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!

Congratulations! Great fit! And that style is awesome, I'll have to tackle it again eventually! Can I ask you how tall you are and whether you asked Aero for additional backlength?

It looks good. Neat fit.
Not a style we see very often around here!
I think you will probably gain 0.5" back in the sleeves when the shoulders soften up and and fall down a bit more.
It should be close to perfect once broken in.

Thanks! I picked the Windward because i wanted something unique and not that common! I received lots of compliments on my first day wearing :D

There was a fellow on here who owned several Aero Windwards. I have not seen him around here in some time.

I owned a couple of the originals. One is owned by a current member here. I also owned this beautiful custom French Horsehide Aero. I sold it several years ago as it was too big. It was amazing.

Very nice jacket, a pattern rarely seen on here anymore since a member going by the name Windward stopped posting. As regards the fit, I would need another 1” added to the sleeve length, but that is just a personal preference. Enjoy the break in.

Holy crap August!!
Now i know why i like that jacket so much.
I’m the guy Terry mentioned above with the original. And it looks like it was made yesterday! Thanks for reminding me Terry.
I couldn’t buy it fast enough when he posted it.
Hell yeah that’s a friggin cool__s jacket!
Guess i can be slow as a sloth in winter sometimes! Lol

I have an original Windward Windward (same style), as well as their long half belts. Can you tell me if you can lift and rotate your arms easily? Does the jacket lift up?
