    Aero Premier Highwayman midnight blue CXL

    I can definitely tell in the pics here vs. before that's it's loosening up as it breaks in. In a good way!

    Cordovan Chromexcel Steerhide Bootlegger - fit opinions and random thoughts wanted

    I do appreciate it guys, but I don't agree. I think the extra inch and a half around isn't doing me any favors for what I want out of the jacket. Besides, I think it's a little long.

    For sale: Cordovan CXL Steerhide Bootlegger, size 42 (fits like 44)- Ended

    I'm 6'4, 220 lbs. Chest is 43 or 44, but the jacket is still quite roomy on me. Suit size, I really don't know, sorry. Shirt size I can check when I get home. I can tell you the last suit I bought in 2004, I went to a big and tall store. If that helps? I'll try to get you better info. Thanks for...

    I just decided what I wanted out of a Bootlegger was a more fitted look, rather than it being a cold weather layering jacket.

    For sale: Cordovan CXL Steerhide Bootlegger, size 42 (fits like 44)- Ended

    This Bootlegger is about 6 weeks old. I've been wearing it, and the CXL Steer shows marks easily (which is what's awesome about it) but this jacket definitely still has breaking in to do. I'm letting go of it because I want something a bit more trim on me. It's a 42 with .75 inch added to each...

    What hide are these jackets? They look great.

    It absolutely is. My better half was going to take shots for me, but it's been such a busy time, I decided to just see what I could do on my own. Thanks.

    So I think I've got 4 options. A) Keep it and live happily ever after. Those of you who suggested this, I thank you. Or after selling it- B) Stay with a 42, but most definitely don't add width to the side panels. Also shorten the body a tad. I think I'd prefer it shorter. C) Size down to...

    Hell yeah! I'll definitely be coming back to this thread with more thoughts on the fit of this 'Legger. Right now getting ready for the babysitter to come over. We're going to see Star Wars at the Davis.

    Sure did, last summer. That's our old place at Western and Leland. Thanks! Edit: It wasn't last summer, it was August of 2018.

    Yep, 42. Extra .75 inch on each side, extra length in the sleeves and body. When I get home I can post specifics for those. The sleeves are perfect.

    As for the length, it comes down almost to my hips. I think I could maybe go down as much as an inch. But I don't know how much the extra inch and a half is affecting that.

    Interesting. I had been thinking the shoulders were good at least; the seams are about where I thought they should be. Maybe sizing down is the obvious starting point to the solution. I did the fit jacket with Thurston, and the 42 Highwayman looked good in the shoulders I thought. I should be...

    Ton was a big inspiration in getting a Bootlegger in the first place.
