Aero Cafe Racer Midnight Blue size 40 fits like a 42-44 (trim)

Purchased from Thurston directly after a 6 month wait for the midnight blue horsehide.
I received this jacket in April this year. Very supple. Has hints of green, grey and blue.
I am 5 feet nine inches with a 44 inch chest and 32 inch waist. I weigh 185 pounds. It fits me trim and perfectly. The fit photo's demonstrate the fit on my son who is 5 feet eleven inches tall, 190 pounds with a 42 inch chest and 34 inch waist.
Below is the original order. The back length is currently about 25.5 inches, shoulder is 18.5 inches, pit to pit about 22.5 inches and the sleeves are 26.5 inches.
The leather is amazing in smell and texture!

On me there is way less extra material at the lower back. Maybe because my chest starts at 44 then tapers down it works out there is a little less bunching because leather is pulled up. But I am shorter and wider than my son right now. I thought it looked amazing on him, better than on me actually.

 

Also, standing and posing gives a different look as opposed to when moving around and riding a motorcycle. Also, only the sleeve and back length are modified, the basic design remains the same.

 

My son also has a butt that sticks out from weights and football making the bottom of the jacket catch. If he had a flatter butt the jacket would likely fall straight down.
