Aero Type 3 Jean jacket

It would be great if anyone could make the Lee 101-j in a slim fit leather version? I have seen some, but none of them seems to be slim fitting!

Had one of the early levi shorthorn suede jacket with the contrasting leather collar once, great jacket. I think they made them in Italy at that time.

Sent you a PM, WB.

I really, really like the leather type 2 jackets. I think that split steer, unlined would be just grand. I was considering one myself recently but ended up going with a Filson x levi tincloth version. A lot cheaper and hopefully will last long time in and of itself. Tan suede with a darker brown leather collar though.... ah, it's tempting!

Trust me.

Get one made up in the black deerskin suede that Aero are clearing out.

Holly said that they've got some of the sand left too.

It's a really, really fantastic hide, and no-one seems interested in it. I'm just trying to figure what I want to get made up from it...

It fits the same as the original Levi Type III pattern, if you've got one or access to one that should help? Alternatively send over your measurements, or let me know you're thinking of one and I can help you out over e-mail.

Are we able to add an inch here and there to make it an easier fit?

Got this jacket a year ago app. The suede is what I love very much, it's thick and soft.
Usually I wear 44 but for this jacket I went for 42 and it even allows layering. Actually it's not slim trim, even a size down gives me pretty much room.
As I understand it's a short type, there are longer versions with two outside pockets, this one doesn't have them. No inside pockets, only two outside breast pockets.
It's not a popular jacket so i decided to share my pics.

Who would like to comment on the fit and look, you are very welcome. Should it be longer? T`o me not, in this case it's a different style and a different jacket. May be shorter? Possibly, I don't know. If anybody could judge, would be great.
I'm 6'2" and 43" in chest but the 42 fits even roomy, today I worn a thick Iron hart hoody under and it was ok. I just left the top stud unbuttoned since it was pretty tight.
I added 2" to the sleeves and just 0,5" to the body.

The fit looks absolutely fine. I wouldn't change anything. I'm surprised you didn't need to size up, as I thought these all came in very neat and tight.

Thanks for your opinion.
As for the size, Holly told me absolutely the same thing. I think one of the reasons is that I'm not actually completely 44, I'm right in the middle and in some styles, like my LHB 44, I feel very roomy and a bit baggy. Since I didn't have the intention to layer under it, just a t-shirt, I took a risk and ordered 42. But only today I wore a thick hoodie under and was suprised it's absolutely fine. Apparently Aero's take on this style is a bit looser or the softness of the suede contributes to that.

I really like that. That jacket has been on my hit list for some time. For me, a lightweight/ mid weight leather would be great. I really liked that yellowish antique steer that they had. I've seen a couple in that and it really scrambles my eggs.

Actually the fit of that jacket looks pretty good to me. Lately you have done well for yourself.
