A question concerning the contract:
The 1938 contract is said to be really trim fitted, but your jacket doesn't look too tight, just great!
Is it the original contract 1938 or was it customized?
Thanks and kind regards,
Johannes

Cole, I hope that the tapering works. However from my experience, I think it's a bit of a challenge getting things right after it's made. My Cheyenne was huge, so Aero tried to taper it in. It fit better in the body, but the shoulders/arm holes got screwed up in the process. I tried to love it, but ended up selling it.
After that experience, I try to stick with the standard pattern and only modify the length of the jacket/sleeves. I would bet that a size 44 would fit you very well.
I was going to stop posting pics, but here's one of my re-done 1938 GW. I think it came out pretty well. I added 2 inches in length (Butte was right ), but still very fitting.

There is news about this jacket.

Now Amanda and Will where able to see the problem and suggested to send the jacket back, so they could tapper it.
To be honest I don't have the slightest clue what tappering a leather jacket means exactly. Is it a reduction of the pit to pit meassurement? Any understandable explanation would be highly welcome.

So better get a remake with the contract ordered ...
After exchanging some more emails with Amanda this will be exactly our way to proceed. We both recheck the meassurements and then Aero will make me a new jacket, that will hopefully fit better this time.
