LOVE the color of that Aero Dustbowl in the kudu! And I'll second Fanch's question about your height the length of your jackets. I really like the look of where they fall on you.

Yep, love the DB in kudu. That's the smoothest looking version of the hide I've seen, does it look as good close up?

When I saw Rob's DB, I immediately thought of the similarity in appearance and fit between Rob's DB and Sloan's. No question that Aero hit a home run with that particular design.

Thank you for the positive comments gents. I'm 6'1" tall. The jacket back lengths are as follows - approx from base of collar to bottom edge:

Hwm - 25"
Hg5-25"
Dustbowl-27"
Spiegel-30.5"
Schott-26"

The Kudu does look good close up - but not smooth - it's shown in another thread on here in different lighting with a better camera

Hope it's ok to reopen this thread, which is a great thread by the way. First time I've shown my FQHH Highwayman. By far my favourite utility jacket.
Love the label, requested in favour of the current one, hence me showing it here. Lining is weathered McKenzie tartan.

Looks great Mark, nice lining.

Excellent fit, Mark. Nice jacket.

One of the best fitting HWMs I've seen posted here. Is it the Premier model?

 

[Fanch]

That HWM does look very nice, just covering the belt. I was also wondering if it was one of the slimmer fitting HWM from the Premier line?

 

[yakima]

An excellent fit.

Wondering the same thing. The fit doesn't look boxy at all on such a slim looking guy.

+1!!! :arated:
It's got a classic collar, so I guess it's a standard HWM.

Mark, if I remember correctly, you're 36 in jackets, right? You didn't even need to size down for such a fantastic fit.

Lost Worlds Goat Suburban

Looks good Wilbur.

 

[handymike]

Looks great on you! I love the Suburban.

 

[navetsea]

my utility jacket is this one
hi-visibility is a factor
many pockets ( this model was based on vented jacket, but all vents were turned into pockets, different collar too)
it has my "name" on it
and I'm eager to fade it more in the sun and rain.

Motorcycle HWM. Near new when these were taken, the jacket fits much better now and once all the doubts have cleared, it is absolutely by far my fav jacket and the best one I've ever had.

 

[Monitor]

Navetsea, I really, really love that jacket of yours. Fit is perfect, but considering it's you we're talking about, that's a given.

 

[navetsea]

^ monitor, your modifiedHWM has great fit, trim and length wise it is perfect imo.
