Glad I measured my waist and got you the better size J-66! The Perfecto looks incredible on you...it's very cool that Schott has resurrected this late 1930s pattern!!! I don't know what other patterns they have laying around in that factory, but I'm definitely going to be asking...!!!

Do you have anyting cut for an overweight middle aged man with a pot belly? I sure don't need a slim fit cafe racer.

D**n, Jag, that's sweet! A perfect fit. What a knockout jacket. Well done.

SPEW!

That was too funny... And yes they do, they're called "car coats".

Thanks all. This is a slim cut style, and if I had eaten a big breakfast, it might not have fit. It will by necessity be a medium weight jacket. No room for layering.

By comparison, here are a couple of pics in my Aero Cowhide 50's Highwayman.

I have to say that I'm coming to like the Highwayman more and more. When I first saw them, I thought they were too boxy, but get a slim cut, pull those cinch straps in and you've got a very cool jacket. *adds to lengthening list* Still have a radjacke as my 'next buy' though.

Damn Jags that is such a great colour! I am green with envy. In this member's opinion your new Schott totally puts that aero in the shade

I keep seeing the word slim in your posts. Let me know when you get something for pot bellies. I think we are in the majority! When I was slim, I didn't have the money for a jacket.

While it is true that most of our jackets won't work for people who are not height / weight proportionate, just as vintage jackets won't work for people who are not height / weight proportionate, there are definitely some great jackets that we carry that work for our larger customers. In terms of halfbelts, the Schott Sunrise Halfbelt works great in size XL (~46) and size XXL (~48 to 50). Three other jackets that work well for our larger customers are the Vanson Model B (all sizes, but size up one), the Vanson Enfield (all sizes, but size up one), and and Schott CAF1 in sizes L, XL, and XXL. Of course, the full-fitting Aero jackets (1950s Halfbelt, Stuart, Highwayman, etc.) are a great option as well! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the shop. We have a guaranteed-fit policy and we'll get you in something you'll absolutely love!!!

As people like Jag (please see above) can attest to, Insurrection never gives up and will find either the right size in the jacket style you want, or use the manufacturer with the fit you need to recreate the jacket of your dreams! We feel that each fit that we put out there is a direct reflection on the quality of our products and our merchandise, so we WON'T, simply WON'T, allow a customer to walk away without a quality jacket with an awesome fit...it just might not be with the manufacturer that you initially thought was the manufacturer for you!

The Mister Freedom boots are really nice. Have a pair and they are the best boots I could find. Congrats

I was planning on calling this morning, but my 15 year old son showed up and drained my entire jacket fund! Oh well maybe later.

Aero has agreed to replicate these jackets (sweet 1920s replica pieces from our vintage collection to ensure fit!) for us using Brown Horween FQHH. We've had such an amazing relationship with Aero and I'm very, very excited for this great 1920s jacket to come our way!!!

Now that we've negotiated a monthly allotment of Aero jackets from Aero, we can also, beginning January 1, 2013, keep our wait times for custom pieces at four to eight weeks!

The Mister Freedom boots are really nice. Have a pair and they are the best boots I could find. Congrats

We're so excited to be working with both Christophe and John to bring our customers the VERY best in engineer boots! Thanks!!!

I was planning on calling this morning, but my 15 year old son showed up and drained my entire jacket fund! Oh well maybe later.

Awesome to hear about the new Aero style! Please post some pics when you get them!

It must be near impossible to choose between the Road Champs and Lofgren boots!

The 1920s jacket didn't arrive today, but a bunch of jackets for our shop and lucky customers did!!!

Here's a great cafe' racer, which utilizes the breast pocket structure of a 1960s Bates or early Schott cafe' racer... Very, very cool...!!!

We liked the slanted pocket idea so much, we had to have some for stock...!!!

And, of course, a beautiful J106 for one of our very best customers...!!!

Jackets shipping off today along with a great early Highwayman that Ken sent along for us to show off...! SWEET!!!

 

[Ishmael]

Nice jackets! Those photos are simply oozing PNW.

 

[767fo]

Mojo, What hide is the Highwayman made with? Looks to have a lot more grain the the others.

 

[Edward]

Is that a new label style on the HWM?

It looks to be a heavy steerhide, but I'll be in touch with Ken to find out the details...

Is that a new label style on the HWM?

It's an old Aero tag...probably from close to the beginnings of the company...very, very nice jacket!!!
