Amazing, awesome Aero Ridley up for sale in "New with tags detached" condition. It has basically sat in my closet ever since I received it, it is a bit too tight for me overall, especially in the shoulders & pit-to-pit area. I have tried it on a few times, and un-laced the Made by Julie Leitch tag from it, but that will come with the jacket. Amazing, heavy weight, CXL Steerhide in Cordovan, with a lot of grain already developing. All brass hardware. 100% cotton drill lined, body in Olive drill. Belt, upper V-yoke, inner & outer kidney panels.

From pet & smoke free home. Strong Horween Steerhide scent. Matching cordovan stitching on this jacket.

Asking $950 or offer. PayPal only, F & F preferred (or add 3%) - prefer to ship US & Canada.

Tag size 46 - fit ls like a slim 44 -
Dimensions:
Pit to pit - 23"
Shoulder - 19"
Sleeve - 26.5" (straight)
Waist - 21.5"
Back - 26"

AF, this is an absolutely stunning jacket. WOW. I can't believe you are cutting this one loose!
Really appreciate this and all the other comments. Just is not fitting me correctly, so time to let it go.

Weight training has affected my upper body area, more than I realized apparently.

^^ For sure. It's the most "snug" fitting Aero I have owned. I realized I ordered it prior to some weight room work and it's now (almost) too small upper body. But selling it I will loose a lot of $$$ and I do love the hide it's made of. So I'll keep braking it in for now.

It's way too snug for my tastes.

I ordered an Indian Ranger from Thurston but didn't realize until well into the process that Thurston by default submits every motorcycle jacket as a Ridley with X jacket's look. I wasn't able to change it after finding out because of the fit jacket thing.

Ok so this is back up for sale. I have tried & tried to make this jacket work. It just does not work for my body type. Part of this is the shoulder areas as discussed prior. Moreover the pattern is simply too slim-cut for me now that I have moved along a ways into the weightlifting area. This is a good thing but it makes decisions like this one difficult to comprehend. Nicest Horween Steerhide I have handled - and almost 8.0 lbs of it too.

Now asking $750 Shipped CONUS - Firm - PayPal. International shipping at actual cost.

I still have the tag it came with in the pocket. It's hardly seen any usage at all. It pains me to sell it, however I need to move along.

I re-measured and here are the dimensions of this jacket -
Tag Size "46"
Pit to Pit - 23.5"
Shoulder - 19"
Sleeve 27"
Torso (Shoulder to hem) - 25.75
Back - 26"
Waist - 21.5"
