True - but Brando had 10-15 lbs less than me
Actually the straight down the zipper from the base of the collar dimension is only 21" on this jacket. I have found 22 - 23" to be idea for my body shape and torso length.
Ouch, that's one short jacket. But it is a bit short, yep. You had nicer ones in any case, just that I don't think it's a horrible fit. Still much better than the Kerr which is seriously oversized.

Hard to say which one is nicer.

It is the perfect fit in my opinion. All you need is a real pair of high-rise pants/jeans. I think if you wear this style any longer than this then the proportions will be off.
Probably one of the last summer like days in NJ so a last wear of the amazing armored Vanson Drac aka Full Throttle. The perforated hide and vents work like a charm in 75+ weather, but it gets a little chilly below that for my liking with just a T. Then I pull out the classic armored Comet.
Wow, fits you like a glove indeed! I'm glad it fits you and that you like the leather (I guess I shouldn't feel ownership to this jacket anymore, but that's not how it goes, clearly). You summarize the leather nicely: you don't have to fight it...but it's not lightweight by any means.
Also, you must be built like a tank. We're about the same height, but I looked like a skinny teenager in this.
I absolutely love it man!! Thank you for setting the wheels in motion to have it land with me. It really checks quite a few style boxes for me and the leather is sincerely some of the nicest HH I’ve ever handled. The Horween lux is so aptly named.

Can't get over how stunning the Schott is. How much wear did you get into it? Mine is brand new and too shiny and I can't wait for it to get to this level.
I’ll shut up about it after this post. Got a good bit of light on the front porch to really showcase the Horween lux. TBH I’m not much of a huge teacore guy but I do find this to be really striking and beautiful. I think it’ll brown up quicker than the CXL overdye, which is truly more brown to begin with. Anyway, can’t say enough good things about this hide. Aside from Cordo and Midnight blue CXL, Horween Lux is a real gem to look at.
How is the pattern compared to aero? Looks more slim/tapered. Can you tell if the side panels are v shape or did they taper more off the back panel?
edit: jus asking as to a potential alteration to my black hwyman I had talked to dena about bringing in the body of that brown one u have. The side panels make it tricky. She had been thinking just take like an upside down v shape off the back panel each side.
Yeah man this is really just a CR with waist belts and a collar. Follows the V right from the pits. Fit is almost identical to my Aero or SB CR’s. The HWM keeps it more straight shot from the pits down until it hits that waist taper, if that makes sense. Here’s a good comparison shot of the back(s)
