Ladies and Gentlemen,
I profited greatly from the knowledge to be found in the lounge.
I hope to add something by reporting about my experience with buying used from Aero Leathers.
I am 5'11'', 184 lbs, Jeans size 32'' and measure 43,3 inches around the chest and 24,5 inches shoulder width. I usually wear suits sized 42 (EU 52) that are a little wide around the shoulders. 44US/54EU is definitely too big at the waist.
I wanted an Aero jacket and I wanted it now, not in a few weeks time, so I bought this one:
It arrived four days later. It was really hardly worn, I have been breaking it in more the last few days than it was broken in from new when I got it.
The jacket fits just like I want it to. Some details where not mentioned on the Aero site though:
1. there are no storm cuffs on this one
2. the back is plain and doesn't have the yolk.
Actually, that is quite the setup I would have chosen, had I had it custom made
Anyway, if you consider buying used from Aero and are nitpicky about the details (I would not have liked a bi-swing back or zippered cuffs), you should probably give Aero a call/an email before ordering.
Some more photos of the jacket after a tough week that already shows:
Again thank you for your hospitality and generous sharing of knowledge.
cheers,
Daniel
