What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Check with Carrie. She'll give you good advice. Many of us can have similar or different torso lengths regardless of height.

Keep in mind that this Highwayman was made 18 years ago and they were true to size. Some say the ones made now are oversized ( although Aero seems to deny it ) and dropping down in size is the way to go for some.

The opposite happened to me, I bought it in 40 size, and it turned out to be small.

Today I wore my first top tier HH leather jacket that I bought in 2001. An Aero Highwayman purchased off of their sale page.

My 2 cents: as Thurston Bros seems to recommend, the present day Highwayman fit 2 sizes bigger. I’m a 38 in most brands and bought a 34. Still room for a sweater. The premier highwayman is a different pattern altogether.

Yeah, for the past 10 years all the Highwayman jackets I've seen in my normal size - 42 - have a chest size that corresponds to a roomy 46. I have no doubt they have become oversized. Which I don't really understand. Aeros sizes vary a lot because they also have a 42 in other jackets that fits like a 38.

Yes, I was looking at a Highwayman on the sales page recently, a size 40 with the same chest as my 42??? I decided to leave it.

I purchased an Highwayman off of the sale page last year in size 34. P2P laid flat is about 22”.... now I get it’s supposed to be a boxy cut jacket but I don’t think it should be labelled as a 34 either. Just go by the actual measurements with Aero I think it’s the safest thing.

The problem for me comes when ordering a new jacket as with my last order they weren’t able to provide me with stock size measurements. You would expect they’d keep a record of what a size xx of model yy measures . Apparently not. I figured out what size to get based on another Aero I’ve got.

My size 38 HWM has a PTP of 23" (which means it runs two sizes large). I am a true 40" chest and going down 1 size, it is a boxy fit as the style is supposed to be. Going down two sizes is going to be a medium-snug fit depending on what you are wearing with it. If it's t-shirt/shirt most of the time, I'd go down two sizes. Personally, I like to layer and I'm happy I went down only one size. It's boxy with just a t-shirt but it's not getting uncomfortably "sweater getting stuck in armpits"-snug when I wear a wool sweater with it.

I’m thinking I might be a 46 in Lost Worlds jackets...

Yeah, this one seems roomy alright. Doesn't fit bad, tho.

This is why I believe a personal fitting would be in my best interest.

Idk about that one.. if you can return it, I would seriously consider it. Can you wear it and get away with it? Sure thing. But you could do so much better... the question I ask myself with every jacket I try on, is "would I grab for this if it was laying next to one of my top 3". I have seen you posting here pictures of way more than three jackets that fit better than this.

Most LW jacket is oversized except their motorcycle jacket

Today, wearing a cheapo Cockpit tanker jacket (unlined). Kind of pissed; it looked like rain earlier today but has turned up clear. Would have worn something else lol. Clear days are becoming a novel commodity here in SoCal!

This one was bought used, although it is basically brand new.. i like the fit across the shoulders and chest.. the sleeves look longer in the pictures than they feel.. I left the cuff snaps undone in the pics which when done bring the length up a bit.
Ive been wearing it the last few days since receiving it, Ill give it some time before deciding what to do., I'll keep my eyes out for a 46 tho.

Not always and not everyone has this opportunity.
