We're in love with the Blue Vicenza for Summer...the medium weight of the Vicenza makes it a great temperate weather jacket and the blue hails right out of the SoCal 1960s! It's not too late to create your Summer jacket with our easy fit process--https://www.thurston-bros.com/pages/custom-aero

Absolutely...it looks quite good too!

Here are some photos of a customer's jacket...he added shoulder gussets to his custom Board Racer build to achieve a tad more mobility in the shoulders and upper back--

This is exactly something I would like! But BR doesn't have a mid panel, if I am not mistaken. The gussets extend all the way to the mid/side seam, right? Man, it's good to know that! Thanks, Carrie! I'll definitely have this in mind.

Correct...the Board Racer doesn't have side-panels, so the gussets on the Board Racer extend to the side seam of the jacket... :)

Hmmm ... this might be the answer to my CR vs BR conundrum! Carrie, what's your advice on Board Racer in this back configuration - mid seam or plain like this one? Also pros and cons of that kidney panel - looks only or serves specific purpose? Thank you!

We would recommend pairing the shoulder gussets with the J-100 back (straight yoke with no split seam or kidney panel) or with the kidney panel only (no split seam). The kidney panel doesn't have a function, so it's more about the look of the jacket!
