@Feliksas — Stellar jacket!
It could not be better. This is amazing.Nice weather today, so went out with the old lady to take some fit-pics. I'll send all the photos to Aero, the lot of them, many here unseen, so they can use them as they see fit.
Again, for those interested:
I'm 183cm, 75kg, 82-84cm waist, +-100cm chest.
Hat is a wool Tilley hat; trousers are BW "Moleskin" army surplus; boots are custom William Lennons. If you have any questions or comments, please ask!

Excellent fit..but can't believe you are leaning up against rough bark on a tree..then an abrasive stone wall. I don't baby my leather jackets but no way would I chance a scuff for a pose.
Very nice jacket indeed. Looks a little longer than the likes of a Perfecto, but the proportions aren't 'off' in any way. Great fit.
Could be a tad shorter, but I like to go with the baseline build first, a straight 38, and then I can modify for future builds--and if the regular build works, even better. Had it really been off, I would have tried to sell it here and had another one built.
Finally--I wear my trousers high, as trousers were supposed to be worn; I reckon if I wore them at the hips instead, as many do, the jacket would look properly short (which it is, I think).

I always wanted one of these. Just couldn’t get past the fixed belt. One of Schott all time best though. No doubt about it.Not to steal any thunder, but I thought you might like to see how the natural CXL ages, by way of looking at my Schott x Context CX113, made from natural CXLFQHH.
Photo taken minutes ago. It's darkened up a lot since new, as you can see.
