I did. Honestly I like the sheene better TBH. I'm anxious to see how yours turns out. If I had the scratch I'd be buying Dan_t's like yesterday.Have you seen the new Simmons Bilt pattern?

The Board Racer is smaller than the equivalent Café Racer…so a size 40 in a Café Racer would approximate a size 42 in a Board Racer. I’m sure Carrie (at Thurston Bros.) or Aero can explain the subtle differences much more precisely than I can.
Some things to add.
Thank you all for your advise and tips.
I will go with 1 chest pocket because I dont want another jacket with 2 slanted chest pockets because i already own one:

I prefer the cafe racer fit. The cafe racer is more V-shaped and the board racer is a a straighter fit.
Here are my board racer and my old cafe racer jackets. Now i am 10 pound lighter then i was when i bought the cafe racer.

Aero_Fan07, thank you for posting your jacket and your nice tartan lining. But i already have some jackets with different tartan linings.

Just for clarification Moira Mac has NOT left Aero. Moira Mac is a bit of specialist of Cafe Racer, Board Racers and Sheene here at Aero.
The Moira at Simmons Bilt is a different Moira.
Sorry to dredge up such an old thread, but I thought this was interesting. That future show-through is what is making me unsure of whether to keep the internal panel- does it look bad or is it a nice feature that makes that back look unique? Hmmm... pics, anyone?Remove kidney panel, both in and out. I've noticed that the inner panel tends to show through the back of the jacket with time, just like Aero says the inside pocket would, and so much that the jacket starts to look like it actually has a kidney panel so it's best to get rid of it altogether. Or maybe have a rounded one installed? Like on Ridley.
