agreed - thanks!
That two chest pocket version is AWESOME.
That coat is sharp. Looks like a perfect fit.
That jacket is just flat-out badass.....I think I'm just going to roll with the fit as is. Thanks for the perspective, I was definitely getting a bit lost in the weeds by over examining the fit. I know it's just a jacket but it's also like 10 x more than I've ever paid for a jacket. My wife has been really great juggling some finances to budget for this and I would be devastated if it comes out all jacked up. deep breaths
That was way cool of you to post these pics on my thread. It also solidified some of my decisions...that Cordovan FQHH is really top shelf. Also, since I plan on a thicker lining, I'm not sure the Premier will work for me (helluva nice jacket thought). Thanks for sharing - JASON
Ain't that the truth!!!
Are you going with CXL cordovan for the hide?
Definitely. I know I'll be giving up some comfort, suppleness, & flexibility but its worth it to me to gain in durability and ruggedness. I'm freakishly tough on clothes and run through a Carhartt Sandstone jacket about every 4 years. I expect to rub some people here the wrong way but I fully intend to test the premise of these designs: that they are based on working man jackets of 80 years ago (I actually really really liked the Longshoremen jacket as it closely matches my Carhartt but the wife nixed it)
You won't be disappointed in the CXL cordovan. In my opinion it's the nicest hide you can get from Aero. I've got a one year old bootlegger in Cordo steer and the depth of color and patina it's developed even in that short time is quite amazing. I also think you'll notice a little neater feeling in terms of fit due to the initial stiffness and rigid nature of CXL. Can't wait to see your finished jacket. Savor the next few weeks of waiting!
Sorry: that looks the absolute bomb. Perfect fit, amazing
