Aero Premier 1930s Half Belt

[Christopher Brown]

Hello everyone! Finally got out to take some pictures of my new premier 30s half belt. I have had it for a week and could not be more happy. I think Carrie did a great job and was very patient with me.

Great work! Congratulations. What are the specs?

Great work! Congratulations. What are the specs?

Its the brown CXL steerhide, olive drab stitching, size 40 with .5 inches to the body and the sleeves. I also added a wind flap for riding the motorcycle and an inside pocket for my Swigg flask ;-)

 

[Bunyip]

Great choice. The colour is beautiful. What lining did you choose?

 

[Christopher Brown]

Also added an extra button to the sleeve like the hercules incase I wanted to tighten the cuffs.

 

[Christopher Brown]

Thanks! I went with the Lochness pattern in light wool.

 

[Bunyip]

That's a really nice set up. Enjoy it, it looks great.

 

[Christopher Brown]

Thanks, I think this may be my one jacket to rule them all.

That looks great!
Congratulations!

Interesting to see that the Half-belt is higher up on yours than most. Dont get me wrong, I think yours looks fantastic on you- sits right where it should. Just that on most jackets it is lower. I think higher is more vintage. Actually on repros they seem to be all over the place.

Looks good -- enjoy.

that's a really nice jacket, congratulations! I recently got a standard 30's half belt, if I were a bit more slender I would definitely had gone for a premier fit! Enjoy it!

Great fit and the idea of the extra sleeve button is genius! Wish I had of thought of it for my premier half belt. I sometimes feel the cuff is a bit wide.

A week old you say?
That's some nice creasing already on the sleeves. It looks great!

You did great on this one, congrats! Stellar fit. Could we see some close up pics?

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I agree, very nice fit..!!

Very nice Premier HB that appears to fit the OP well. My personal experience is that a Premier HWM was too tight for me in the chest and shoulders, particularly the shoulders, but fit me well in the lower torso. Like Harris HTM a standard 1930's HB seems to best fit my frame. And the Sheene / Cafe Racer with 1" added to each side panel (2" to the circumference of the waist) fits me to perfection. All about pattern(s) that work for each of us. And this premier pattern obviously works well for the OP.

Very nice! Great photos too!

 

[Smithy]

The perfect fit. You've hit the jackpot there mate, wear and enjoy, and repeat often

Yep, that jacket looks so right you will never need another. You'll want another, and another after that . . . but you'll never need one!

Very very nice! Really like that color too.
