Hi all,
I was fortunate enough to become the third owner of this magnificent Aero Bootlegger in brown CXL steerhide. This particular jacket features prominently here on TFL and in the Thurston Bros. instagram feed and was one of the deciding factors in convincing myself to order an Aero. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to wear it. Funnily enough, Thurston recently posted a 4 jacket tile, and as of yesterday I own two of the featured jackets. The details on this jacket are fantastic, and the brown corduroy lining is exquisite. Im also a huge fan of the brown steerhide and I think it works really well with Wesco's brown domain engineers.
I have a black Sheene in size 40, and this Bootlegger is also a 40. This jacket has more room in the chest than the Sheene and I was hoping for some feedback on how it fits. I was a little hesitant to grab this as Ton (the OG owner) is about the same height but has almost 30lbs on me, but the measurements on the BL were very close to what I would order so I went ahead and nabbed it. Im very happy with the sleeve length/body length and the shoulder hits me just where I want it to. The chest is roomy but I think it will allow me to layer a little more. I'll post zipped and unzipped fit pics below with an undershirt and thin sweatshirt on underneath. Thanks for taking a look!

Special thanks to Ton for designing and ordering such a fantastic jacket and Aerofan for assisting in the break in before passing it along to me. Buying the jacket from Aerofan was so easy and fast, I know he's already got a stellar reputation here re: buying/selling but it's always worth mentioning a great experience.
