Slim fitting Aeros

[Jägernaut]

Was wondering which aero jackets would be considered slim fitting aside from the obvious slimfit halfbelt and cafe racers? Reason i ask is im wanting a fall/winter jacket that doesnt look too roomy. I would consider highwayman just a bit too roomy between waist and chest.

Generally, the 20s and 30s jackets are slim-fitting: Dustbowl, Original Hercules etc.

Not a lot of fit pics of original herc. Schitzo's only ones i could find.

 

[Sloan1874]

Yes, but very good pics. Have you tried Thurston thread?

Don't overlook a Maxwell or a Mulligan either.

Do you think the teamster fits into the skim category?

Do you think the teamster fits into the skim category?

No, the teamster is a 50's fit...i suppose you could size down...or maybe ask them to make it slimmer than usual?

Actually my Teamster fits somewhat on the slim side, although it is FQHH, I restricted the back length to 28.5" and had it lined with moleskin. Had I sized down from a size 42 to a size 40, it would definitely be a slim fit.

Of the newer Aero jackets, it appears that the Plainsman, Wayfarer, Board Racer and August are also based on the 30's slimfit design.

I think J106 is the slimmest one

I would mention the Aero Sheene- been a couple of threads on here as of late. Clearly a slim fitting jacket although it may just be a cafe racer with a traditional collar. Not sure if that would work but definitely looks tapered and very complimentary on the right build.

How slim do you want? None of them are "modern baggy", but the Highwayma is not ideal if you want tight. Insurrection are wortb talking to if you're i n the US, as a tight fit is definitely the preferred house style there.

 

[Jägernaut]

Im waiting on a cafe racer through insurrection. I guess i can just wear a hoodie or sweatshirt if it is too cold out. It is the fit i wanted anyway.

The Board Track Racing Shirt is very slim fitting too - it's designed to follow the curvature of your back.
