New Aero Bootlegger v. 2.0 CXL Brown

IMO with your posture you should be looking for jackets with short backs and a front drop.
I think you could probably get away with a 24" back if the front was long enough to cover your belt.
That way you would not get all that extra material creasing and bunching in the back.
Sleeve length wise, i think the cordo is too short, but the brown is at least 1" if not more too long.
Have you ever had a 30's halbelt with a front drop?

Thanks for the tips here. I did have one, actually bought off the rack from Thurston when they still had thier store. Kept it from 2015 - 2020. Had a #10 zip put in it, wore it a lot, just didn't "love" the pattern. It was a heavy black Steerhide one.

Love the hooch but can’t abide by that center “gusset”. The video clearly illustrates why. I would def have one without that feature though. I know why it’s there and I can see it works but.....it’s just too...anatomical*

* in place of a more accurate descriptor.

Since that gusset is reminiscent of something I have spent almost my entire life pursuing then perhaps it is appropriate to make it a centerpiece of a nice jacket.

Damn guys. I had to read all of your comments several times just to understand what you were referring to. You need to get your minds out of the gutter.

At this point in my life, it’s the closest to new gusset I will get to. I dig it.

Aerofan's 'legger is heading to me! I'm really looking forward to it... I have ape-like arms (among my many other anatomical oddities) so I'm looking forward to a jacket with correct sleeves!
