Got this LW J23 from Buyee Japan. Considering it is complete with removable collar and belt, the price was surprisingly reasonable, even including shipment, taxes and customs. At first I was hesitant, fearing it might be too big , but the announced measurements were off. In fact, the actual figures are almost ideal. It fits snug because of the thick quilted lining. An extra inch in the shoulders would've been more comfortable, although in real life, i.e on the bike, it feels perfect.

This just arrived yesterday. This jacket from Aero was never on my radar under recently even though I have been wanting a center zip halfbelt with bottom “hem” for a while. I saw it in Thurston Bros and decided to give it a shot as it had design elements I wanted, a leather I wanted to try, and the fit numbers looked pretty close.

Here are some rushed pics as it’s too hot to take my time or wear a button down shirt as would be preferred with this jacket.

Because it’s a bit longer than I normally wear and I have a healthy set of hips and butt, the bottom width is a bit tight here at first, but it’s stretching and loosening up to fit wider.

I have to say that Bainbridge is pretty awesome so far. EXTREMELY supple and soft. Almost as soft and pliable as my lambskin Indy jackets. I really like how it feels and drapes and it’s only getting better.

Aero Original Hercules in Dark Maple Bainbridge, size 40.
