It was Bukowski or Giovanni Bianchi.

I've always been intrigued by the Aero 1950s half belt deluxe


Bought it hoping that I've found my final leather jacket. Unfortunately, it didn't fit me and I'll have to let it go and opt for a custom made one. If anyone's interested feel free to drop me a message.

In which way did it not fit?

Since I picked up my gym activities, my arms have grown. I prefer more room for my upper arms for comfort.

Also, I have a large drop, usually 10-12". For the latter, I could just nip the waist of the jacket with the side buckles, but since the upper arms are an issue as well, I'd rather just perfect the fit through custom made. Hence, letting this baby go.

This would fit a normal or athletic person, just not me to be worn comfortably according to my preferences. This is why I'm also selling a bunch of my suits, sport coats and overcoats.
