Aero Premier 1930s Highwayman

Here's some pics of me wearing a 38 in goat and some seriously heavy duty black steer.

That looks 2 sizes large Sloan. You are a 36, right? So does the new version follow similar sizing to the original HWYMN?

 

[Sloan1874]

Sleeves a lot slimmer, though way too long for me on both, and overall a less boxy fit from previous HWMs I've tried on. The russet was actually a better fit than it looks - I hadn't pulled the cinch straps tight on it. The black was a 38 and, again, is a better fit than it looks, but the stiffness of the leather means it just isn't draping at the moment. Should add that the black steer is stunning, like boiled liquorice!

Wow, looks very nice. I just got my order in for one of these in HH, size 38 no less, now I'm going to get impatient. Thanks for the photos!

I think you have to go with your actual size on this style. I think a 36 would be just the ticket. It's not a style I'd previously considered - I'm slim, and the HWM is a more boxy style - but this certainly is an attractive option.

Thank you for the photos, I though the fit was pretty close on both, just a little tweaking needed. Love the look of that black steer! I'm awaiting a Cafe in that skin and am glad to see how beautiful it looks.

Girlfriend was seriously taken with the black steer - she was getting some measurements for her own Cafe Racer, but she's going with the brown battered steer, which has a bit more drape. Oh, and while I'm here, I saw this new little temptation from Aero: Horween wallets:

I thought the new slimmer fits might be too slim, but that looks perfectly comfortable, espeicially considering the jumper you're wearing. Not "sausagey" at all.

Good for her, battered steer will look fantastic on a racer.

Thank you very much for the pics, Craig. Jacket looks very nice, might get one of these further down the road.

The black jacket is actually Horse hide . It is Horween Chromexcel dyed through , it is black on a black crust , where as regular Chromexcel is a natural colour crust . This leather is very black . It was a sample skin we had .

As they say in Spinal Tap, 'none more black'

Btw, Craig, is that a Hudson minus chest pockets behind you in the first pic?

Helpful pics, Craig.

On a similar vein, I got my premier 20s Work Coat today and it's certainly slim compared to my Stockman or Teamster. I'll stick up fit pics tomorrow.

 

[Sloan1874]

You're right!

What's wrong with being ***y?

Tropicalbob, I've been trying to respond to your PMs but I think your mailbox might be full.

mendelboaz - I think that fits just about perfectly! Very sharp, and I like the idea of tapering down a size at the bottom. Well done.

 

[mendelboaz]

Thank you, sir! The jacket is looking better and better each day. The fit is very nice-- it's loose and relaxed, well suited for layering, but it doesn't look too big. Best thing is it's nice and snug in the shoulders.
