With your diverse collection of jackets (which all fit very well), I think this one probably will work it's way to the back of the closet. I would sell it.

Thanks for your feedback! Problem so
far is that there is none who is interested in buying it and TBH I rather would keep it than letting it go for let’s say 200-300€ as I paid over 500€ ($570) for it.
Yeah probably move it on as it's not your best fitting jacket. It will only take up space that your future Mulholland will slot into.
Thanks, man. I won’t get a Mulholland and I‘ve just decided to cancel my Thedi order (will get a wallet and belt instead). So, I do have space left and when looking on other members jackets the sleeves are pretty similar and they also wear them.
I kind of agree, too normal of a style to be that borderline short on body and sleeve. and the sleeve suggest you very rarely ever wear it.
Thank you! I actually really like the body length and the trimmer Body and sleeves (were always too baggy on my Highwaymans I sond in the past. When wearing a longsleeve I actually think that it looks ok but I may have a visual defect :D Thanks again

Might consider shooting Aero an email for a trade if you are considering something from their salespages or something new.

In my humble opinion I'd sell the Aero and keep the premium stuff. Wear them more. I don't think Aero compares to your other jackets.

As soon as I got the Sunset which fits me nice and the quality is great I stopped looking at other jackets until I found another Freewheelers like the Darius.

All my other jackets don't fit right for example or serve a different purposes(3/4 leather coats) but having such a high quality jacket makes me not desire others and want to wear it more.

I considered your Vanek one in black but again, I don't have time to wear everything!

I think I'm turning into @handymike , IIRC he only wears a couple.

We're too hang up on finding the next big thing instead of enjoying our current jackets.

can't tell you how tempted I am to buy this. Last thing I need as my 25th jacket is a shearling lined, living in Los Angeles, going into 100 degree + weather. LOL.

I can understand that. After having owned >100 leather jackets from practically every well-known manufacturer on the market today, I have to say that this Eastman B-6 jacket is an absolute highlight and it delights me every time I wear it. In addition, the 1/4" Sheepskin is perfect for practically any climate.

I think that is not possible for many here. I was looking for the holy grail jacket for years, but I never found it. Not that I've had very nice jackets. However, I had to realize that having lots and lots of beautiful jackets is addicting. There are enough examples of this in this forum. I also had to realize that I'm not the one-and-only jacket guy. Nevertheless, I have rigorously reduced my collection and today I am happy with the jackets I have ... until my next purchase.
