I aint complaining. It would seem to me that given what's already on offer some trimmer patterns are the order of the day. Exciting times!
Schitz, in your case, you can plan a day trip to Galashiels to try on a stock jacket in the style you want, and then simply add centimeters to body and sleeves to achieve a perfect fit; thus no risk of disappointment when you open the box a few weeks (or months) later.
Incidentally, I found out earlier today that my last order has been made up and is awaiting despatch.. It's a brown Hercules
Yep that's the plan. I got myself in the queue earlier this month and hopefully my turn will roll round again by August. At which point, since I'll be in Edinburgh then, I can pop over to galashiels and make a choice.

Schitz, congratulations and look forward to pictures and impressions of your new Hercules. What body/sleeve measurements did you request?
Aero are rolling out a stack of new designs in April, so that may help you or possibly make your choice even harder.
I think you're right, Edward. I just recall speaking to Will about it, and him telling me that it was a beast of a jacket, far too heavy for UK climate, and that he didn't produce it himself out of respect for his father who fought in WWII. I couldn't quite get my head around how the second part of that sentence worked.
Didn't the Indy appear for a very limited period last year?
