    Aero Hooch Hauler Size Advice

    I had a similar dilemma when ordering Vincent (similar to HH). My relaxed chest is 38-38.5 and jackets with p-p 20.5 fit the best. Thing with skinny folks is that a tad larger fit looks "big". There just isn't a lot of body frame. Any who, I did get the 38 in Vincent with tumbled cordovan. Gr8 fit.

    -15% at Aero, but only this week.

    Daym, potent price increase! understandable. they are still relatively cheaper by a few hundred pounds from what I am seeing. I am glad I did my mega splurge. I had a feeling something was up lol. My Vincent jacket turned out excellent and was eyeing J100 / Premier 1930s. J100 - Black...

    alrighty, show time! I ordered 38 in the tumbled cordovan. A proper 20.5 pit to pit and it fits well me thinks. Comfortable right off the hop. Not getting the cardboard feel but just a hair stiff which I am sure will feel better once broken in. Cordo def is a great versatile color. Very happy.

    Advice on custom Aero (Ridley)

    Yea, I am glad I asked for the shoulder measurements ... a 38 is 17.5 shoulders ... my good jacket is 18 in the shoulders and it's not FQHH. That will make me look like wearing a kid's jacket with the seam sitting in on the inner shoulder vs. more centered or sitting outer. Not to mention a...

    Advice on custom Aero (Ridley)

    Thanks @Aloysius ... I appreciate it. I think I'll do the tumbled 38. I am reading over seems like this fqhh is super stiff stuff. Kind of like breaking in a 25oz denim ... I was also considering the badalassi russet in that but don't like the upcharge on that ... hmm

    Advice on custom Aero (Ridley)

    @Aloysius ... what hide do you have there? The rec's I've received from Aero: size up to 40 if want to keep the Cordovan FQHH. It will be comfortable. if want to keep 38 .. then go with a tumbled FQHH.

    right on. yea I am thinking the same ... the 40" size is 22 pit to pit ... for a 38" chest that's a 44" jacket, a 6" give .. a lot!

    OP, what did you end up going with? I have the exact same problem .. :) 38 chest and going with vincent cordovan fqhh ... deciding b/w 38 & 40 ...
