We usually get our jacket samples from Aero in size 42, but we're getting this Aero Blue/Tan A-1 sample in size 40. We wanted to size down due to the 3.0 oz. cowhide so that "blousing" would be avoided and the jacket would be neat and trim! For people who have contacted us about this style with the 3.0 oz. cowhide, we're definitely asking that they size down for the same reason...

Thank you. Is it going to be a wide cut or trim?
I'm hoping the latter

Carrie, it's clear that you guys prefer the neater fitting look, so when you say you size down, do you mean only the chest and shoulder widths? I get the impression that your Aero body lengths and arms are longer than the standard chest sizes you offer.
In simple terms, are your Aeros tighter in the chest and shoulders than the standard patterns, and maybe even a bit longer in the body and/or sleeves? With your preference for downsizing, what we're luckily not seeing is a load of US guys with short sleeves, hence me thinking your standard patterns are slightly different to Aero's rest of the world ones.
I hope that makes sense

That's the blue that we chose to go with for the Aero Blue/Tan A-1 and the Aero Fontana Cafe' Racer! We think it's a nice dark, versatile blue...

Here's the new Aero Blue/Tan A-1! Denny has done an excellent job of modeling the jacket and Rachel took some great photos! Yesterday, we sent out leather samples to those of you who asked for them. We feel that the blue shown, which is the Ocean Blue, is the most widely appealing; however, our Ultra Blue and Sky Blue (this is very close to the greenish-blue leather that Mushmans used) will be excellent options as well!
