I posted some images of my new Aero Type III in natural Vicenza a few days ago. I was stoked about the new jacket but overlooked the seemingly large pocket flaps. To my surprise (and disappointment) both flaps on the new jacket are 1/2" longer than the Navy T-3 making the new jacket look a bit awkward in comparison. I even measured the jacket flaps on my Levi's Denim jacket and they match the Navy Aero exactly in length.
Overall the jacket materials and construction are as expected and the fit is good although the sleeves are a bit long and the shoulders are slightly wider. I've been wearing the jacket periodically (inside) since getting it so it's beginning to mold to my body.
Not sure if I'm tilting windmills with this pocket issue since I didn't request longer pocket flaps and the measurements provided and the resulting jacket are within specs based on variance allowances according to Aero.
I'm attaching an image of the two jackets side-by-side for visual reference. Maybe some of the fine folks on the Fedora Lounge could chime in regarding this 1st world issue and provide some input regarding action - if any. I really do like the jacket, and since it's showing wear/break-in I don't think bringing this to Aero's attention would amount to anything.
Anyway, thanks for listening.
