Thank you for the extra info!
One thing that caught my eye is the 42 hooch hauler hem being the same as a 40 moonshiner hem, meaning that actually the hooch hauler hem would be tighter at the same size. But I guess the moonshiner is more oversized (50s pattern) so it's better to compare 42 hooch with 40 moonshiner.
My Hooch Hauler was finished perfect in every measurements except for the shoulder width. It was dangerously narrow (16.5" vs ~17.75" that I would like) so I (perhaps foolishly) gently asked for a remake. Aero graciously accepted and now I'm eagerly waiting for it. Respect to Aero customer service!
Yeah the Premier/1930s cut is almost absurdly undersized in the shoulders compared to standard for those sizes. You generally need to go up one size or even two. The numbers don't especially make sense to me.
I'm glad Aero was able to switch it out!
