Would there be a possibility to pre order a pair in different sizing?

Baker's boots and White's usually do a very nice black friday sale, I think Baker's said it will go live this friday.

DON'T LISTEN TO DR's SIZING ADVICE! They are notorious for sizing people too small.
White's 55 sizing, for me, equals Brannock - 0.5.

I'm a size 11EE in White's and 11EE in Wesco MP95 FWIW.

What temperatures can this jacket handle? Is it usable in rainy conditions?

Aero jackets are good quality and use great leathers, you can't go wrong with an Aero as a first jacket.

Fit is king with leather jackets so be sure to spend some time on looking at measurements and understanding different patterns.

No, the glue on it's own is mostly enough to keep the sole attached. The stitching helps and nails too but I would not be worried if the nails are missing (imo).

@Mizmazzle:

That’s an excellent point @bbtns

I did just snag one of their Henley thermals in medium and it fits perfect for how I like em. Not really the same as a full on shirt but perhaps some type of barometer.

Yes, I think if you give this as a reference point the crew will be able to size you correct for the jacket.

@Mizmazzle:

Good info @Palmer between the long ass wait and the inability to exchange of the sizing is off…it’s a bit of a high pressure situation. Haha.

I’m curious…anyone have any experience/ thoughts on how the newer lines version compares to the V1? Haven’t read much input on that factor.

Something I did and worked out great: I purchased a Ship John shirt before my Wills jacket got made. Confirmed sizing with the shirt, the crew said to take the same size. Sizing for the jacket worked out perfect.

Ofcourse, you'll have to shell out extra for the shirt but it will give you some ease of mind.

The size chart is pretty accurate and works for sizing. I picked up an XXL and it allows me to layer and be comfortable. The jacket feels like armor and is very stiff, I can imagine that it would be unbearable to wear if too small (for me). It'll take a long while to break this in.

I word it to an event last weekend and all my friends were impressed and wanted to try it on.

I'd have to try it on to see it. I have a 36mm day date that is very small on my wrist. It has a more formal look and looks great with a dress shirt one, but it's a watch I can't wear every day sadly.
