welcome to this place where many of these guys are a font of knowledge re jackets and clothing.

thank you. it was this forum that led me to place an order with Thurston Bros last week - an Aero premium bootlegger in russet goatskin. and yeah, i'll post pictures when it arrives next month.

We're up and running with the new Premier Highwayman. This jacket is a slim 1930s edition of the Standard 1950s Highwayman, with slimmer biceps and shoulders as well as higher armholes! Call us today at (206) 550-3545 and we'll get you going with an Aero fit jacket for your new Premier Highwayman.

Arrrrrrgh! Just when I (almost) had it narrowed down to what my next jacket would be, along comes the Premier 1930's Highwayman! Thanks Carrie! :eusa_doh::D

Folks,

Have had a good time reading all the material on this site, very educational and much appreciated. And, Wade has been helpful in working out fit details.

I am about to order a Wayfarer (of which I have seen no photos on this site!) with some modifications - no outside chest pockets, button cuff, brown tweed liner with cord bottom border, probably tumbled brown hh. The shoulders on the fit jocket are really tight, but I am assuming it will mold to fit with wear. And, I have a big drop from wide shoulders, long monkey arms, and a pretty small waist.

Any other considerations I am missing? Thanks.

the wayfarer was in my list of jackets to consider, but i opted with the bootlegger. would be a very interesting jacket without the chest pockets, although it could also be cool to do the chest pockets without zippers. agree the button cuff would be sharper. any way you go, be sure to post photos.

Welcome to the forum, sounds like you're already put a lot of thought into the jacket. I totally agree that the button sleeves are the way to go. I do like the chest pockets, but understand deleting them as there is a lot going on across the top of the jacket. Not much to add except that I think the tumbled brown is a great choice, I've been enjoying breaking in a tumbled brown cafe racer for the last month or so.
