That seems like big news, no neck-hang issue. Any idea why, or if this new pattern might be making it's way to other patterns?

Based on how your jackets usually fit, this may be the Hauler to end all Haulers. I'll be interested to hear what adjustments you make.

Nice but we want to see pics 'in the wild', on you to get a sense of real life fit, drape, etc.

One more vote for no, it's not asking for trouble, unless you act like you think you're Brando. But then the jacket's not the problem.

I love the look of my Hooch Hauler in CXL FQHH. As some others have mentioned, I don't love the feel of it, which is a combination of the pattern and the very hard and heavy leather. If I were buying another Aero I would look at their steerhide as Proper recommended, or their new Pinnacle which...

Looks great! Reminder please - CXLFQHH?

Great first review, been dying to hear about this leather. I know the 'Aero fit' neck issue some of us experience is tied to pattern, not material, but I'll be curious to hear if you find this softer leather makes it any easier to wear than your FQSH.

Or it may be a novel way to get a discount...

Congrats! You really nailed the fit. Hope it brings you much joy.

Thanks! Unfortunately all I have to go on is my Aero Hooch Hauler. But I'm already thinking of this as a learning experiment where I might develop a better sense of what a good fit is for me, rather than a guaranteed perfect jacket. I'm rolling the dice, but hoping that drawing on all the...

Thanks for the suggestions! Do you have any idea if it worked, or is it a bad idea as @Aloysius warned?

But if it fits his statuesque-ness well, I don't think it will fit my only-humanness well and I'll be in the same position I am now: with a jacket that sits on my neck rather than my shoulders. Which is a well-known Aero thing in general, but I'm hoping slightly slopier shoulders would help me out.

I think part of the trouble with my Aero Hooch Hauler is that my shoulders are more sloped than the pattern allows for. Does anyone think that if I gave 5* measurements that somehow included something about that, they'd be able to adjust accordingly? I'm thinking maybe a measurement of the...

It's the patience with newbies, and consistent efforts to help them/us learn that I've come to value most about this nice little corner of the interwebs. Thank you for making this a fun (occasionally spicy) learning place!

Really appreciate the experienced eyes and thoughts!
