Those are TB measurements. Mine are 19.25, 24, 26 and 21.5.

Then why are we seeing this on so many Aero's? I'm not seeing it on Thedi's, Lewis Leathers or Lost Worlds.
A little small at the shoulder. Not terribly but I’d expect at least 19.5” and more like 20”. My 50’s HB is 20” at the shoulder, generous neck hole diameter (around 18” ) and it’s a delight to wear. Feels no heavier than my lightest 5 star.
soon I’ll have posted every jacket I’ve ever owned in this thread. Not a sheene to be seen, any volunteers to fix that?

I’m tempted but now you’ve confirmed my jacket shoulders are too small for you!!
Me thinks you’re onto something. TB measurement of 19.75 was appealing to me but damned if I can stretch the jacket to hit that #. I’ve tried measuring from the front and back and can’t seem to get more than 19.25. On a related note it also confirms why the sleeves at 26.25 don’t seem to be as long as I normally like. The shoulders aren’t wide enough.
I’m sitting in the sun now, feeling the collar pulling me down, hoping it loosens up.

Lol this looks like a bad fit, like it can't be worn zipped up.
Is this your jacket?
If I could zip that JL he could absolutely zip that jacket. TBH I don’t think that matters.
I’m not saying it’s a problem, you didIs this your jacket?

See that container of Vaseline in the back? I think he needed that to get himself into this jacket
LOL. Dude. No. C’mon man. You know better. That is far from a tight fit. If anything I think it’s a good fit, minus the sleeve length (which I prefer a bit longer).See that container of Vaseline in the back? I think he needed that to get himself into this jacket

I stretched it out and cajoled and pleaded with him, and finally got 19.5”. That’s as much as I can get.
What’s the neck hole measure when fully zipped?

@Carlos840 did a nice comparison between different shoulder widths.

Here you go. Never thought about this but I’ve a 16” neck. Might be part of the problem?
I think it may well be! If the neck hole is smaller than your measured neck...that can’t be good. I agree with Marc about the shoulder width. It doesn’t look like it needs to be any wider. I don’t know, I’m just putting it out there. The only jacket I sold because it hurt to wear was the SB I posted earlier. I absolutely felt that thing digging into my neck and there is no way in Hell I could’ve fastened it all the way up and buttoned the collar closed. I’ll have to take proper measurements of my HB’s neck diameter to be sure.
