Whem did you order it?Mine shipped! Sunburst in bb vic
Whem did you order it?Mine shipped! Sunburst in bb vic
August 12Whem did you order it?
Perhaps it turned out that there was no suitable material after all? Incorrectly cut and that was the last material? Did the quality prove to be poor during cutting? Whatever the case, they will have their reasons. Apart from impatience and anticipation, nothing to worry about. I know the feelingIt was in the cutting phase last week, now its awaiting materials? Seems backwards.
My sunburst arrived and I’m over the moon! View attachment 653269 View attachment 653272
Bb VicWhat type of leather?
I specified 26" and got 24". I waited all this time and spent all this money. The jacket is gorgeous but they screwed me. It costs a ton to send back and then shipping this back and forth and to the next buyer is terrible for the environment. It's a small drop on the bucket, but still. I guess one should only buy these jackets if you've seen the measurements in QC photos. I asked for them but they said its too late. For the price and the fact that they are being shipped at great expense around the world they should provide them. The product is excellent but I'm really disappointed with this situation.Sleeves do look short,will look even shorter once it's been worn a bit.
If there really is a two inch difference, you will get a remake. I already had this and it worked without any problems.I specified 26" and got 24". I waited all this time and spent all this money.

Its so upsetting. I have to wait another 2+ months? They are telling me to wear it and then will charge me a fee for the remake because they insist it's 25.75" but they don't provide photos. The jacket is truly superb except the sleeves are far off.If there really is a two inch difference, you will get a remake. I already had this and it worked without any problems.
Perhaps replacing the sleeves will be enough.Its so upsetting. I have to wait another 2+ months? They are telling me to wear it and then will charge me a fee for the remake because they insist it's 25.75" but they don't provide photos. The jacket is truly superb except the sleeves are far off.
I will return with a photo confirming how far off it is. As I said, I dont want to wait, spend more money to ship it back across the pond, or hurt this planet any more than is necessary. This has truly soured my experience. Every jacket I buy has 26" sleeves. 25.5" is fine too. This is not that.
What if the jacket I get isn't as good as this one? The hide on this is beautiful. Everything is perfect except the sleeves.
When you specify 26" you should have gotten 26".I specified 26" and got 24"
As usual, you make excellent points and have the photos to prove it.When you specify 26" you should have gotten 26".
But.... 26" would have been way too long imo.
There's a never ending discussion here on TFL about sleeve length, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that it depends on personal preferences.
Personally I think the sleeve length on your Aero is spot on. They're the same length or even slightly longer than the sleeves on my Regius. Nobody here on TFL or elsewhere commented that the sleeves on my Regius look too short and I personally I wouldn't want them to be any longer.

If you'd feel better when the sleeves on you Aero are slightly longer than why not stretch them out a bit, that's relatively easy to do since it's vegetable tanned leather. It's probably not what you prefer to do on a brand new jacket but by stretching them you won't have to send the jacket back to Aero (good point on saving the environment).
But first have a look at these guys, I don't think any of them were worrying about the sleeve length of their jackets.

I think so too. If the length hadn't been mentioned, I wouldn't have noticed it negatively.Also, why focus on a number when the sleeve length feels good. As you said yesterday: "Why do they fit even though they are short of the specified measurement by 2” then?".
As being discussed via email ( where it really should have been brought up prior to this post) we will work this out for you. I can assure you jacket was made to correct spec and that you haven't been "screwed ". We will not leave you with a jacket you are not happy withI specified 26" and got 24".

According to my observations, the rolls form when the sleeve is long enough for something to pile up. If the sleeves fit exactly, then fewer rolls form. I don't know whether this can be generalised, but that would be my observation.As for stretching, my concern is with the rolls it will develop.
I’m a little puzzled because you previously said you were ‘over the moon’ with the jacket. And, although the line appears to have disappeared from your post, you also said you thought the sleeves were just ‘a hair short’I specified 26" and got 24".

New in town. Interesting. Quite the aggressive tone for someone who hasn't been here long.I’m a little puzzled because you previously said you were ‘over the moon’ with the jacket.

I’m not sure what has changed your mind but was it just one other persons opinion that they were too short ?
For what it’s worth I think the sleeves (and jacket) look just fine, however 2 inches is a bit more than ‘a hair’ and based on your photos if the extra 2 inches were applied to the sleeve length they would almost certainly be too long.
