congrats!...my luftwaffe

congrats peter! i got the same, size 46, and it's like going back in time, flawless fitting despite it being a stock size, and quality that is at the pinnacle. would also love to see pix of it on you...but from having one i know it gets no better than this.

Nice jacket!:eusa_clap I have always admired the Luftwaffe jackets.

My own fair weather riding jacket is something called the JD jacket from Xpert. It is the same style as the Luftwaffe (which is why I got it), but armored and cut for the riding position.

Hi Peter - about to find out, sadly, only a day there to pickup my jacket and see what I can. Can't wait as I've never been there before, so hopefully my jacket from Aero fits and the weather is cold so I can enjoy it :)

I wore my size 46 Luftwaffe today as well. Agree with all the good things Johnny had to say about it, and his review pushed me over the edge to buy it last year. Wore my charcoal grey Borsalino Como fedora with it - a great combination. I've got an Aero Highwayman in a 46 incoming I just picked up on VLJ, so it will be interesting to compare them.
