This old thing again today

Awesome jacket & everything but I wanted to say, you look very authentic here. Genuine. Turned B&W, I would've been convinced this photo was taken in the 50's. I can't explain it but this is the vibe I love the most about old photos and one that's entirely elusive to me.

Harro is perfect! Could do with a bit more cm in the sleeves but man, what a jacket that is. I'm always surprised how beautifully designed & executed it is. I'm glad you like it!

Wow, thanks! It’s funny though, both these jackets I would probably never have bought without your recommendations and they both turned out great!
I mean, the Harro, you weren’t even exaggerating about the quality. What you get with Harro is a seriously awesome jacket, and for next to nothing. But I’m telling you all, if this one was priced 10-20 times higher, it would still be worth that price. But on the other hand if it was, I would probably be more bothered by the short sleeves. Ehh, I’ll just call it a rockstar fit and be happy with that. I love the design as well, it’s got a sort of futuristic spaceship pilot vive going on that I really like.

Aero HB but I think it's too long in the front. Doubtful it will crease up / shorten enough. Ideally 1" less in front. What do you guys think???

I agree, the body does look a bit long.

Looks nice and trim in the body and yes maybe just a little bit on the long side. I think it's a look in itself and will work well especially if you don't tuck your shirt. How does the back look?

If it were a '30's HB (with front drop designed in) I would say it's spot-on. It appears not to be however so perhaps yes a tad long. Workable, but maybe not ideal?

IMO Too Long ..

Outside of our "perfect leather jacket microsphere" most people would probably call it as a perfect fit. For me personally it would be OK as I do have also short (perfect fit) and a bit too long half belts. For me personally it looks good even if other members are right if you are looking for a historically right fit

 

[dudewuttheheck]

@jpk_NJ honestly it looks even more than 1" too long.

BACK to work. Better wear some armor.

Appreciate the feedback guys. The tricky part is that it looks great untucked/unzipped, and the back length is perfect. I've never owned a drop front hem where the front is longer than the back, so maybe that's throwing me off? It's also not fully broken in/molded to me. I really like everything else about it which is why Im hesitant to let it go. Kind of becoming a jacket hoarder!

@Superfluous had a “beak” shortened successfully.
...but let’s see the back first.

i love this jacket. perfect for spring. Soak up a little bit sunshine after work.

One more attempt, I think ideally I’d want the lower front panel about half of what it is now. But for $525, is it worth keeping?? Definitely wouldn’t keep if $1k new.

Honestly that is 3-4 inches too long in my opinion.

for my taste the jacket is at least one size too big and clearly too long. for the price I wouldn’t keep it. actually for no price.
but i am not a standard because i prefer tight. and tastes are different.

To me, it looks a bit big overall not just in length.
