Thanks for the helpful responses. I think I'll go with a 1930's pattern halfbelt and then also a Bootlegger. Will discuss with Aero on best sizing / what stock P2P measurements are.

Hi all - thank you so much for all the help on the Aero fit (I've found @Canuck Panda to be especially helpful with the incredibly detailed responses... I totally agree on the neck thing being one defining aspect of fit). In lieu of starting yet another thread for Aero fit advice, I thought I...

Bump - $1500.

Bump.

Super cool jacket for an awesome but relatively unknown group of great Americans.

Thanks for all the responses and discussion, all. A few follow-up photos here. In t-shirt, just to get a sense of my build - note heavily sloped shoulders (not sure if super clear here, as maybe I'm subconciously attempting to straighten them for the photo, but I have the most sloped shoulders...

I don't at all disagree. The difference could be stylistic or down to individual opinions though. My perception of Himel is that he thinks longer jackets look better - hence the patterns being longer than "standard" for the style. I don't. That's what I meant by clarifying and spending...

I think the whole ordering process might now be a lot better than what you went through with Reilly around. I found her really good and detail-oriented.

I did not say that Himel screwed up at all. I was unhappy with how the length initially turned out. I didn't expect the pattern would be so long for a jacket of this style. But nor did they communicate this to me. I'm not sure why I would know the proportions of the pattern normally...

Thanks - it looks good in the pictures but unfortunately too tight in the chest and shoulders even with nothing on but a t-shirt. I considered keeping it and living with it but in the end I just need a 42.

I did not give desired jacket measurements, as I first wanted to see what he could do naturally / with the pattern. It helps that I tried on another Himel jacket (non-leather though) with similar pattern before at Clutch Cafe in London so I knew kind of what I was getting into. I did not...

Uh, no - that's not what you should have gotten from this at all. More that the fit was totally perfect where it matters most (chest and shoulders), if the jacket was just two inches shorter in the body which they promptly addressed for me. The longer jacket is just their style / pattern as...

Thanks - trousers from Pommella Napoli, material is Fox Bros tweed.

Thanks all, I'll put up some more pics straight on and of back when I get a chance. Will contrast with my RMCs as well.
