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.

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 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.

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.
