Nice Commodore!
It is. Not hard to wear though. If this were CXL I don’t think I’d keep it. One thing I’ve found is that soft leather is far more forgiving in a tight fit. Doesn’t feel like a burden to wear at all. Feels like a thick Brooks CR.

Ton, how much does it cost? I just have skinny hands))
Tbh I’m not sure...I bought this one second hand. SB does stock this hide so I’m sure they could make one. I’m not terribly familiar with their catalog so I’m not sure how far this deviates from the standard roadster. Might be as simple as zip sleeves vs the standard false cuff...I’d have never thought to try something in this hide personally as my mind is generally one track for CXL. This seems to have all heft, maybe even more, without the rigid/angry nature that CXL has before break-in (and often after). That said there is nothing I’m looking forward to more than midnight blue V2!

I think the car coat is one of the more difficult styles to get right. If you don't get it right, a car coat can easily make you look like in old man.
But you nailed it! Great jacket, great fit!

Looks great on you. I always go back to Matt Dillon in Drugstore Cowboy for car coat inspiration. Its a much underrated style.
Speaking of which, I always forget the model number of the Schott cross-zip car coat they did in the 80s. Need to set-up an eBay auto search for that one.

Looks great. Aero makes a very nice coat. Just make sure to never wear it with sneakers and you don't need to have any doubts!

Freewheelers Wigwam. This style goes back to pre-zipper days of the 1920s. Sears catalog picture 1926
