    Old Highwayman seeks new owner - size 40- SOLD!!!

    I've decided to sell on this fantastic old Aero Highwayman as it's just not getting enough of my attention. Why? Well, i've got several other Aero jackets (yes, i'm one of those crazy 'Aerophiles') which still need lots of breaking in plus I think it's about an inch too short in the sleeves if i'm being picky. In fact, although it's labeled size 40 I think the sleeve and back length are more 38 so, please read the measurements carefully.

    I bought it off eBay about 18 months ago and sent it straight up to Aero who fitted a new lining, cuffs and zips as well as an inside pocket.

    It has beautiful patina - if this jacket could talk i'm sure it would have a few gnarly tales. One of the hand warmer pocket bags has a big hole in it, would be an easy repair.

    Price: £200 plus postage

    Measurements are:
    Chest layed flat - 22 3/4 inches
    Across shoulders - 19 inches
    Back length - 24 inches
    Sleeve length - 24 1/4 inches

    Here is a thread discussing the jacket from last year:

    This should go quick to someone of shorter stature!
    Great wear on a black jacket!

    Geez Jake..................sorry to see you're going to part ways with that fabulous jacket. I know that Highwayman was a scource of pride for you; as well it should be.

    Reconsider my friend.

    It's one of those things guys, I love looking at it but end up not wearing too much. I reckon this jackets adventures should continue, it doesn't deserve to be stuck in a wardrobe.
