    Haven't read it yet but looks promising.

      The Alexander Leathers article at Denim Hunters has moved. The new URL is:

      http://denimhunters.com/2014/01/made-alexander-leathers-factory-visit/

      It mentions an upcoming collaboration with Edwin. There are a couple of shots on Ruedi's Instagram feed, appended below, and it looks fantastic.

        Some winter pics of my Alexander Leathers 4 pocket black Smooth Steer Roadster. Have had it for about 3 months now and gets worn most every day. The wool layers go on when I am going to be outside for a while. I have only put on the winter parka for sliding and snowblowing. 
        I am really happy with it.
        Have my Self Edge x Iron Heart Sexih07 on to keep me warm and White's semi-dress boots.
        Still get uncomfortable posting myself over the net. A little airbrushing helped out. Also realized it is hard to capture good pictures against snow.

            It was a stock size but I did get measurements from them. I though the arms were a little long at 26". I had them shorten the arms an inch to 25". Was just right. In a perfect world the shoulders would be 1/2" wider. A little tight but it only comes up when I layer.

              How much does the alteration costs you? Might send mine as well to shorten.

                    Just remember arms do shorten as the jacket breaks in and creases form in the arm.  Where does the cuff come to on your hand right now with your arms down at sides?
                    Any pics?

                      Yeah, I was just going to say the same thing.  I always like a little extra length in my jacket arms as creases shorten them by 0.5 inch.

                          Yes it does look a little long in the arms. Looks like it comes to your knuckles. Have you had it for very long? Just curious if the arms have creased up from wear and shortened a little already.

                            iirc i wore it like 4 times due to the long sleeves.. I like mine to look like your so maybe an inch would be ok.. have been thinking of selling it until i came across your post mentioning they can. I asked AERO and was told if its a button cuff than its an easy job but if its not it may be a difficult job than one may think.

                              Sorry but I am confused. Is your jacket and Aero or Alexander Leathers?
                              Just because you mentioned Amanda and Aero.

                                Amanda left AERO and joined AL since last year.
                                Enquiry made to AERO just a random one regarding alteration. Sorry for the confusion.

                                  Most of the key staff left Aero to move to Will@Alexander…..

                                    Oh yes. I have read most likely a novel on the subject.  😉
                                    Let us know what you end up doing with your jacket.
