Vintage Aero Highwayman - Steerhide 38" - measurements revised!

[breezer]

This one isn't getting worn much - its a a little bit too small for me, so I am offering it up for sale. Its a late 80's / early 90's Highwayman in Connolly steer hide, with the classic Stuart tartan lining. Its condition is well used - properly broken in!

The only issue is the lining which has frayed and been crudely patched by the previous owner. As you probably know the lining can be redone by Aero if it bothers you, but it has never been an issue for me.

Its marked as a 38" - the storm cuffs & pockets are fine - more pics and measurements to follow. Postage will be charged at cost depending on how you want it shipped. £200

More pics below - please note there are 3 small patches in total - and two small areas of fraying - all located at the base of the liner. On the right arm you can see there are a couple of scuffs. If you think my price is off please feel free to make me an offer.

This jacket is a beautiful vintage Aero - properly broken over a couple of decades. Black leather jackets don't get much better than this - just look at the grain of the leather and the line of that yoke! Regarding size and fit - I am 6 feet tall /slim, with a 38/40 chest. This jacket is fine for me over a t-shirt, but it reality its just a tad too small for me - hence the reason I am offering it for sale.

please note this dress makers dummy is for a slim lady - the reason the arms look so long is that the shoulders of the jacket are sagging.

What's the shoulder measurement?
Thanks.

 

[breezer]

What's the shoulder measurement?

I have run the tape measure across the back, from shoulder to shoulder (top) and it reads 18.5"

Also - I have revised the other measurements after looking at the Aero site - please note, the revised measurements are as follows:

Zipped up and laid flat on its back, pit to pit: 22.5"

new pics!

Thought it might be worthwhile posting some snaps of yours truly modelling this fine jacket. As I mentioned above, this jacket is probably a fraction too small for me, I could definitely do with a size up. I'm selling as I don't wear it often and need to make room for new purchases.

Its a 38" - I am 6 feet tall, slim build an normally wear a 38/40/medium in most garments. But whats not to like about this vintage Highwayman? Free postage in the UK - I will split the cost of shipping with any buyer to the rest of the world.
