Back in November I promised to post fit photos on this thread after I received the custom standard Highwayman I decided on with the help of Carrie and this TFL crew. It took almost six months to get it, first because of Horween FQHH supply issues, apparently, and second because apparently Aero...

Bought this killer Vanson on the Classifieds last November. I absolutely love it but my wife doesn't so I'm giving it up. It's in the exact same condition it was in when I bought it and I'm looking to get back what I paid. Photos, measurements, etc. on the original thread...

Here's a minor mystery that I'm sure some of you will be able to enlighten me about. If good used Aeros are easy to come by, and they go for less than half the price of new Aeros, why am I not seeing standard or premier Highwaymen in normal large sizes offered here or on eBay at almost any...

Thanks, jpk_NJ. What a jacket! And it fits.

Your Thedi and nickv's are both fabulous. (But of course you look great in everything.) Perhaps I should have gone with Thedi from the start, but as I mentioned in my original post I have an emotional connection to Scotland. Plus as I mentioned I was a clothing retailer for years and I have...

Thanks for that, and thanks again to all of you who have been helping me. I will definitely post fit photos when I get the jacket.

Thanks, fantastic, will discuss with Carrie.

You're right, in the 40 HWM photos I have it cinched in at the buckles. And as you and others have pointed out, that had the opposite effect of the one I was going for. I didn't know what I was doing. As for the 38 HWM, I've got a couple of inches of height and a few pounds on you, so it's...

Regarding the 38 HWM, after Carrie and company saw my 44 PHWM fit jacket photos, Carrie told me they couldn't decide whether to send me a 38 or a 40 HWM fit jacket. I chose to get the 40. Maybe it's slightly big on top, but as you say, that's arguably better than slightly too small. And this...

Both of those look great.

Yes, for that reason I've looked at various Aero Half Belts. I'm an older guy who isn't a motorcyclist or a rock star and I like the HWM/PHWM because they're in between multi-zip motorcycle jackets (which Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood can wear but I shouldn't) and the classic 30's and 50's half...

I trust your eye and experience. Maybe my second jacket will be a well-broken-in 44 PHWM in a lighter leather, if one of this group is ever selling one.

Ok, thanks, side panels. Carrie suggested last night that based on the photos and my pinching report on the 40 Highwayman, they should make the side panels narrower by one inch.

Thanks. It's completely counter-intuitive to choose the style with the inferior-looking fit. But I guess that's what I'm in the process of doing.

Yes, that might work for well for fit, but with lighter hides, I didn't like the Vicenza in my fit jacket, and judging from photos I don't like the shine of some of the others. Plus the shiny ones apparently squeak. I much preferred the Brown FQHH in the other fit jacket. The leather look I'm...
