    Aero Sizing - large chest to waist ratio - Premier 1930s Highwayman

    I was searching for something else and came across this thread. I've had similar issues to what is being discussed here. Older now so not as bad but still have a 47inch chest 38 waste. The jackets I've found that work the best for me are a 1930's half belt or a sheene. I was told the basic...

    An Eastman 44L and a Goodwear 44

    I'm having a hard time relating the zipper length to the length of the jacket. Would you please measure the back length of the goodwear jacket as per this figure? Thanks..

    Anybody have experience with Y’2 leathers?

    I've learned the hard way to insist on jacket measurements - really saves $$ in the long run - and there is no such a thing as a size standard WRT leather jackets. I don't know where you plan to buy the jacket that you are looking at - but you might ask the guys at "Theshop" if they can bring...

    Anybody have experience with Y’2 leathers?

    My suggestion is to contact Theshop-Vancouver and they can get you the specs on that jacket - then get the smallest size you can fit in. I recently bought an indigo type iii (Y’2) jacket from them - size 44 - and I love it. I needed a tapered - shorter jacket - which is what I got.

    The short length of Aero-leather CR

    The issue being discussed here is something I am very familiar with. 12 or so years ago I lost a disk and a little bit off 2 vertebrae and wound up dropping from 6' to 5'10, still with a 46 inch chest. I find that jackets with a 24inch back length work about right for what I like (some here...

    Status of Thedi Leathers?

    I sent an email to Thedi Leathers late Aug/early Sept time frame and did not hear anything for weeks. Then around 1 Oct I received a reply from Theodoros saying that he was under Dr's orders to rest for a month - which I understood meant to stay away from his business. He gave me a quote and...

    Goodwear Surrogates sz. 44 brown jacket

    I can live with that (I don't ride - 2 wheels anyway) - the specs on this and my bod line up :) and this is a real good way not to have to wait 18 months. What is the bottom hem (sweep I think it is called) dimension? I'm new here - what's the process re how I pay for this?

    Goodwear Surrogates sz. 44 brown jacket

    Hi - is this jacket still available? I'm interested - but have a couple of questions: John of Goodwear's memory was that this jacket is somewhat heavier weight - what is your thought on that? (I'm looking for something around mid weight). Does this jacket drop down in front (eg is the front...
