Hey all,

I am thinking about buying an Aero Ace Café Rocker Jacket, but don't have the opportunity to try one on.
So could anybody give me some hints about the fit?

I really would like to have a slim fit, my measures are 107 cm at the chest and 96 cm at the navel area.

Recently I tried on a Highwayman in size 40, but didn't like the boxy cut.
So, what is the Aero Ace Rocker about?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Chris

P.S. I also tried a Lewis Leathers Dominator in size 42, but that one was about 3-4 cm to loose at the waist...

Hi Chris, and welcome on the FL.
If you like a real fitted jacket, maybe the 1930's halfbelt is something for you... I don't know about the Cafe Racer though, but indeed the Highwayman is a rather boxy style jacket.
Do you want a motorcycle jacket or just a good jacket for normal wear?
If ordering a jacket at Aero, just mail or call them and they will help you at their best. Also, if you like to customize a jacket or build a jacket to you personal specifics, Aero is the place te be in my opinion.

Well, I also tried on the Halfbelt jacket - indeed the fit is much trimmer than the Highwayman. But actually I don't like the halfbelt on the Halfbelt ;)
The jacket would be for casual wear basically. I am looking for a style as the Ace Rocker - clean and simple, but with a snug fit around the waist.
Another jacket I really like is the Lewis Leathers Corsair, but I definitely want a horse hide jacket.
