New Aero Windward

[Windward]

August, very nice take on the Windward. I'd always thought of it as a jacket that was perfect for older guys (like me) to cover their beer guts, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it on a younger guy in good shape, pairing it with a hip sort of outfit. I had to go back to the Aero page and look at it again. Kudos to you.

Thanks god I only enjoy it to have good wine and don't have a beer gut....see evidence below

Windward in Seal Jerky Horsehide with studded collar and A-2 epaulettes - have ordered this also with my Vintage brown Windward which is already gone...

Thanks for sharing - are you sure the black one is Horse it looks like Elephant
Do you prefer AERO chest pocket position or the lower chest pocket position?

It may be Elephant! They put this tag inside, so not sure! it does say Genuine. Not a heavy jacket.

I don't have a pocket preference. None of those jackets fit me, 40, 36, 46. No 44. I saw an original that would have fit recently, but passed.

It was a hard way to find the best fit/lenght since my first 46" standard Windward in the year 2004 had a backlenght of ridiculous 19,5" (bolerolike) Today I tend to 24,5" back and 22" front which means 1" added to my current because the lenght will shorten 0.5 to 1" when fully broken in....

Finally my new Windward arrived!
Here is some pictures of the fit and from the box.
I recieved it Yesterday and wore it straight out from the box! I even slept in it to begin the break in process properly.

What do you think of the fit ?
- The sleeves fit nicely eventhough they look a bit short on the pictures!

Im so excited for my first Aero!
Thanks to all who advised me on this one!

What is the back length of this jacket for your height? I am 186-187, I don’t know which back length I should choose.
