Never heard anyone describe light as "brutal" before

My first ever Aero. This is the sun glare induced Mystery Patina HH jacket that had me fooled previously. I find the Long Shoreman an interesting mash up of a few different designs; like if a Highwayman and a G1 had a lovechild together.
The thickness of this leather and the graining are a feast for my eyes and hands. Still getting use to the roomier fit but I'm starting to understand the roominess was likely a previously well thought out design that would allow for good mobility. I'm always impressed with the subtle complexity of designs from the past.

Was quite the treat to spend the last couple days wearing this one to work and back. Likely it for the season as temps are set to hit 70’s and 80’s end of this week and in to next. Might be my favorite Vanson ever. Fits like a dream, grain beast and funky weird design. The saggy breasted model F, nipple tassels and all.

I’ve included a couple thumbnails just for you @Will Zach

I will never unsee the "nipple tassles", but really cool jacket all the same.

They line up perfectly. A little longer and a bit of swing and I could legit take the show to Vegas.

That jacket does fit ridiculously well, but I feel that's true of a lot of your jackets. What puts this one over the top is the design. It looks kind of 70s, kind of classic straight zip, and kind motorcycle-esque.

I love the weirdness. It’s so painfully 70’s. I have a real hankering for Ibex or lesser valued East West knock off and this one almost fills that void. But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Just wait till you get into your fifties; managing your ever sagging "junk silhouette" becomes a nuisance and part time occupation. Right up there with overnight ear hair growth and unregulated flatulence in close quarters with others

I hear you . You can add waking up sore in the morning and all you did was sleep.

First high-end leather jacket purchase going with a Real McCoy's single rider they made for The Armoury.

Sleeves could be a hair shorter (though they might shrink up a tad with wear) but I think it's the exact fit I'm looking for at the moment. Looks solid on its own but enough room for me to layer a sweater or flannel underneath when it gets chillier out.

Feel like I can't help but think about that 'second skin' notion and wonder if as it wears in/as I lose a few LBs as needed if it'll feel too large but I don't think so...I hold most of the weight in my stomach and it seems like erring on the larger side than smaller side for clothes has always been the better decision.

Looks great! I certainly don’t think a size down would be a good idea. As it stands, it fits very well and losing a few lbs won’t hurt the fit at all.

Lol, I bet @Flem would be very supportive of your decision in that career choice

IMHO this shade of brown works best on this style of Single Riders jacket. Looks like a million bucks. Did you have to size up for this TFH jacket?

To me, this is the perfect amount of 70s. It's just enough to make it unique and stand out among our mostly 30s-50s style jackets, but not so much that it looks too much like anything too 'disco'

i think the sleeve length is fine. shoulder nice fit too. If anything, it might be a bit short? If you lose the lbs you mentioned, the length might work itself out
