lol ignoring the scrawny figure, I was hoping someone'd notice the pose. XD If Super can do it, so can I.

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... ;-)
Congrats , very nice!

98 degrees in Oakland today, too hot to wear any jacket. Gave me a chance to soak the Himel Heron in the sun, try and get rid of the weird smell. Sure is a beautiful jacket. Emailed Himel, they said "Honestly any sewer could reattach those buttons as for the smell..try fabreeze spray". I am assuming they meant on the lining only and not the leather What does everyone use on the leather, Pecard or something? Should I treat the leather?
OK, this should probably be on another thread, sorry if I am not following proper forum protocol.
Here are some fit pics of the Jacket I would have worn today. I have been told I have serious high water sleeves and should consider trading this in. What do you guys think. Even though I haven't actually worn it yet, the more I see it and try it on, the more I love it. But how bad are the short sleeves? Ok guys, lets hear it!

Yea, still available. I saw it on the Thurston website. https://www.thurston-bros.com/collections/aero-leather-clothing-of-scotland/products/aero-chips
Cool Idea. I'm still learning!
