Is this Bronson MA-1 too big? I'm typically a medium I just about everything, 5'7" #150. I purchased this in a large thinking Asian sizing. I later saw pictures of the jacket size and accompanied model's size and I am now second guessing if I should have gotten the medium. I would most likely wear this with a hoodie or additional layer over a T-shirt. Thanks.

It looks great. If you reduce the size, the jacket will be too short and tight in the chest.

I got this OG 107 Cotton Sateen shirt as a light outer layer for this Summer. I think it fits, but I want a second opinion.

I received my second Aero Leather Jacket today, Vincent in black Fqhh with brown stitching, brass hardware, belt and epaulets.
I tried to go as short as possible in relation to my "median" trouser height so that the belt peeks out slightly below the jacket here and there. I'm quite pleased with the fit all in all, after finding my highwayman good but overall slightly too big.
I honestly would prefer it to be even shorter but the dream silhouette of an almost square top will probably just never work with my long and tubular upper body.

Also, after years of pathologically oversizing my sleeves (I'm 6'7 and super burned by too-short sleeves from off the rack jackets), I found the courage to spec them to where I like them best on others - slightly below the wrist. It "feels" too short out of habit but I lm very happy with how they look.

Looks absolutely magnificent. Perfect sleeve length for me. Too long sleeves instantly give "I'm wearing my dad's jacket" vibe.

I think the body length looks good. After moving around with it zipped, the trousers will probably drop from the waist and the jacket will ride up, so you may yet find that the belt does peak slightly.

Thanks to a fellow lounger today I received this LW SD - it’s a beast of a jacket and finally I’ve got my hands on a LW!

This is supposed to be a winter jacket with a fleece layered under - size 42 for my size 40 chest. I tried it on with just a t-shirt and the fit is not too bad - so potentially a spring and autumn jacket too!

The sleeves are a tad long without layering - but I think it’s better to have sleeves that are too long than too short!!

The hem is perfect for a big belt buckle and it looks like I can even zip in my Samurai belt buckle.

What do you think guys? I purposely got a size 42 as don’t want it to ‘wardrobe compete’ with my aero KotR which is my summer jacket. I’m a single minded person - want there to be just 1 jacket to reach out to at any given time in a year.

As usual - don’t mind the shorts!

Thanks guys yes I’ll keep this! Been waiting for ages for one to appear for sale.

At 3.8KG this is my heaviest - vs Vanson Enfield in HH 3.2KG and aero KotR in CXL 2.9KG

The overlook look is roomy with a T. If you wear heavier layers, it works well. I believe this look is important because you always need a nice jacket that can be worn with a turtle-neck sweater.
LW and their hides are as good as they get.

Yes, it's a bit big, but I think it looks quite cool when worn open in the picture.
