How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

[Bfd70]

Did you get the pants?

 

[Bfd70]

I got the CR today and unfortunately, it's too big although looking at the measurements should have been fine.

If it fits me like this now, I don't even want to think how it will be later on when the leather relaxes.

I like the length and how it sits around the waist but those sleeves are too wide for my taste, and the back also.

Is that a custom order?

Coolest set ever. Mint condition.

The pants fit, the jacket doesn't.

Best news is that I found the exact same jacket in size 42 (my size) and that it's now coming my way.

Wow, that is beautiful! Congrats on the find!

Yes, too much leather in the back. If you spec the CR without the expansion gussets, the back will have a shape like that. With the gussets it´s just too much. The rest is fine, IMO, but I don´t think the back will ever relax enough to look ok.

I think it will only look worse in time.

Who is the maker?

It's an Aero. It's a shame as I like how it looks from the front.

Is that a custom order?

No, it was from Aero trainee's tab. I probably will end up going custom with them as I cannot seem to find a good fit from their stock.

Heck ya! I love the Score/Shields CRs with the distinctive elbow patches. Like Brimaco, they can be had for good prices and in cool colors. Very cool.

I feel it's too large on the upper chest/shoulder area. This is why I don't like the kidney panels on Aero CR, there's the blousey effect on the small of your back.

A nice jacket. Length, sleeves, hem look very good. Unfortunately, shoulders and P2P seem a bit too big to me. I suspect with the gussets the shoulders have to be more on the narrow side.
Which dimensions were given and which dimensions are they actually?

Definitely too large in that area I wasn't expecting it to be that large as I've tried their CR size 40 and that was large...

I like the length and around the bottom, perfect. Sleeves are ok apart from the top side where they get too big for my taste and the back is just massive. The measurements were alright, I think p2p is actually bigger than it was on the website as it says 21.25" but looks over 22.

Going custom will in no way guarantee you a better fit than that. As I understand it Aero does not do custom sizing apart from sleeve and back lenght modifications to their standard patterns. You might do better with the Board racer pattern.

It would be interesting to know how Aero is measured. I have the impression that, especially with P2P, the actual dimensions are always larger than stated. If I look at the dimensions for a size 40 on the website, then almost all of them have a P2P around 22.25"- 22.5". On the other hand, on the Thurston website, almost all size 40s have a P2P of 23"

I agree with you on this one, the BR is a better fit for me. Or maybe a combination of these two

I have a feeling that might be the case, but not sure that applies to all of their products. Like the BR I had - that had the correct p2p measurement. I almost ordered another BR but then I realised the jacket was a bit too tight around the chest and again.

Thurston Bros pull on their measurements. Aero must be more of a flat measurement. So, IOW, Thurston Bros is sort of the max setting or maybe look at it as the measurement once you get a good break in, especially with CXL.

Given it's trainee jacket, I wouldn't be surprised if the back was not executed properly. Something seems way off there. Jacket looks almost perfect from the front and the gussets should allow for a tighter fit if anything.

For a 38 seems too big at the back indeed. I also think the front is not as disproportionate. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit me so I have to return it.

@Riu The front looks quite nice for my personal taste (sleeves, chest, shoulders waist) but on the back is too much leather as others already said. If I was you I would go for a size 40 BR and you will be happy!

That's what probably I'm going to do as I don't think I will be happy with this pattern anyway, I like the overall fit on the Br better. Thank you for your help and advice with this!

This on its' way from ebay.

With the valuable help by @ton312 and @Boyo and IH Germany, I've just decided to order my first Iron Heart Type III denim trucker jacket. I've just bought IH-526J-22OD in size M and I hope it fits me and that the 22oz Indigo overdyed black selvedge denim is not too mighty/heavy for me

The pants fit, the jacket doesn't.

Best news is that I found the exact same jacket in size 42 (my size) and that it's now coming my way.
