Size 42. Ptp 55 cm / 21.7'
Might be a bit tight but I think I'd rather wear this style tight than blousy. We shall see

I always went with ELC’s sizing aid and this worked out for me.

Sometimes I'm surprised about what's on your wishlist. I didn't know you were into:
1) Military styles
2) Browns

Fingers crossed!
I tried them at the pop up store, i really couldn't fit in a 42, 44 was right but still a little short.
In a perfect world i would want a 44L.
Even a 44 was really not blousy on me.
(i'm a 42 in the roadstar, Californian and Windward, but 44 in Flightjackets)

On my wishlist, but probably not in the budget until 2022-23. I’d love to get an Aero Highwayman in a dark blue leather with brown shearling lining and collar. I was inspired by this Aero Highwayman made in 2017. This one in the pics is blackened brown Vicenza with brown shearling lining. I think using dark blue leather would really compliment the shearling.

Now that's a Chicago winter jacket right there.

A few pics of a 70s Schott CR I recently got for a few hundred pounds. A nice and trim fit and not broken in yet. Actually prefer shorter sleeves, so was quite lucky in that regard as well.
After a slight conditioning:

I got the same model (late 60s/early 70s) several days ago. I like it, a classic, with a little longer body than some CRs. Very comfortable, light jacket.
This looks like new- wow!
Congratulations, and great fit too.

Yeah, the back length is almost 26". I usually prefer shorter jackets, but it isn't much of an issue.

@jeo Congrats! You have such a beautiful and massive collection already and I like all of them! Your J24 Looks really nice and I think it looks really good both zipped and unzipped but as you feel more comfy wearing it unzipped it’s definitely a keeper! Yes, sizing is strange with this one. I needed a size 42 in this case - usually 40.

a few of us rocking these now. They are awesome. From what I can tell, they are based on the Beck 666. The ones with the wind flap are the Schott model. The ones without are the original Beck. Schott re-released the design as the 641xx, but even that model has some variations. One has NOS talon zips and no windflap. The other has regular Schott zips with wind flap. And there's also a horse hide model.
The short sleeves (which are kind of balloony too) are cool and give it a different feel. If every jacket looked the same, what would a lot of us do with our time
