I feel like I have spammed this website every time I get a new jacket to get some fit feedback

Anyway here’s some more spam:

Just picked up this jacket used as the measurements seemed like a good fit to me. You guys weren’t lying about the drop on the cafe racer. Do you think this is a keeper:

I do already own a board racer (which imo fits slightly better), but I’m thinking due to the pattern differences, I can actually layer with the cafe racer for colder months. Pics of my board racer below for comparison

To me this is your best one yet, definitely a keeper.
I actually think it fits better than the board racer.

I don’t think this is caused by snug shoulders as you see this on more roomy Aero jackets as well.
Second this. If I really lean my neck forwards the wrinkles disappear. The lines come from your neck pushing the collar further back than the rest of the jacket

We used to use Dubbin on our rugby boots when I was a schoolboy, I can still remember the (not unpleasant) smell, great suff. I was not aware it was still about.

I think your CR looks great on you (the Board Racer too). You are wearing a hoody under so I think maybe some of the creases might be driven by that.

I must say that these two are in my opinion your best fitting jackets, and should have a solid place in your wardrobe.

....and, my CR is also a horse and very soft (although mine is a russet).
