Day 5 with my new Sheene and I’m losing the battle. My shoulders hurt, my elbows hurt, and I swear he’s laughing at me. I’m wondering if feeding him an apple will soften him up?

This issue with Aero shoulder creases has been raised by @Carlos840 and others. Not sure if it’s particularly more acute with the Sheene or not but I sure have it on my recently purchased jacket. I don’t think I have sloping shoulders either but I have
the creases and the pressure on the neck. For what it’s worth, it’s a listed 42 with a p2p of 24.
It’s not comfortable. Does this go away with break-in, or get worse?

I thought mine had them because maybe it was too tight in the shoulders and chest. But now seeing yours with the bigger p2p, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the opposite is true. Like almost too much material bunching up. At least yours doesn't have the flaring out hand warmer pockets like mine. That for sure is because I went too tight.

I wondered about that too but I don’t think I could have gone any tighter with this heavy leather. You can see the pic with the jacket done up. I’m certainly not swimming in it, and I wanted to be able to layer a bit but a shirt and t-shirt is very snug so far.
It’s a puzzle, and a bit disappointing for how much these things cost.

It's a pattern issue.
You can see the end result was not 100% perfect, but close enough. The remaining settled with wear.
Edit: disclaimer
The above is not an Aero jacket but I think the issue as shown is similar.

I agree it’s a pattern issue but why haven’t Aero corrected that? Is it because it only happens to certain body types, meaning not enough to warrant a redesign?

And yours looks pretty good there Marc, I’d sure be happy if my jacket laid like that.

I kind of remember that post, Marc. And that's what I'm sort of talking about, but you did a better job showing it. There's too much material in that quadrant, lets say the upper pec going to the shoulder. So it's not so much that the p2p or shoulder measurement is wrong, it's the angles of the seams and too much material bunching up.

These are all valid questions. I also wonder:
(1) Why people (Aero jacket owners) trivialize the issue by saying those creases add charm.
(2) Why people keep buying Aero's even though they know these pattern issues exist.
(3) If every fashion brand maker in the world gets it right, why can't Aero?

I had planned on making a subsequent Aero purchase, and held off because of this. Having said that however I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else could put this jacket on and not have the issue. It’s odd.
