Aero Board Racer

[Argos123]

my first aero leather jacket. Aero board racer, size 44, brown FQCH
I'm 196 cm tall by 82 kg weight. What do you think?

Gorgeous jacket and great fit. The sleeves are a tad long, but will shorten with wear. Well done!

Looks great Argos! Well done x 2.

You did well, kid.

Very nice! Sleeves are too long for my taste, but it's a great fit!

Very nice BR and good fit as well. Sleeve length is personal, although longer sleeves are very appropriate for bike use. Carlos prefers shorter sleeves. My preference is halfway between the wrist joint and thumb knuckle. PAWINEGUY and Sloan have very nice BR's and can now add yours to the list! Sloan just showed another pic of his tumbled cordovan FQHH BR a day or so ago. Anyhow I am a great admirer of Aero's interpretation of the J-100.

Great looking jacket, Argos. Ace fit.

 

[Insomnia]

Nice jacket and perfect fit! The sleeves will shorten with wear.

 

[ProteinNerd]

Great fit!

Those sleeves haven't even started to cease yet, they will be fine with some wear.

 

[pawineguy]

Very very nice, congratulations!

You nailed it!!

That looks superb & will only improve with wear.

Congrats.

 

[Argos123]

Thanks a lot! But don't you think that the jacket in size 44 is a little too wide or too roomy for me? Should I size down for size 42?

 

[dan_t]

Well, that depends entirely on how YOU like your jacket's to fit.
This one looks to me to be a comfortable fit & will shape to your body with wear. If you prefer a tighter fitting jacket, either size down (I'd be careful though as it may be too tight), or go for another pattern, like the café racer in the same size as this BR.

I think the shoulder seams and length are already perfect, some room around the lower back or on the waist is normal for a men longer jacket especially one without biswing shoulder, if you size down and the hem becomes too tight around the pelvis it could flare out and combined with narrower shoulder seam, it could make a pear shape look.

Perfect fit. Of course a jacket takes several months of hard wear to achieve its optimal fit.

 

[eugenesque]

Now its time to wear the jacket and break it in!

 

[sweetfights]

outstanding jacket- first pic shows how it fits. Very nice!

Argos,

I think it looks great! Do you find its comfortable to wear and move around in, drive, etc? Or do you find it restrictive? There seems to be a "board racer stance" ....not sure if that's a consequence of new jackets and pre-curved arms....

Great jacket and a really good fit. I liked the style when I saw it on the Aero site but now I've seen yours I think I'll start saving up.
