The one I have will be too big for you, but I will include a pic or two so you can see what else might be out there. It's a Goodwear/Himel Bros collaboration, a classic 1930s style "Californian" half belt.

You should check out the outlet/sale pages of both Aero and Simmons Bilt, which often have nice jackets available. I see right now there is a really nice 1930s (slim cut) Highwayman on the Aero page in size 40 that might fit your needs. And a VERY affordable Arkansas in size 40 on the Simmons Bilt page:

You could also check out the Classifieds page on the Fedora Lounge, where really nice, slightly used jackets show up quite frequently:

Here is my Goodwear, just for info:

Thanx again!

Short answer, I'm at work...

I decided to pull the trigger on the black Real McCoys Steinbeck - unfortunately it was not in stock... The brown still is and the brown was my first choice. I'm brown eyed and brown hair and my brown fits my wardrobe best - for now (I have a brown RRL).

Just put the RRL up buy & sell...

Right on. It also occurred to me: Not sure how close you are to Copenhagen, but Brund there has a nice Simmons Bilt Roadster in stock:

Why not just get an Aero Half-belt or Highwayman?

So this is potentially the end result of black dyed CXL FQHH? I'm very intrigued by the black-fade-to-brown phenomenon, though if it takes 25 years I will be on to some other obsession. Noted this Addict version of the black-to-brown; And on a fairly different theme, saw High Large Leathers in the Standard & Strange Instagram feed and I'm taken with this:

The Addict Clothes black to brown fades (only on lambskin) happens much quicker - you can likely start to see high-abrasion areas turning color after a season or two of wear. It's quite cool

In the process of ordering a board racer. Hanging out lads. Going for Vicenza Russet, like this.

The show through does start pretty quickly though with CXL, almost immediately..

I suppose this belongs in "Someone Should Buy This," but holy ****, someone here smaller than myself & with more disposable income should buy this!
Vintage 1920s-30s horsehide A-1 with shearling/corduroy lining.

Good to know in both cases.

Addict has the advantage of two styles that I'd consider, while Aero is a little overwhelming. But I'll poke around and think it over. Some of the fun is in that anyway.

terrible

Aero Cafe Racer FQHH

I really love the Beck 333 model.

This is Himel's version, in Horween horsehide.


If I'm a good boy and save up maybe I can buy one in a year's time. Mayyyybe.
