Thanks all for the kind remarks. Yes, mustard lining. It's funny to see a thread where MY sleeves are considered longI'll post more pics when I think they've done their thing. I'm so paranoid about short sleeves that I'd rather them be long. I could ride downtown with this one on - and driving is so much better without them climbing to my forearms. If my other plan gets into gear, lifting weights again should give me back some shoulders, and with that, the sleeves would look better I think.
This jacket looks amazing. Perfect style, perfect color, perfect fit. Personally I think the sleeves are looking good. I like them a little long on myself. Were you getting jackets that fit that well right from the beginning, or have you perfected your sizing purchases as time has gone on?
A few years of searching...nothing is perfect, some come close. I've flipped more than I own in the search. I think it's true for many here. If you have a body that's "normal" it might be easier. Many of us don't fall under that label. I've always had a hard time with sleeves and body length. When I was in better shape, I had a larger neck (18.5") too that added grief for dress shirts. Now I'm pretty easy to get shirts for with many makers. Jackets are tough though. Every maker and style has a different cut and look. What looks good on a website or in a catalog may not look good on you. You get used to it, but it's a drag to anticipate a new jacket only to have it look less than you'd hoped for. I guess it's part of the fun - had I found one perfect jacket, I'd not have all this fun here - and it sure is fun!
One other point - I'll take some side-by-side pics of my Aero Bronco in seal Capeskin and this one. The new '42 is much darker. I'm glad actually because they're not as alike as I thought they might be...

Sweet overall look man.
The jacket fits you very good, wierd, because I thought the black rocker jacker was you
Its a compliment to the good fit and beautiful jacket.
Scott,
That's a beauty! And it fits very nicely. That color is just right.

Hi Scott, very nice jacket and the fit is spot on too. The "new slimmer you" suits you very good. You look fit, healthy and in good shape! I totally agree with what you said about sleeve length. Better too long than too short! Enjoy your new jacket!
PS: This time the belt fits!
Thanks,
Jan
