yeah, I have a love hate relationship with Aero. I love the CXL, but like a few of us have mentioned, the patterns aren't always the best. My Sheene is probably the tightest fitting, I think 22.5 ptp and 18 shoulder, but it just feels weird being worn. Love how it's evolved color wise, but man I really think about it every time I grab it to wear. And it's one of those things where I don't think if it were the next size up it would make a difference. Just isn't quite right.Fwiw, I’m same height as you and a little lighter. I wear size 40 in Aeros 50’s pattern and they are mostly P2P 23.5” to 24.25”. I think that’s just how those jackets are cut especially with the low armholes. But they taper down to 20” hem. These superman shaped jackets looks good from the back but low arm holes isn’t the best when it comes to moving, gracefully.
My cafe racer fits great and is essentially same size, but has shoulder gussets which I think really changes everything for the better.
That Ridley has been on my wish list for a while. Being Vicenza, I thought I could probably get away on the smaller side since the leather will be a little more stretchy. I've seen some 42s being worn that look good fit wise, pretty much how I'd wear it. But this 44 doesn't look too far off, maybe a little big up top but not too bad. Especially at a great price. I'll be keeping my eyes open for the next one.
