Thank you. Someday I may post a pictue of me actually wearing them, but for now I am still a little camera shy. Maybe when I have a good hat to go with them. The Aero is rather new, and still as stiff as a 2x4, but I sure like wearing it. I've had the Wested for almost a year, and it feels like butter next to the Aero (and it is horsehide too!). Thanks to all the members of the forum for telling me about the 80's fit, I think it makes a huge difference, esp for my slim figure.

I specified the 80's slim fit, and asked for smaller pockets and collar, but from the other pics I've seen, I think that size pockets and collar are standard for a 40R 80's fit. Maybe? I also added a second interior pocket.
