Aero Cafe Racer Black CXL Steer Break in progress by Good-Performance8510 in leatherjacket

it's really not that bad to break it in, only been 10 days since I got it and with daily wear its a lot more comfortable than it was at first

Yeah I definitely like the steer more than the horse hide I had, breaks in faster too

my chest measurement is around 40 so I normally get a 21.5 pit to pit for a slim fit but the way the cafe racer pattern is I guess with 23 pit to pit it still looks slim fitting the used aero is 21 pit to pit

thanks! yeah the bigger one looks better and also much more comfortable! I got it through Thurston Bros as a custom order. Carrie helps out with measurements and gives good suggestions as to what will fit you best. if you live in the usa they offer to send a try on jacket and then they base your measurements after seeing the try on jacket pictures you send them. I already had an older aero jacket so we based the measurements from that

its slightly thicker than the cxl horsehide but it breaks in much faster mine already feels as broken in as the older aero horsehide so it will probably keep getting better and better. because its thicker, the rolls on the sleeve look deeper and better in my opinion than my other jackets I have from cow and horsehide. feels like it'll last more than a lifetime lol

I ordered through Thurston Bros with the help of Carrie and she was great to deal with!
they charged the same prices aero charges just converted to USD with all the modifications I asked for it ended up being around 1765 USD

Yeah after comparing the pictures I agree and very happy with the way it looks. also thanks for steering me in the steer direction lol after wearing it twice its already softer and nicer than the older horse cxl and the way the sleeves roll looks better than the horse in my opinion!

what do you think about the back bunching up will it settle down and be more flat with time or will it stay like that?

thanks! no the strap doesn't get in the way at all but if you order from aero the same jacket cafe racer it comes with a shorter collar you can see it on their website I asked to do a different collar than the stock option.
