Not perfect fit but I can't complain since it was bought from sale page. I am 5"11 and 175-180 lbs

Please explain how the fit is short of perfect.

In the pics it looks absolutely sublime and I cannot recall a HWM fitting anyone better,

And what size is it? Size 40?

Don’t know what a perfect fit is, but it looks more than good enough to my eye!

I could use 0.5 inches in front lengh and 0.5 inches in shoulder.
Also the hide in this highwayman is unusually soft and lack of substantial feel(5.4lbs) which I am not happy , I do appreciate the stiffness of the horsehide, in general I prefer my 50s HB(5.8lbs).

I'm afraid you're wrong about the length at the front bro. With all due respect to the belt police, that length you have is optimum for a HWM. Re the shoulders that's harder for me to judge without a pic of it zipped up. But if you say they're a bit tight then i guess they must be. Perhaps more wear might loosen them up some

Seconded.

HWM isn't a coat. And yeah, I wish the one I got fit me nearly as good as yours, @Hh121 ...

Earlier today i took some shots of the Aero Antique Steer 30s HB i was fortunate to acquire from HoosierDaddy. Superlatives are insufficient to describe my feelings for this jacket. Suffice it to say it’s my ultimate jacket in every way. I’ll not covet others. Thank you Van, your generosity Sir.
Pics will speak.
Be well all. Bowen

Very nice jacket but... I'm sorry, but in my opinion, it looks really, really big on you. It's just an insanely huge jacket for you! It doesn't look bad because the jacket is still holding up its shape, same as it looks good standing there on the ground, but once the hide relaxes... I don't know, man. I'm afraid it'll just start drooping over you and that won't look good. You can see the sides are collapsing inwards!

You got some awesome jackets that fit you awesomely but this one just isn't it.

How much did Ton pay you to write this?

Yes, I have to agree with @Monitor, he said same thing to me when I posted my new Lost Worlds test back in 2016, and now I have to sell it even though I gained some mass during past year but it is too big for me!
