Coronado Leather Original Rider Vest No. 4319 in pebbled cowhide, size 44. It's a great piece that may be a tad short for me, but I will give it the old college try...

Curious what y'all think.

Some more pics of my 1940s California Sportswear aviator. It's bigger than I'm used to, but I don't think it's too big. Maybe at most half a size big, but I still like it. It's very comfortable and while it is much longer than I prefer, it still looks "correcf." 5his is the first leather jacket I've ever owned that I think looks definitively better zipped up than unzipped.

I like it, it's got good shape and a relaxed look.

Looks great, and that patina is glorious!

It’s a beautiful jacket but I think it does look one size up/ too big if I’m being honest. Doesn’t mean you can’t wear it though.

It looks okay, but I agree maybe doesn’t fit the style you’re after. The windward fits you a lot better, even the Sportclad goatskin. That being said, I would very much like to own this jacket so take my opinion with a grain of salt

I like it. More relaxed compared to most of the jackets you have and have had. But I think variety is good. There's room in the closet for both relaxed and tight fitting leathers.

Looks a size too big IMO - but it looks "right" when worn with the loose-fit denim.

Don't like it compared to your usual fits tbh, but it may just be that the length doesn't go well with the high rise and tucked shirt.
