Finally bagged a Good Wear. The A-1 capeskin just came in the mail today. So far I really like it. Nice light weight jacket for summer. It is tagged a 46, but I almost wish it was longer. What say all of you on the fit. I just love the color and the detail, stitching and so on............Still looking for a JC Ventura then I''m done.

I browsed through Aeros Sale Page yesterday, nearly bought a jacket, but then it came to my mind I still had this one... Mendels 9+ lbs Highwayman.. spent the rest of the evening treating it with some beewax leather conditioner and wore it out today.

Lengthwise it just covers my belt, which is awful because people stare at my wide exposed navel all the time. Rather than this dandy look, I really wish it was three inch longer (which wouldn't turn it into a car coat ofcourse).

I think it looks good, but I totally get where you're coming from. That's why I prefer jackets with a 2" dip in front :). That way you get the length to cover the belt +, but it doesn't look oversized from the back.

Oh, I love the jacket as it is! I do agree though that a front dip is great for styles whos backlength would otherwise result in the belt not covered in the front. My next jacket is actually going to be the Aero Cossack, which is their 1930s HB pattern with the front dip. I'm making up my mind on the leather at the moment. Want something that doesn't age as quickly as CLX. Considering seal goat.
