Won’t trade it for pure gold …

Hello Johannes, Excellent fit!
What is the label size of the jacket? Just interested as I think I'm roughly similar build as you.

Thanks, George

Hi George!

Tag size is 38 (shoulder then is 19", pit2pit is 23"), customized with longer back length and longer sleeves.

Back length: 27"
Arms: 27"

I am 184 cm / 72.5”, 74 kg / 163 pounds

Kind regards,

Johannes

That's a great fitting Highwayman. The extra length helps take away the 'boxiness' of the cut. Make sure you update at the 1 year mark and beyond.

I second that! Great cut.

And please stop smiling in public for no particular reason. You might give foreign folks wrong ideas about Europe.

Except if you happen to live exactly in that spot. Guess where I live

I glaub, du bist a Münchner

Aber dein "Na Servas" könnte auch weiter östlich angesiedelt sein.

My Aero 1950’s Flight Jacket in Black FQHH (customized - without the patch pockets and only with side entry pockets).

Kind regards,

Johannes

Hello!

From the beginning I thought that this jacket is a little bit too roomy in the chest for me. But fascinated by the fine Front Quarter Horsehide, its smell and the perfect making and because of the fact that I didn’t wear it very often (because of the warm weather period) I actually didn’t realize it.

To make it short: This jacket is for sale now !

And before I offer it at ebay’s I’d like to make a pre-offer right here at the Fedora Lounge.

If you like your jacket more comfortable in the chest or if you are not as slim as I am in the chest (my chest measures 96 cm / 37.8”, with half-breath) you will get a really perfect jacket.

Got it six months ago and worn for about 15 times, not broken in yet, of course without scuffs, scratches or markings! You should know that I “pamper” my jackets and most of the six months since I got it I had it stored well in a cupboard of our non-smoker household.

The exact measures are (tag size 38):

Shoulder: 47 cm / 18.5” (regular measure)

Arm (shoulder seam to end of knit cuff): 69 cm / 27” (customized)

Back length: 68 cm / 26.7” (customized)

Chest / pit2pit: 60 / 23.7” (regular measure)

The jacket offered is an Aero Leather 1950’s Flight Jacket, but without the patch pockets, only with the side entry pockets (same style as the “Happy Days”).

Leather: Aero Standard Black Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide.

Lining is the fine black cotton drill.

Zipper: Aero antique brass zipper.

Inside pocket on the right side (vertical opening, the “gun”-style). Depth of this
inside pocket is about 7”.

There is a name tag sewn in the lining, which will of course be taken out with the stitching holes nearly invisible.

More than 25% off!
