    Custom Aero CR too big in arms?

    My custom brand new cafe racer from Aero just arrived. it looks great from the front, but the arms are massive near the shoulder. I don't think this is because of the gussets. I have other leather jackets with gussets where the arm hole stay fitted, without losing mobility. This was $1,400...

    Downsize for aero cafe racer?

    Hello! Aero has recommended that I downsize the chest measurement by 2 inches for their cafe racer, but not their board racer. I have a 41.5” relaxed chest, so I suggested 42” but they are suggesting 40” for the cafe racer. It would be great to hear your thoughts if you own this style. Thanks!

    Thoughts on the Aero midweight 'Soft Grainy Steerhide'?

    Yes, good point. I did ask, they said for an extra fee they could look for a thinner hide, but it's not guaranteed. When you purchased your CXSH, was it advertised as 4 oz 1.7mm? It sounds like the properties may have changed through time.

    Thoughts on the Aero midweight 'Soft Grainy Steerhide'?

    Hi, I'm looking to purchase a cafe or board racer from Aero in black, custom size. I'd prefer a steerhide or goatskin. I am not currently interested in a horse leather. I love how the steerhide chromexcel CXSH looks, and it sounds like it breaks in well, but the current 4oz 1.7mm is too heavy...
