    Need Advice On Measuring For Highwayman

    Hi, Peacoat, thanks for your thoughts. It is weird you had the opposite experience. it seems the best approach is really to decide how much extra space one needs over the actual bodily dimensions and give that data to Aero. I wonder how your Highwayman looks when you have it on (you can see...

    Need Advice On Measuring For Highwayman

    Sorry, my English again, if I am in a hurry I make stupid mistakes... No, it is not Frankenstein's creature I sold the jacket – the guy is two inches taller than me. Thanks for your thoughts, Nightandthecity, they will be very useful since I decided that after the Cafe Racer – as soon as I...

    Need Advice On Measuring For Highwayman

    Hi, thanks for the detailed thoughts. After a long discussion with Mark Moye we decided the Highwayman cut is not the one I am after. Meanwhile I sold the jacket on eBay. As a justification of my being unhappy with the size the guy who bought the jacket was very happy with the fit - he is 2 feet...

    Need Advice On Measuring For Highwayman

    sorry, it is 5 foot 8. Well, the jacket I first received from Aero was more then comfortably baggy, 8-9 inches play in the chest is rather much. http://s253.photobucket.com/albums/hh43/macibandi/ The problem is I have no jacket in similar cut, just real bikers' jackets which are meant to be...

    how much play in the cut ? Hi, I am 5 foot 8, 40 chest, 32 waist in jeans. After sending in the requested body measures I received a jacket from Aero what they called a 'regular 40`. It turned out to be looser and larger then necessary in each of it`s dimensions, that is 9 inches play in...

    How to provide the right dimensions when ordering from Aero?

    Hi all, I am to re-order a Highwayman from Aero as the one they first provided was much too large in all it`s measures.

    Highwayman arrived - urgent opinion needed

    Well, Rufus, I have lost 120 bucks anyway (re-shipping from Hungary). If I will not loose more than that on eBay, and spare the negotiation with Aero, that would probably be the best outcome. Mark is ready to help, but I am a bit pessimistic.

    Highwayman arrived - urgent opinion needed

    thanks for the opinions Thanks, guys, you seem to be on the same point of view. Yes, I too feel chest and waist size is the problem. I like extra sleeve length, I am used to it as I ride a motorcycle. What makes the discomfort is the jacket's feeling sort of baggy. It makes me look like a...

    Highwayman arrived - urgent opinion needed

    Hi all, and thanks for the opinions, I am greatful and somewhat relieved you confirm what I suspected. Most of the year I am an everyday MC rider, but I am using proper jackets with protectors for that purpose. The Highwayman had been a long time object of desire for me as casual wear. Since you...

    Highwayman arrived - urgent opinion needed

    Hi all, finally my FQHH zip sleeve Highwayman (500th jubilee piece Mark has sold on eBay, with special features) arrived. It is beautiful, but to my dismay I found it way too large. I wrote to Mark and sent him pics. He said the jacket was fine, it was not meant to be a tight fit. I still...

    Vanson Horsehide

    thanks for the info sorry, Working Man, I was away for a while. Thanks for the useful insight! It seems ordering an Enfield from here is quite a challenge so I postpone it for a while.

    Vanson Horsehide

    Enfield fit Thanks again, Working Man, now for the pics, the jacket certainly looks nice on your build. You may well be right size 42 is too large for my height. The problem is that I live in Hungary, Central Europe – Vanson is absolutely not available here, and the Enfield is much too...

    Vanson Horsehide

    shoulder width of Enfield Hi Working Man, and thanks for the reply. You helped a lot, revealing the fact that due to my 19.5-20 inch shoulder width I will need at least a size 42 of the Enfield – even if I am a size 40 otherwise. Enjoy your Enfield, it must really be a wonderful jacket! (P.S...
