New Half Belt from Aero

[Sillyrib]

length is correct arms are fine but will tend to bunch up with use and you will lose another inch or so

I am 5"11. The color is cordovan.

As others have said, the 30's halfbelt is a short style so in that regard the length is right for the period - nice even color hide too.

Jacket length is a personal thing though - the big question is, are you comfortable with it?

Looks good IMO!

Vintage halfbelts are generally 1" shorter on the back length than on the sleeve length. You're used to a longer back length because modern jackets are longer in the back. It looks just right to me. Also, vintage trousers were worn higher than your jeans are sitting. Wear it a while and let the leather relax and I think you'll be very happy with your purchase. It fits properly. Enjoy it.

So do most people agree that the sleeves wrinkle up over time and shorten by 1"?

Yes

The jacket looks nice to me.

Do you mind answering a fit question for me? I recently sent my measurements to Aero and they suggested a jacket that is one size larger than I would usually wear. It was also a 30s slim fit half-belt. Does this sound wright to you?

Thanks for your help.

It's a markedly tighter jacket than almost any other Aero. Mine has four inches or so less in the waist than my Highwayman, both same label size.
