Aero 30's Half Belt Black THICK steer size 42

[sweetfights]

I tried it on outside for a few photo's.
Then I wore it inside only. Twice. In my air conditioned home for about 15 minutes.
I rolled it up in a towel and massaged it for about 30 minutes in an attempt to soften the thick stiff hide.
Everyone who said steer breaks in quickly was right.
Fits me perfectly. My chest is 44 inches, 32 inch waist. I have long arms.
$900 shipped any where in the USA or Canada.

Selling to fund my second Langlitz- this time a Sidewinder with a dress collar in dark brown with contrast "camel hair" stitching.

I like its dark olive lining, it couldn't be better! Looks very nice!

Thanks The olive lining is a great contrast

Photo's BEFORE I massaged the jacket by rolling in a fresh dry towel.

You like Langlitz better than Aero? I do too based on biker-built customness but just wondering what your line of thought is.

Great looking jacket. Good thing it's not a 40 GLWS!

My half belt fits great, but after trying on my custom Langlitz there is no comparison. The Langlitz is of course built for my dimensions and Langlitz sure delivers! Once you wear a custom tailored, off the rack with length adjustments seems lacking.
I realized this after wearing the Langlitz then immediately trying on the half belt again.
Otherwise we tend to do the same thing; keep trying jackets until we get the acceptable fit and style.

Awesome jacket! My 44 '30's HB is nearly identical other than the black cotton drill lining. Steerhide and it works so very well in this style. I have bought from Sweetfights (LW Easy Ryder) and he was fantastic to work with! You won't regret it!
