Ordered my first Aero highwayman

[Hammerklavier]

Finally, I ordered my first Aero highwayman jacket with CXFQHH in Cordovan, especially thanks to @Sloan1874 for gave me email to get in touch with Fizz, she is extremely nice and helpful, she understood that I need a jacket urgently and she found one in Stock at my size, and it's already shipped this morning, the shipping weight marked 3.50 kg, is it normal weight you guys received?Fizz told me it is heavier weight compare to stock jacket #63 in brown FQHH.
Will post pics after delivered, hope it fits me!

Congrats - my fqhh Highwayman weighs just over 3 kilos and yours will be in a robust high quality cardboard box. You won't notice the weight when you're wearing it but anyone who picks it up will comment on how heavy it feels, (compared to the lightweight fashion jackets they're used to handling).

Thanks, Rob! Looking forward!

Cool - look forward to seeing photos when it arrives. The only downside of any of my Aeros has been the waiting time: like you, my Highwayman, however, was bought from stock ,and it's lovely when that happens!

 

[Hammerklavier]

Thanks Edward! It will arrive this Friday (unbelievably efficient work)

Congratulations!! You will really enjoy it, I do also truly hope the fit is spot-on. It'll take a while to break in (I'm still working on a J106 FQHH) but that too is part of the process. Hope we get to see some pictures of it soon....

 

[Hammerklavier]

Yes, I promise, the pictures will be here at Friday, about size, I basically take my current cowhide jacket as a reference, the difference is the Aero has 24 inches pit to pit but my cowhide jacket only around 23, I figured it is not gonna be a problem

My first Aero jacket was a FQHH in cordovan (mine has a Harris Tweed lining). A great choice, I look forward to seeing pictures of your new arrival on this thread.

Thank you, Smoz! I was actually checked your pics before decide whether go to brown or Cordovan, the brown one has half inches longer sleeve. Congrats to your beautiful jacket!

Everything is perfect except it is too short!! I never know 25 inches back can be that short, what you guys think? Anybody knows how much cost to ship it back?
Many thanks!!

is this a low waist pair of jeans or something you normally wear?

 

[Hammerklavier]

It is regular straight fit, Harris

 

[Harris HTM]

To be honest I don't like the photo from the front, your first photo, I find it indeed a bit short. What is your height?

 

[Harris HTM]

Except for the length all the rest fits really good

 

[Hammerklavier]

Thanks Harris, I am 6 foot, I found when I tuck my shirt in, it looks little bit better, I don't know....

I agree, good fit overall except torso length. I like the jacket to at least cover the belt. I'd wait and get one a bit longer myself. Arms just a hair long & baggy but a very nice jacket overall!

Sorry, I think its a size too large or simply the wrong style for your frame (and a bit short) .

I certainly cant wear a HWM, it just does not suit a slim build imo. Did you look at a Sheene or a 30's half belt? I think they are a much better choice for a slimmer build.
