Not exactly wearing now 32c in Madrid but one of my fav jackets to wear, not totally authentic as it has front seams but it's a vintage style A1 made in Germany, nice leather and colour, 12th aero patch is mine, nice fitted size too, comes to the true waist

Finally got one that fits. A touch big in chest but length was always the main issue. Horrible pic. I'll post better in Cal thread.

What…did…I…miss? There better be something seriously wrong with it or I will be very put out. Lol. I look forward to Cals making others happy.

Edit: I just saw your pics. Amazing bro. So effin nice. That is a new one. I think only the second very recent Cal posted here. How is it? Does it compare favorably to the Leatherman version and the true vintage ones. Man, you absolutely got one over on me. Where did you find it?

Edit 2: I’m literally yelling “avenge me” at the sky lol. BTW, I can send you a Sam Browne belt. I’ll send you some pics of different options. I gots loads of them.

Too tight on me, but the patina is ridiculous. Beautiful.

Hi Jimmy - there is also a dedicated FL Outerwear thread on the Aero J106 aka Ridley aka Slim MC jacket that you might find useful, as there are quite a few variants out there now as this model allows for lots of tinkering with the base model, from the great D-pocket classic of Mr Proper to various others with different layouts closer to the Bootlegger, Hooch Hauler etc. that blend moto and aviator elements. It is by far my favourite Aero model of all my jackets and I even have another in production (rust goat suede with a mouton collar) at the minute….

Excellent, thanks Salmosalar. I'm still finding my way with patterns, leathers and makers, so the guidance is much appreciated

Hi Jimmy - no problem at all, happy to help! I am still on the same journey myself but have picked up a fair bit of experience with various Aero models and sizing along the way now, so if that is of use to others on FL so much the better. The patterns make a lot of difference and some work better than others for different folks - for instance, the Cafe Racer doesnt quite work so well for me, and the 1930s cuts are generally better for me than the more boxy 50s versions, but the Slim MC jackets I have are right on the money fit-wise. I experimented first with used versions, some of which I passed on, and then once I had it dialled in focused on custom orders to get exactly what I was after and Aero have been excellent in that regard. If you are buying SH or from their stock items it is key to rely on the actual measurements rather than the stated sizing, as the latter often seems to bear little resemblance to what you might expect - I have stock jackets from 34 to 38 and others on FL have an even bigger range, so it is worth figuring out your own dimensions carefully asap and relying on them to guide you rather than what is given on the label. I would say that is even more true for Aero than other makers - even if you look at their stock offerings you will see a fair bit of variability within size ranges even for the same model….once you know your own measurements though it is much easier to hit the bullseye!
