From the elbows down, you look like ton!
Have been away for a while. Just got a new jacket from Aeroleather, one I have been thinking about quite a while. I always liked the Highwayman, but the boxy cut also made me think "this is not for you". Now I decided to follow Aero's advice to size one down, from my regular 48" to 46". All measures given to assure a trim fit (maybe a bit too much, though ;-)). The hide is Cordovan FQHH, lining a nice Lochcarron Tartan that compliments the reddish-brown of the leather. I ordered one inner pocket opposite the outer one and no stormcuffs.
here's a nice view on the Tartan, which I like quite a bit. Beautiful stuff!
I guess the jacket will sagg a bit once the leather becomes softer, this might give me 1/2" in length. The shoulders also should be fine after some wear.
Actually, I'm very pleased with the fit. It is trim and short and that's fine. Fits like a glove, to be precise... ;-)
Looking good man. I like the double black belt action!
Can't see the pics.Congrats , very nice!

Cool Idea. I'm still learning!The sleeves are fine. If you were really bothered by them, you could soak the sleeves in warm water and then clothes peg hang some weights on them (not too heavy) and then let the weights stretch the sleeves slightly. Won't hurt the jacket.
