New Aero quartermaster seal jerky a2 return or keep it

[Hammerklavier]

Just received this jacket, any opinions would be appreciate it.
I'll just let pictures speaks itself.

You need to do up your fly. Looks like a nice jacket but the sleeves appear to be too long and they look quite roomy. If you can't see the knits the sleeve isn't right. From those two photos it's hard to tell but is the jacket quite baggy too and is that how you want it?

 

[Hammerklavier]

That's what I thought, but I still not sure if I should to return it.

Other than sleeves ~3" too long the fit looks reasonably good to me. Maybe Aero can shorten the sleeves for you. Perhaps forward the pictures to them and ask. Beautiful A-2 at a very good price.

It's baggy and the sleeves are a tad long. My vanson stadium fits the same though and is one of my favourite jackets out of the 20 I own. I guess it comes down to whether you feel comfortable in it. If you like it and see yourself wearing this one over your other jackets, keep it. If you think, when in doubt you'll always grab another one and this one you feel too self consious in, then return it.

I know.... Thanks

Except for the sleeves it looks fine. Seems like a nice leather, what do you think? If you dont mind the sleeve length then keep it. And zip your fly!

Yeah, same as the others. If it were "mine", I'd prolly not wear it like that. If I take the "way back time machine" and go back to 2009, I would love the look though. Up to you - what size is it?

 

[Hammerklavier]

The problem is the armhole on this a2 is so big, that makes the fit looks baggy. Of course the Jerky HH is incredible.

 

[ButteMT61]

Body looks OK, sleeves kinda take away from it as they are long and very baggy.

 

[Monitor]

Yeah, it's maybe a bit big but it's cool! I like it. It looks like a leather jacket which is a good thing, really. The sleeves are a bit too long, tho. The knits are completely hidden. Maybe with time, creases, etc.?

Dunno. I don't think you'd be risking anything by going one size down, though.

 

[Hammerklavier]

It's 44. But the size number really is not speaking anything for Aero. The 38 sometimes is bigger than 42

I like my A2 jackets baggy (not a slim/tight ) sleeve length for me I prefer a little bit longer better longer than to short as I find 9 times out of 10 as the sleeve crease the length then becomes perfect , I'm pretty sure that seal jerky leather will crease on the arms with some wear end of the day your the one wearing it what's it matter what anyone else thinks, I'm loving my quartermaster special!!!! If that was my jacket I would keep it.

Sleeves are too long, back is too loose. Send it back and ask for the same colour and style in a size smaller.

Even with a size smaller the sleeves might still be too long. I think you bought the #016 jacket that is close to the measurements of my aero Bronco except the sleeves of my Bronco are 27" and still barely long enough for my long arms (I wear a 16X37 shirt).

 

[Sloan1874]

The jacket is falling off the shoulders, which makes me think a size down would be just the thing.

May slighlty be the way your arms are but yes, as said by others, it looks good but the arms look a tad long. Great looking jacket though.

 

[ButteMT61]

It if were mine, and I got it at that price, and it fit like this, I'd jump straight into the HWT.
That's me - I've done it now and I think it might come out OK.
OTOH, you can sell it now "as new" so...

 

[Hammerklavier]

My us authentic has almost same measurements, but it fits better.

Id say at least a size big. Possibly 2. At least nothings hanging out, it happens. I answered the door for the pizza girl the other day in worse shape than just a zipper down.
