    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    I have a very standard body, so I guess it's not that much of an issue. I do however feel like Aero should provide more information and ask for more measurements than they do, but I guess they are experienced enough. I e-mailed them a few pictures of me standing up, and going to include a few...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    Yes, I see. They seem to be able to do quite a bit for me, but then again I'm unsure. It feels like a lot of gambling if they don't have the measurements on hand. I don't have very large arms, so I assume I'll do OK but not perfect in the arm department. I really like Aero, and I'll probably...

    How did you figure out your sleeves were too thin? And the arm holes?

    I just e-mailed Aero my measurements. I'll keep you guys updated.

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    For guys who have bought a custom Aero jacket - Do you add more measurements than the ones listed on the site? It looks scary not measuring the shoulders, back or arms... They said they figure it out from other measurements, but still. Simmons Bilt offered to add a sunburst back for a very...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    Hi Steve! I'm mainly worried about how I want it to fit. I can go to a tailor and get the measurements properly, that's no worry, but I don't know if the silhouette will be the one that I want, y'know? Which fits my body type the best? I guess Holly can help me with that, but that's the part...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    It would be a reasonable up-charge to add the Sunburst to the 1930s half-belt. We might have a make up I can get behind. There would be no returns though, which is a bit scary.

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    Hi I saw this in the other thread about second hand jackets: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223929613579 I believe that's their brown; it is at the very least FQHH.

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    I see. I think a half-belt is the way to go for me. I've got quite wide shoulders and chest and a somewhat narrow waist. I'll have to look into the leathers more closely, but I guess I'll go for horse. Goat is nice and all though, and high quality. I wish they had kudu as stock - I saw the...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    I see, so I don't need it to create a slimmer profile, except it makes you look slimmer by creating a more natural waist line, I guess? Yes, I'll probably grab a modded Aeromarine or a Sunburst. The sunburst is growing on me the more I look at it, and I think a big thing about it is that it...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    Hi 4444, How much is it to modify stuff like that? I kinda like the Aeromarine, but to like it a lot I'd have to change the pockets to hand warmers. I'm also curious what the fee for changing a back would end up being. Your Maxwell fits you really, really, well; I'm nearly 30 so I end up being...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    Thank you! I looked around a bit, and they seem to be around the same price point as Aero - it will be hard to justify not going Aero then. They do have some amazing jackets though. Yes, I realised it the same second I sent the e-mail that I probably am way out there. I kinda feel bad for...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    First off, thank you guys for all the input. I hope I managed to order every reply in order. Yeah, I looked into that. The Maxwell is a bit of "old dude" vibe to me, while the Aeromarine have a slimmer profile which makes it more attractive - to me. The Maxwell is a really cool looking one...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    The sea biscuit collar is a bit too big and the moonshiner, which is the one I think you're thinking of, got too big of a collar. I've been thinking today and a buddy of mine basically said "have fun buttoning all the buttons every time you wear it" and maybe a zipper is the way to go, after all...

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    The halfbelt would follow - which I just realised makes the straight transfer impossible. Have anyone had a model change from zipper to buttons?

    Ordering my first leather jacket - a sunburst - probably Aero

    Hi, I'm really interested in a sunburst back, and I've been e-mailing with Holly from Aero. I don't really like zippers on jackets, and prefer buttons, but the sunburst on Aeros website is with a zipper and a pretty boring collar. I kinda want something like the Aeromarine in terms of...
