You mean fit pictures thor?

Dave, I purchased some HUGE plastic hangers from Aerostitch..these things could be used for canoes! They are several inches wide, and are long enough to fit past the shoulder seams, so as to offer much support for even the heaviest of jackets. They feature a heavy steel hook, bolted thru a rubber grommet.
These hangers are designed with the intent of supporting very heavy garments without causing undue stress or damage.

Yes; the photo in post 255 looks very nice but a fit pic seems to be the one thing that brings "closure" and a happy ending to a thread

I will post fit photos as soon as I get back from Sydney.

Cheers,

Here's a fit pic. Not the best I know, but I hope it'll do.

You know that when you buy an Aero Happy Days, you have to post at least one phot of you doing the thumbs-up Fonzy 'Eeeyyyy', right? It's the law.

Congratulations. Looks like you've nailed the fit on the first try. You did well.

It is the most amazing leather jacket I have EVER seen! It is perfect. Exactly how I wanted it to be, and so 50s looking.

I cannot wait to receive it.

Very cool mate. Do they much of a selection at Pickings and Parry? I'm in Canberra, but I try to get to Melbourne at least once a year? It would be handy to actually sight these things in real life and see some of the different leathers in the flesh.

lol, until I actually start trying to post photos, I never realised how tricky it can be to do by yourself.

I agree!

Are these ok - it's the best I can do by myself!

Hi Bunyip.

Thanks for the compliments. And yep, Chris had a pretty good selection at Pickings & Parry whenever I've been there, and he has samples of all the Aero leathers and wool knits.

If you're in Melbourne and want to see my jacket and try it on, just let me know.

Dave, you've fulfilled your obligation to us.

However, that jacket eventually deserves a HQ photo shoot in some good lighting, because it's just so good looking, and that model doesn't have a lot of good photos on the web. That's the obligation to the jacket. If it was a Highwayman or 30s Half Belt we'd let it slide. But nope, it's a rarity to be seen here. You did this to yourself.

lol

 

[Bunyip]

Cheers Dave, Im actually waiting on a jacket myself. It's a couple of weeks away. Looking forward to it. Next time I'm in melbourne I will definitely check those guys out.

Thanks Nick. And phew, that's a relief!

I'm glad I have fulfilled my obligations, because ALL of you guys were a great help. Without this forum and your advice (all 29 pages), I would never have been able to make a purchase - I just wouldn't have felt comfortable enough deciding on which jacket, which leather and knit selection, nor on my measurements. And even though it was still a stressful process for me (and you guys too, having to put up with me), it was worth it. I think I did get my first Aero right, and I hope you guys agree.

Thanks again guys.

Dave

Enjoy your jacket. Those 29 pages were worth it.
