Hi all,
I ordered this Aero D-Pocket Ridley off the Thurston Bros featured stock page a little less than a week ago and got it in the mail today. I was hoping to get some feedback on the fit/appearance. I am leaning towards keeping it, I'm really happy with the lighter weight leather and lining--it extends wear time significantly here in Texas.
This is my first experience with Vicenza leather and I have been intrigued by the blackened brown for some time. There seems to be very little information on its evolution/aging so if I keep this jacket I'll hope to update in this thread. I'm very happy with the measurements, the body and sleeve length are pretty much where I would have ordered them if I went custom. It's got a little more breathing room than my Sheene, both size 40, but it's most likely due to the leather. It's pretty snug across the shoulders, but I have more mobility than in the Sheene. I think this jacket will break in quite nicely, giving me a little more range of motion.
Jacket measurements (According to TB, haven't measured the jacket myself):
Back length--26 inches
Sleeve length--25.75 inches
Pit-to-pit--22 inches
Shoulder--19 inches
Waist/hem--19.5 inches
Personal Measurements:
5' 11"
180-185 depending on how big/tasty breakfast was
The work pants I am wearing in the photos have a generous rise, but it's representative of the jeans and pants that I wear normally. The belt I have on in the photos lies pretty much exactly underneath the jacket belt, which I think looks good but may introduce accelerated wear at the waistband lining. I tried to take photos with the jacket zipped/unzipped, cuffs open/closed, the collar button/unbuttoned, and in different light for comparison. Apologize for cell quality pics but thats the only option on hand.
Thanks for looking, and all feedback is appreciated!
