I'm going for a Drifter in the Horween Havana Brown steerhide--but with horn buttons rather than a zip, also I've eliminated the biswing back and halfbelt and just kept the curved yoke and side belts for a less fussy back. Antique brass for pocket zip and buckles and sewn with matching thread (as you know) and a Robertson Hunting Ancient Tartan lining..... can't wait....

Nice!! You already placed the order?
I plan on doing so by tomorrow. Still need to get pics of the fit jackets over to Wade, et. al.

Thanks. Yes, order is placed. I've been emailing Amanda at AL for a while--she's great !--and finalised everything a couple of weeks ago-- jacket should be with me around the end of the month. Good luck with yours !

Alas, I will be waiting until late Dec./early Jan. for mine.

I've been dealing with Thurston and Wade and they've been very patient. I must have tweaked my orders half a dozen times after my "final order" and they never complained.

Look, we're all human. We all get upset and lose our tempers. It happens. All I can say is that Thurston has been very professional and helpful with me.

I posted something here about my working experience with thurston, which wasn't pleasant and my post was deleted! I reached out to admin for some explanation but haven't heard back.

Insurrection sponsor this thread, so you shouldn't be surprised your comments got deleted. If you want to repost, I'd do it on a fresh thread. That said, here's Aero's guide to sizing, which may answer your queries: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/custom.php
I haven't had any experience with Insurrection, but the posts seem to have been uniformly positive, so your comments earlier do sound rather out of character of the shop staff.

You demanded that your custom Aero jacket be made within .25 inches to your specified lengths. This isn't a product that Aero offers. As an Aero retailer, we cannot offer you something that Aero doesn't offer. When this was explained to you, you demanded a refund, despite the fact that you had received a fit jacket and a detailed custom fitting. Although we don't offer refunds after a fit jacket has been sent and the custom fitting has been completed, we are making an exception in this case and your money will be promptly refunded once the fit jacket has been returned to us. Please check this link to understand the Aero custom product: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/custom.php

Again, your money is being refunded, so please refrain from further posts on this thread.
