Bootlegger or Sheene

[Caber]

I’m thinking I’ll go with the sheene

I'd go Sheene. I recommend going through Thurston Brothers and do a fit jacket as it's totally different than the BL/50's HB's you have been used to.

I'd say Sheene too but definitely go with a fit jacket from Thurston. Going with a Seven would be another alternative but would also strongly recommend a fit jacket for a Seven as well as it's a completely different fit from a Sheene.

Sheene or if you have the fit nailed on the HH, why not a 50's half belt? Similar enough to the Sheene but no guesswork needed on the fit!

Haha nice. Do you prefer the 30s HB over the Sheene/HWM/Seven/etc. I don't own any Aero jackets and when I first started taking the deep dive into this leather jacket game, I was overwhelmed by all the different models offered. I'll eventually get an Aero but I've heard so many different things about fit and sizing. I really like the P HWM look. I have a bigger upper body for my frame and want a jacket with a tailored waist. So not sure which model suits what I'm looking for. Probably should have put the question out to the group lol

Sheene for you too @TG3!
Just get it styled like the Highwayman.

Should have done this instead of getting a PHWM

I'm thinking sheene in cordovan CXL steer with quilted wool linning unless you guys think that would be to thick for a jacket fitted like the sheene

You're not supposed to be encouraging me! Help my wallet out!

I didn't even know that was an option! Sheene pattern with P HWM styling?

Too boxy of a fit?

A little but I'm thinking if I requested the waist to be brought in by 1-2 inch then I would have a better fit so a PHWM can work too

yes, you can order that, if you clarify it by mail. Additional costs around 100 gbp if I'm not mistaken.

Just my $.02 but I would go lighter for the lining. Wool tartan, or cotton drill or sateen. It's a farily close fitting jacket. +100 for the CX Steerhide! Excellent choice!

Yes, it can be done!
