of the sleeve, like on the Board Racer? I've created a poll, kindly take a moment if you have an opinion from experience. What I'd really like to...

    What are your sunglasses of choice?

    Ray-Ban Generals. I wore American Optical Pilot sunglasses for over a decade. I liked having aviators that weren't the classic teardrop shape that I'd see everywhere. But they were kind of heavy. These have a similar aesthetic and are comfortable enough that some days I have them on from sun up...

    Goodwear Jackets why the attraction

    I have not owned a Goodwear, yet, but I was in the queue for one. A little story. Upon taking possession of my Aero Bronco in August of 2018, I had the A-2 bug, and I immediately started thinking of the next one. I had become familiar with John's reputation through this forum, so going to him...

    "pulling it off" is exactly how you get out of it. It takes some contortion. Well done.
