I think the 'bubble back' will just calm down on it's own. The back should flatten out and lie straighter

Really nice, can't beat that brown FQHH, and it looks like you nailed the fit there - arms and shoulders look spot-on. Back doesn't seem too bad, but you'll need to give us a couple of side-on shots so we can see the it in profile. Now's the time to wear, enjoy and let it become yours properly!

That's good news.

My camera charger is packed away somewhere. I'll get some iPhone shots asap.
It's raining here, so I'm about to give her a little hydro treatment.

Great fit. Now just wear the hell out of it. Much of the stiffness will relax and just get better and better. Nice..!!
Congrats

IMO the fit appears great, including sleeve length. Congratulations!!

Dude, awesome jacket! Love that lining - looks killer with the brown hide.
Don't sweat the back - that will settle down with wear as others said. I think it fits perfectly and you made great choices on the options. Classy as hell and will last you until you're almost as old as me :lol:
Well done! Merry Christmas.

Congratulations Reeks! Beautiful jacket - reminds me of the one Tobey Maguire wears in Seabiscuit. Outstanding colour and fit!

 

[reeks1]

Thank you all very much! Again, your replies to my questions, etc. truly helped with this process.

Couldn't be happier.

Oh: how long does the smell last? That is the best part.

Beautiful jacket. Fit is right on, and the sleeve length is perfect. Nice touch on the belted cuffs. If this is your first shot at ordering a custom jacket, you did a really nice job. Congrats, and enjoy!!:eusa_clap

The jacket turned out beautifully! I'm really liking the shade of brown FQHH, and the buckle straps on the sleeves. That's a keeper!

It was my first go-'round, yes. Again, couldn't have done it without the FL crew!

The jacket turned out beautifully! I'm really liking the shade of brown FQHH, the simple back, and the buckle straps on the sleeves. That's a keeper!

Thank you. You gave me quite a bit of help along the way. :eusa_clap

^^^Great fit reeks1! The jacket looks perfect on you!

If you'd like a slightly smaller upper back on your next Aero Half Belt, think about the Dustbowl or Sunburst. These half belts don't have pleating coming out of the half belt and they're beautiful jackets!

Excellent jacket in every way , reeks. I really like those sleeve straps, and the stitching worked out well --it is simple and classic. Worth the wait, eh ? You must be well chuffed. I think the smell will last a fair while--my Aero FQHH jacket --bought in May-- still elicits comments from my other half...she's not quite so keen on the aroma as many on here seem to be.....

Could I have ordered my half belt without the pleats? Oh well...I still love it.
