Wow, wonderful jacket. Fit is perfect! Front, back, side, etc, all nicely done. From the look of the picture, I would have thought that it's Vicenza leather. If I have to nit pick, I'd prefer the sleeves a 1.5cm longer, but it's perfect as it is now. A keeper!

Cracking looking jacket; that's exactly hoew they should be. Length is good too. I believe all the originals were cut slightly longer than other jackets of the period, presumably from their racing pedigree (crouching over a bike makes the jacket ride up, needs to be longer to keep you covered).
IMO, the cafe racer style always looks best in this configuration - no handwarmers / 2 chest pockets.

It’s interesting, I was thinking something similar about the sleeve length too. Then I realised that they’re just fine. This style has the sleeves cut very slim. If I undo the zips, they fall another inch or so to just above my thumb. They’re only riding near the wrist due to the zips being done up. I guess this way it’s easy enough to regulate the length via the zips (open vs closed).

I think you’d be pleasantly surprised. I also have 2 Sheene’s at present & have sold another one on. This style is just such a different cut. There’s no need to add anything to the body to get a comfortable fit. And the final product is still slim fitting.
just size up & double check the other measurements (shoulder, p2p etc). I think you’d love it.

The requested measurements were;
Shoulder 19”
P2P 23”
Sleeve 26”
Back 27”
As for the leather specs, only Holly / Aero could really comment. It’s certainly their CXLFQHH product, just MUCH more fun to wear.
I really think it should be added as an option. Honestly, ready to wear right out of the box & so bloody comfortable. Now when was the last time someone said that about CXLFQHH?

What is the bottom hem measure across?
Sorry for all the separate questions.
Sorry for all the separate questions.
I suspect we are built along similar lines, more stick shaped than V shaped. I would likely request:
Shoulder 19”
P2P 23.5”
Sleeve 27.5”
Back 27”
