No worries. Thanks for getting back to me.

The shoulders sound really narrow for a size 46. I'm confused.

Nice jacket. Just a little too narrow across the shoulders. Good luck.

I'll jump in here with some pics of a custom jacket Mark made for me back in 2010. It was based on a 1941 Army field jacket, minus the buttons. I don't know where he sourced the hh, but, I've never seen anything like it before or since. It is an amazing jacket. Mark does outstanding work. Enjoy.

Thanks, Qristian and chollie: I could not find a model # for this jacket, either. But 'Board Racer' is another term for 'Cafe Racer', I think. If not, I will soon be corrected. But, in general it is a term for near-collarless jacket. Schott makes a variety of jackets along these lines; this is...

Jacket withdrawn. Thanks for looking. -- Jack

Oh, HD, words fail me. The pics say it all. Well done, you and Thedi, and Carrie.

Oh, yes. Our minds run on parallel tracks; the pockets, the buttons. I'll have to see it on you to decide on the color choice, but, man, does that guy build a sweet, sweet jacket. I'm looking forward to pics of you wearing it, HD.

Too late, HD, I've been to the well a couple of times. Soooo tempted, :eek:, but, really, the Bootlegger was it. I do miss all the posts here, and even if I'm not 'hunting' I can still enjoy the pursuits of others. I'll drop by more often, if only to see what you're up to, and how that Thedi...

Hello, HD! Yes, the jacket just sold. And, yes, it has been quite a while. My purchase of the Aero Bootlegger in seal Vicenza HH last winter was really the culmination of all my leather jacket searching. I'm down to a select half-dozen now. And, I retired from teaching a year and a half ago, so...

This is the fourth jacket Mark at NorShore made, a decade or so ago. The measurements are: Shoulder-to-shoulder: 20 1/4" Length, back: 24" Sleeve, shoulder-to-cuff: 24 1/2" Chest, front: 23" This pic was taken right after I purchased the jacket. I've added a few pounds overr the...

Nope, not a bit. Speaking only for myself, I have owned several Aero jackets. They are, were, superb, each one. Hides, workmanship, top notch. But, nearly all of them are gone, for one reason or another. I recently purchased a Vicenza dark seal Bootlegger off Aero's sale rack. Finally, a...

Yes! Very nice, indeed. The throat latch and cigarette pocket are terrific details. Well done.

I recently sold off an Aero Maxwell I thought would do forever…but, no. Too small in the shoulders, and when Celsius headed for the basement, I couldn’t wear even a light sweater under it. That has been the most persistent problem: trouble fitting the shoulders. Then, (as if you’d no idea where...

Beautiful jackets, Carlos. Just superb, top to bottom. Nice done, you and Aero. Thanks for the pics.
