Lost World's Sizing

I am thinking of purchasing a Lost World's A-1 and want to know how these compare to Aero's in terms of sizing. I find Aero, in my size, to be snug but acceptable. Would Lost Worlds be the same? Or should I order a size larger?

As a former LW A-1 owner, I can tell you they run true to size. That said, my advice is DO NOT order the jacket. The boxy pattern and way-too-heavy leather do not suit the A-1 design. Eastman make a far superior version, and if you are a 44 or under, the Buzz A-1 is probably the nicest currently available.

I agree! Plus LW's A1 sleeve isn't tapered to cuff,giving it a strange appearance. LW sizing does compare to Aero...tho it seems that LW is cut higher underarm. I,too,like ELC's version. Buzz's mustang HH looks good. Also Aero makes a very nice replica in Capeskin. The right hide that does drape like an original A1.
