Aero "flare"

Aero jackets certainly have it - flare - but what I'm talking about in this case is the way the halfbelt and related styles tend to flare out where the belt and buckle aduster is. It's a look I'm not sure I'm keen on, and yet all the Aero designs I favour seem to have the belt-and-buckle there.

Should I take up meditation and not worry about it, or is there some way around the problem? Could you dispense with the adjuster altogether in a jacket like this (http://tinyurl.com/yzgnesk) or would that ruin the cut? Could I put a Highwayman belt on such a jacket instead? Come one, Aero obsesives, throw your suggestions at me!

Aero eases your pain...

IMHO, in chatting with other "Aerophiles" and having a couple of my own, Aero will generally do just about any customization that you request, unless it completely throws off the entire design of a particular jacket. In this case. they would undoubtedly recommend a different cut or style. In any case. they are big on customer service and will bend over backwards to make you happy.

I think the flaring is caused by the waist being to large and the belts being too high. I have had similar problems and find it very annoying. Ask them to make the waist smaller.
