    The Open Road Guild

    My 6x and straw are my best fitting - the bashes on the crown or crown depth seem very inconsistent. The straw is really deep - perfect fit right out of the box - and it is new, the 6x is 4 years old. I steamed and hat-jacked it over a few sessions over night until it felt about right. Now...

    The Open Road Guild

    AERO BRONCO SIZING

    Chiming in to agree - I just got my Bronco A-2 and I was so worried the 42 would be baggy since I wear a 40 suit. No way I could have been happy in a 40. Go with the size they recommend.

    Customized A2

    Agreed, the sleeves should have a seem where they attach to the body (check the US A web site photos, or any A2). And it's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like the side seems may be missing as well. Shame. I have a US A also and the leather looks like that; heavy, matte finish, and...
