I bought this jacket used a few months ago. The combination of me messing up my shoulder measurement and the seller measuring pit to pit as seam to seam means that it's too big for me. Which is a shame, as it's a very nice jacket.

I wanted something similar to the Highwayman, but had problems with the back vs front length of the Aero HWM. Unlike the regular HWM, this has a slight front dip (meaning it won't ride over your belt even when the back length is good) and a sturdy two-way Talon zipper. It also fits a bit slimmer. That being said, I imagine this could fit a 40-42.

Horween lux is a midweight tea core veg tan hide. The jacket weighs around 6 lbs and is substantial, but it also feels soft and drapes beautifully. There are better pictures of Horween lux than I'm providing here, both on this forum and elsewhere. Regardless, it is a gorgeous hide...and it smells great.

I suspect my measurements are not perfect, so you get two pictures for each one: one showing how I measured and the other at the end of the band.
Measurements
Pit to pit 22.75
Back length from the bottom of the collar 24.75
Shoulder to shoulder 19.5
Shoulder to cuff 25.25

This cost $1200 new. I bought it for $600, not including shipping and customs (which add up to a lot from the US to Norway). I'd like to sell it for $500 + shipping. Anyway, pictures:

A question out to those who know S&S: the version on their website right now is made of Blattwerk HH. Has this jacket been made in several versions, with different hides?

Good question...I asked S&S the same thing (excuse the master level photoshop).

I think the Blattwerk version also has an action back. This doesn't.

For future reference, the front length is about 21.75-22 inches.

That being said, the jacket is now SOLD. Thanks TFL. I hope the new owner will be happy with it :)
