Aero Fit Jacket arrived

[KingCotton]

Fit jacket arrived today.

I had to let out the side adjustments all the way to be able to zip it up and even then it is tighter then I like across my stomach. I can wear it, but its tight and certainly no room for a sweater or anything over my polo T-shirt.

i think i would like it to be a little longer in length in front and back. At the moment it doesn't quite reach my belt and I would like it to reach my pockets.

Sleeve length seems perfect. Sleeves feel a hair tight on arms when I bend them but not sure if that is just the leather.

Could be a tad bit looser across my back and shoulders.

It zipped up with the buckles out as far as they'd go without being completely undone. So there isn't any more letting out from this point.

It was a bit more work then I like getting my 2nd arm in the hole as well.

The leather is beautiful, Brown CXLFQHH. .... though at first I thought it was cordovan even though the add said brown.

The weight and thickness doesn’t bother me, though I have been advised that Steer fxl might be more comfortable.

I like the tartan liner, though I also like the black watch, still looking on the locharon website.

Sent the pics in to Thurston.

I agree too tight in the lower parts, a bit short and looks like it's fighting you here.

It's gonna be a tough choice between staying at this size and add length, or go up one size. Both has their pros and cons. I find that with these vintage styles, if I choose comfort and size up the look will always become boxy. And if I chose smaller size with add length the look would be better for photos but I will always complain about the comfort and wear them less.

If you do choose going up one size for comfort, it helps to get the jacket in leathers that drape much better than the stiffer ones, it will actually make the larger jacket look less boxy and look more fitted. It's a tough choice, been down this road many times my self.
