My new Wayfarer Tumbled Cordovan - fit pics

[markforce]

Clumsy as they are, here's a few in gray daylight. What do you think, length, sleeves, overall fit?
Thanks,
Mark

I'd say it's spot on. Looks great, the cordovan really is classic!

Is this your first custom jacket? It is rare to achieve such a good fit on the first try. You done really good!

looks pretty good from here. When it's right and you put it on, you know. Do you know? Or is there a doubt lurking at the back of your mind?

As good as it can get. Excellent jacket!

Looks fantastic. Sleeves and length spot-on, and a great colour as well - Aero's current cordovan is one of the nicest versions I've seen in ages.

Current black FQHH is also the finest I've seen as of yet.

For a split second, when I first put it on out of the box, I thought it might be a hair too tight around the waist zipped up. I need to shed a pound or two there either way. Worn it twice outside now and do know it is right.

Thanks -- your Cafe Racer pics were a 'benchmark' in terms of colour though yours seemed a tad darker if I remember correctly?

Thank you -- my first purchase was a black FQHH barnstormer without the belt/loops 2 years ago. Admit I was a bit on guard ordering the slim fit Wayfarer now although this is the look I was after to complement the bigger jacket.

That jacket is a "good look." I predict you will wear it much.

Looks great and a perfect result on your first attempt.

 

[handymike]

Very nice! The fit looks great.
Is this a "premier" pattern? the collar might use some "shaping" the TFL way. ;-)
But that's just me.
Well done!

Really a nice model and great fit. I'm actually pretty jealous.

Looks like your kind of jacket , Nick.

You were correct in your usage. The cited reference is not complete in listed definitions for this particular term. I might have been a real little kid, but I remember some of the slang used in the 60's by the full grown adults: you know, 15 year old's!
