If you want V shaped slim fit get the same spec as @MrProper, the Ridley. For an extra £25 Badalassi is clearly the right choice, if you don't mind steerhide. If you want rustic look leather then CXL. Vicenza takes a very long time and a lot of wear to look good. It will eventually but takes a while. All three leathers are great but Badalassi is instant gratification, then CXL, then Vicenza, in that time order.
The regular J106/Daytona might have a bigger chest to hem drop but it also has very low arm holes and chubby sleeves. So it only looks V shape when you are riding or have your arms forward. Most of the time it just looks like a balloon. I like it for the comfort but I get why the slim fit Ridleys are more popular. Ridley's higher arm holes will actually give you a better shape even with less aggressive drop.

Thanks for the info. I am definitely looking for a slim fitting silhouette, though with with enough room to put on a little mass as I am working out. I am sure Aero can accommodate me when I explain to them, although I will likely wait until Summer to order when I have stabilized in chest expansion.
I think there is definitely a reddish hue to the Tobacco https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/fs-aero-30s-half-belt-tobacco-badalassi-size-46.106837/And I am guessing Badalassi Tobacco is just like seal? Not sure. Photos looks that way. I have the russet. And it is just that, russet. Maybe that's the photos you've seen, there is some red to the russet yes. But I don't think there is for the tobacco. Best to get a sample before placing order.
Vicenza Dark Seal is really a dark chocolate brown in comparison. https://www.thurston-bros.com/products/aero-seven-size-44-dark-seal-vicenza-horsehide
I don't mind a longer break-in when the style and end results are worth it.
