Whenever I think that, I put on a cross zip. And I no longer think that.

How heavy are FCL HH jackets? Are they more akin to Aero FQHH or Vicenza HH weight? They always look so damn nice. Great example there.

Don't know, never held one but @ksozay says they're really heavy, 3 - 3.5 oz. He has compared them to the Vanson, actually, except that the hide they're made of is softer and of a higher quality. They look heavier than Shinki or Vicenza, in any case.

Thanks. Exactly what I was wondering. They look stunning in pictures.

When I have Carrie order my Highwayman I’m going to show her your pictures and tell her “this is the fit I want.”

I’m a size 40 chest, can I ask how tall you are?

6'1" 185 Lbs. I usually wear 26-26 1/4 " sleeve with 26-26 1/2 body length with a custom made leather jacket. The sleeve on my Highwayman is 26" and body length is 25". Body length of 25" on me is borderline for my tastes but wearable.

Keep in mind that this Highwayman was made 18 years ago and they were true to size. Some say the ones made now are oversized ( although Aero seems to deny it ) and dropping down in size is the way to go for some.

The body length looks spot on to me, you’re taller than me (5’10) so that jacket wouldn’t have that tailored look on me as it does on you.

Great info, thanks!
