That's my jacket! I can't wait till I get it. I wanted the j107 but it seemed to bulky. I liked the board racer fit which the ridley is built on. So I was told I could make the ridley look like the 107. Looks awesome can't wait!

This version of the Ridley doesn't have the front panel or the double side cinches...it has a regular kidney panel and belt loops (like the J107) for the matching belt. The J107 does have epaulets, but that feature wasn't added to this Ridley. Basically, this is a slim fit version of the J107!

I didn't know know that the ridley is a slimmer fit than the j107. is not possible to have a j107 tapered down at the waist so it would be just as slim as the ridley or am i missing something? Is the leather on the ridley thinner than a j107 or is it whatever the customer selects? Also does the top flaps of the lapel on the ridley haven hidden snaps to get them down when riding? Thx

I was told that the 107 pattern could not be slimed down to the specs of the Ridley. The Ridley pattern from what I am told is the same in terms of slim specs to the board racer and maybe the same as the Sheene. I was told that I could not get a slim 107, but I could make the Ridley look like a 107. The leather should be whatever you want. I chose the FQHH and it should be the same thickness I would assume as any other jacket with the same leather. As for the top lapels, I ordered no snaps don't know if they do hidden ones or not.

Thanks for the compliment Damo!

Your welcome, I'm eagerly awaiting fit pics. Did you go thru the fit jacket process? If so was it the ridley that was used for it?

For fitting for the j107 they sent me a j106. For fitting for the Ridley they sent me a Board Racer.

The Aero Sunburst is one of our most popular half belt styles...you can custom order matching thread, or subtle to dramatic contrast stitching, depending on how much you want to highlight the six-panel back piece!

If you'd like to get fitted for this style, or any of Aero's half belt jackets, contact us at info@thurston-bros.com to reserve a fit jacket and start your custom order. To learn more about our custom ordering process, click through to this page on our website: Ordering a Custom Aero

Thx. So you tried the 106 and it wasn't slim enough so then you were able to go the board racer ultimately ridley way? That's great to know they offered these options to you.

Both Carrie and my girlfriend who gifted me the jacket were very patient with me through the whole process. Carrie's communication and patience should be rewarded.
