I can only add to the praise above, it looks and fits great.
How are you finding the tweed lining? I'm wondering how it compares in warmth and comfort to the wool tartans.

The Teamster looks phenomenal! It's one of the Aero jackets that I've wanted for a while now and the leather color is outstanding. I must have one.

Beautiful jacket Dav! Looks like it's goning to be easy and comfortable to wear. It's funny how the outdoor photos make it look more cordovan than brown. Amazing sleeve wrinkles for such a new jacket!
I've actually been thinking about doing something like this myself and was wondering if I could ask your a couple questions. How is the freedom of movement in the arms and shoulders without the action back? And how hard are the buttons to do up?
Thanks for sharing Dav - I have a feeling that jacket is going to see a lot of wear!

Thanks all!
Jake - not too sure how it compares to the tartans as I've never tried a jacket with that lining, it is noticably thinner, cooler and is a bit more itchy than the Alpacca though.
Bob - I'm losing some movement by removing the action back, how much is difficult to say as I've not tried one with it, safe to say though that driving is no problem but I wouldn't like to play golf or bowl a cricket ball while wearing it. The buttons are rather stiff at the moment but with time will ease!
Karhu/Rudie - Lol, I don't have a problem with that.

You've quite the collection. I'm beginning to fall in love with the look of Aeros, particularly in cordovan. Thanks for sharing...

Great Teamster Dav, really looks the business - enjoy the break in!
Just noticed this comment. Is the chest size the same as your HWM?
Reason I ask is that my 40" HWM and Teamster both have 19" shoulders seam to seam. My 40" Stockman would have had 19.5" shoulders, which I felt was a smidge too much, so I went down to the 38" which had the same 19" shoulders (if you still follow me!).
Others have said that Aero sizing can be "variable".

Just got the tape out.
The Teamster is 19" across shoulders, 22" seam to seam across chest
The HWN is 20.25" shoulders, 22" across chest
Both size 42
I've always known that the HWN was a bit big in the shoulder but loved it so much that I've stuck with it, the Teamster I did ask for the shoulders to be no more than 19", I forgot to mention that in the OP!

Very interesting. My 40" Teamster is also 22" across the chest, but my 40" HWM is only 20". The back of the HWM is 20.5" at the widest seam, but the Teamster is 20". The side panels on both obviously add to the overall chest width, but your Teamster is very different in the back design, so not at all comparable.
Possibly your mods, especially the shoulder width, made it more akin to a standard 40". No doubt others will have other different dimensions to throw into the mix.
