Looks to be perfect in every possible way. Well done!!!Hi Everyone,
I ended up going back to Kentaurus in Cologne (Köln) as I was too unsure about everything and figured it's worth spending the extra money to ensure I get the right jacket. I ended up choosing the 50's half belt in brown CXL FQHH. The jacket arrived at Kentaurus miraculously quickly (<3 weeks) and I just picked it up today.
This is a standard 38" 50s HB with ~1" extra at the back, which measures 65 cm/25.6". No storm cuffs, 1 inside pocket (LHS), buchanan hunting modern tartan lining (standard Aero stock). The sleeves are 64 cm/25.2". Can't remember if that's standard or not. For reference, I'm 5' 11" and I always wear a 38"-40" suit jacket.
Love it. Love the hide. Couldn't be happier!
Here it is!
Huge thanks to Holly, the machinist Toni Hogarth (hope I've remembered that correctly), everyone else at Aero and Stefan at Kentaurus. I would strongly recommend visiting Kentaurus if you are in the market for an Aero (especially if it's your first) and it's a great shop otherwise, too. Loads of stuff that I think people here would like and it's almost more like a gallery than a shop.
Thanks to everyone here who helped out with my endless questions. This is a really great community.
Big Love
