I knew vanson was good for tapers, is langlitz too?My first reaction to the OP question is: why Aero of all makers. The stiff hide, the high shoulder cap/low arm
Hole, is not exactly friendly to muscular physiques. Vanson/Langlitz are much much more ergonomic. Aero is like that by no fault, it’s what they are meant to be.

Does stiffer hide tend to be pain for the kind of fits discussed in here?
I’d respectfully disagree. To me most langlitz jackets look cut for out of shape, barrel bellied men. The sleeves are often cartoonish and saggy (you’d need 30” arms to fill them). The torso is rounded and creates instant Ronnie Coleman gut. It’s not a flattering look to an athletic physique by any means. I have seen some very nice fitting langlitz but I consider them the exception, not the rule. I would want to provide them with a myriad of very specific measurements to get the fit right.I would say even the off the rack Langlitz, any model, is the ideal choice for bodybuilders & for power lifters, who tend to be bulkier (as a good thing) the Langlitz can even be too tight around the waist. As far as bodybuilder/powerlifters are concerned (I’m a bodybuilder but not power lifter), the chest/lat/deltoids is the main pain. The mass monsters can’t even tie shoelaces with no clothes on.... Langlitz is perfect on the bicep & deltoid department, they construct the arms in a special way (not special if you know tailoring techniques) that can accommodate most any arm size. Bates also does it. Vanson however, I’d stay away for big guys because the lining material is not very strong & can rip simply due to the sheer stiffness of the leather shell & your bulky muscle. PM me if you want the story. Langlitz has a tough nylon lining option. Aero’s CHP & Route 66, Indian Ranger, should all be good for mobility & non-boxy look, but, they all lack the “bodybuilder” slope on the shoulder due to choice. Langlitz again, can make the shoulder slope the way you want it, really amazing. I always say that the reason Arnold looked that way in T1 & T2 is largely owing to the Bates jackets shoulder profile. Had he wear a Schott (even with the epaulettes delete), he won’t look that way. Although he would look equally good in a Langlitz & maybe a Vanson.

That’s true. I can’t see magnus ver magnussan in an aero seven. LOL.If you find the belly to be ballooned, I can’t see how a “flatter gut” can actually zip up for a power lifter?
