Hi guys I thought I'd seek the advice of others much more experienced than me! I'm thinking of ordering a classic Half-Belt jacket - specifically, the BK Windfall pictured below - but I was thinking of getting it made up in Russet Capeskin. I have two other jackets (both from Aero, one in Russet Vicenza and one in Black Jerky; I really like the latter!) and am after something more supple and lighter for the warmer months. Can you guys advise, based on your experience -
(1) Would the Half Belt style of jacket even work in a lighter leather such as Capeskin? Have any of you guys got one or something similar?
(2) Any feedback on sizing etc on the Windfall would be very helpful. BK have sent me the standard size measurements, but it'd be good to know your feedback on the overall feel and fit; is it a trim fit, high armholes, narrow sleeves, big neck-hole........anything really. I'm 6ft 2inch and 180lbs, quite skinny, long arms.
Thanks guys very much appreciated!!!
