Aero B-6 vs D-1

[Jeff M]

Can folks help me out with the differences between these two designs?

As I understand it, same sheering thickness....sheep skin, horsehide trim on both.

B-6 has side zips, adjustable stud cuffs, epaulettes, bi-swing back, main back panel 3 pieces.
D-1 back panel 4 quarters.

Pictures an Aero's web site seem to show the D-1 as having a less "boxy" design, a bit shorter waist length.
That just how the photos were taken?
Thoughts?

Hello Jeff, I just received a redskin D-1, you can see it here:

I also wanted a B-6 because I thought it was a more complex design, but there was a waiting list of 14 weeks and they had this jacket in stock, I wanted to use it during this winter, and I went for it.

I can confirm that it's a slender design, the jacket is as snug as a Aero biker's jacket, not bulky at all, perfect length for me and as you can see, a two panels' back.

If requested I can post some pics of me wearing this jacket tonight.

Thanks.
Photos of you wearing the jacket would be great.

The B-6 is slightly waisted and has a very trim fit. Search for Gancho's B-6 on the lounge.

I agree that Aero's D-1 is not very boxy and roomy but compared to their B-6 it is. The B-6 almost fits like a slighltly roomier and thicker sheepskin Cafe Racer.

Here there are the promised pics, I apologise for the poor quality, the light wasn't good at all. I'm 179 cm, I usually wear 36-37" jackets, I have a 36 hyghwayman and this jacket is more snug
