Red hides the vindaloo that goes stray. Btw, my house is red too Joakim. Good choice if I do say so

If all the new jackets coming in April are as good as this, it is gonna be a big spending year!:eeek:

 

[nabottle]

Excellent Jacket! It fits great!

 

[Sir Jacket]

Super jacket, Balls. That one's a keeper. SJ

 

[Edward]

Looks great. What is the overall fit like in feel? I am sure I read somewhere it was going to be even more tapered than the 30s Halfbelt, though in the shots of it laid out it looks somewhat more straight up and down, a la a Highwayman?

 

[wild_balls]

I though it would be more slim than the 30's hb, I am not restricted in movement at all! It's more like a V shape back and a touch of Highwayman in the front except for the longer front towards the middle. As you can see the adjustment buckles are put low on this sample.


Cheers Joakim

Here comes some measurements , size 40, pit to pit 22,5", Shoulder to end of cuff 25,2", back 23,3", Shoulder to shoulder 18", front 2,5" longer than back,
Zipper 19,5"

[wdw]

Thanks for that. Interestingly relatively narrow in the shoulders, and trim in the chest for Aero.

 

[wild_balls]

I am surprised over the freedom of movement!!!

 

[wild_balls]

Btw, thanks everybody for your kind words!


Cheers Joakim

For reference- the good folks at aero tell me this jacket is cut about 1-1.5" higher than the other half belts.

Update on mine (er, rather, some one else's): got a message from Rachel today informing me that the black prototype I had purchased was sold to someone else instead. I'm trying to tell myself that this is all "for the best" but right now I'm bummin out

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Maybe I'm missing something..but...if you had actually 'purchased' the jacket...how did they sell it to someone else..??
