When i first posted pictures of this 3 16 trucker made by SB, it was OK on the upper side but too long and wide in the bottom. I had it shortened and slimmed, and it now fits satisfyingly. It has that strange back that must have been a technical challenge since it's basically one big piece of leather, but can be esthetically questionable to some.
I'm happy with it, especially because of the very pleasing Horween lux.

It’s a nice trucker for sure, but imo your Aero trucker is the best one that I’ve ever seen. Ever. Impossible to top.
Thanks. The Aero is my favorite trucker, with the jerky HH and contrast stitching.
On the Aero site, they say how proud they are of the current model, and rightfully so. It is the best around. The proportions are perfect.

I plan on one day emailing Aero the pics of your trucker and ask them to make me one “exactly like that one”.
Yeah, that jacket is seriously without equal. It's an example of how the Type-3 ought to fit. Aero really destroyed the competition with that one. What I don't understand though how did you manage to get the creases into it! I wore my jerky HH trucker two years now and it still looks new!
Cool! When you do, let me know if you need any more info.
I gave it the spray treatment. Just once, and it was enough.
That's the reason why I ordered Aero's Type III in suede vegtan rust goat about 3-4 months ago....still awaiting their re-opening after Covid-19 closure! The one pictured looks beautifully too but I always wanted to try out a suede jacket and I'm sure I won't regret it.View attachment 235860 View attachment 235863

I also like their modern interpretation of the Type III especially the modified chest pocket designSorry for the cross-post...but I really feel Fine Creek did a nice job with their version of the Storm Rider:

30 pages in and I've a hit a wall. I already knew I wanted a trucker before I started!
Anyway, just wondering where you guys place Vanson in the trucker's hierarchy. Is there anything wrong with their maverick? Is there a better deal out there than a vanson for $398?
At that price, it's the very best value you can get.that's their price for a new one, in firenze

I think they measure around the jacket. But no matter how u measure chest You have to consider the thicker leather and thin liner taking up some room. 4.5 inch of chest ease is pretty snug in my book.Thanks for the intel fellas. I want it to fit short, like it should, which rules vanson in and a lot of others out.
My only concern at this point with vanson is the shoulders and I wonder if they might be a bit on the narrow side. I'm no trucker expert, far from it, but based off what I've seen denin wise so far it looks like these jackets tend to have broader shoulders with narrower chests. I haven't seen the vanson shoulder measurements yet but I know the chest has 4.5" of room, which is not especially narrow
