Maxwell in brown FQHH - Configuration questions

Well the Teamster could be an option, but I must say the pics I saw of do not attract me as much as the Maxwell. I have the impression that the Teamster is slightly wider in cut and also the arms are wider and the silhouette around the shoulders is much more "boxy" than the Maxwell. Another thing I have to ask Aero about.

Anyone can say something to the yoke question? Is it merely aesthetics or does it come from a functional resason?

Yokes are typically a design thing. Aero's 30s Half belt typically comes with a 2 point yoke, while Insurrection does their standard with a 1 point yoke. The Cossack is the same jacket with a single piece back (no yoke).

Here's the back of my Pioneer jacket or what was left of the design, I exaggerated the yoke to more western look front and back, it has the centre pleat, but also an outer pleat on each side which is very comfortable and makes moving so much more easy, hope this helps

Yes, you are right, in the end I have to speak to Aero. I just want to gather as much knowledge as possible before so I can describe precisely what I want.

Teamster would be right concerning length, maybe just a tad shorter. But I dont like the button type and the horizontal seam at the breast. Also, what I like most on the Maxwell is how the collar sits. I could be mistaken, but I have the impression that it sits a bit higher and more standing up than on the Teamster or Stuart.

Here is what I mean:

Collar "flat" and more lying down:


Collar more upright and "standing":

My teamsters collar looks exactly like the maxwell in the above picture, it definitely lays flat. Also you can choose which style of button to go for.

They really should make that a standard line design, your take on it.... I'm seeing it in goatskin, myself...
