Aero 1930’s Halfbelt Black CXL FQHH sz. 40” STF

As much as I LOVE this jacket, the truth is that it’s one size too small. I knew it would be when I bought it. I had it on eBay but took it down... I can definitely wear it, but it’s a t-shirt/ worn open only affair. I knew this jacket wasn’t going to stay the minute I received my vintage Hercules HB.

This jacket, I believe, is Insurrection Vintage’s (now Thurston Bro’s) garden variety 30’s HB. Notable differences are the throat latch, heavy canvas pocket bags and the corduroy hem guard. Black cotton drill liner. It’s also cut very trim in the sleeves, please note the chest zip pull, I added a bit of character there by way of a sterling silver axe.

I believe back in the day these sleeves were referred to as “ Japanese sleeves” as they were cut that way for that market. It came to me in nearly new condition and I’ve worn it sporadically around the house and out maybe twice. the cut is very aggressive with regard to the waist taper and front drop.

Measurements:
22.5” p2p
Shoulders: 18.5”
Back length: 25”
Hem: 20.5”
Sleeve length ( straight down): 26.5”

$500 (what I paid) OBO shipped conus, Canada or overseas I will do at cost but I’m reluctant as postal nightmares abound these days and the last jacket I shipped to Europe took 2 months to arrive.

Instant wearing as usual turns into instant sale) And as usual - with an excellent jacket! Ton, I like your kind habits in this hobby and am waiting for you to get involved into Thedi natural washed tan, may it be time to switch from Aero to Thedi for you mate? Let’s open new page of this hobby!)
P.S. Am sure this nice HB will be sold fast, GLWYS Ton!

It's a nice looking jacket with some unique details. I would snatch it up, but I have a 42 aero with similar measurements that is a little to snug. I'm 6'1" 205, so I'll watch you for size comparisons.

It would likely fit you the same way it fits me. It’s snug. I can wear it but I have a stack of work for Dena I need to fund and this one won’t see the wear to justify keeping it.

i know of a very nice "44" that would fit you well...pretty much identical features, etc.
