OK fellas, apologies about last night. I know the jacket is short, hence the thread title, i wanted to gauge some reactions on just how short and the consensus appears to be that it is indeed too short. I already knew that already if i'm honest. Your thoughts are indeed appreciated and thanks...
Incidently, the jacket pictured was cut for a 25.5" back length, an inch and three quarters longer than it ended up after breaking. A standard size 38 will already be longer in the back and sides, by just over an inch, as i mentioned numerous times. I'm 30 years old BTW.
I don't care, just want to delete my thread, take my toys and leave. It wasn't thwe advise, it was the stuffy and condescending manner in which some of them were delivered which have made me realise we'll never get along.
BTW, my arms always look like they're dangling, i have a 6'4" wingspan...
I wear my highwayman shorter than that, 25", and i'm 6'2", it needs to be that short in order to function properly. I don't know about your jacket but most highwayman could stand to have a few inches lopped of the bottom to fit their wearers properly. On that jacket you should be able to zip it...
50s i'd guess.
It's a fantastic jacket, if you plan to sell it i'd be very interested in buying it.
The condition looks great, have you fed it with something or was it that shiny when you got it?
I'm kind of collecting photos and ideas for my next Aero at the moment, i'm going to visit the factory when they get back, next week sometime hopefully. Luckily it's only around an hours drive from me, so it makes sense to go and get fitted up and pick the leather.
This is a great place to...
These aren't mine, so i don't know how much wear they've had. They look nice though. The steerhide highwayman looks nice, i always prefer the highwayman in steerhide for some reason.
