Aero 1930's halfbelt pinnacle vs cxl

[Tomalf]

After consulting with Holly from aero's cs I ordered a size 44 pinnacle 1930's halfbelt from their stock collection.

In the past I ordered 1930's premier in hh cxl in size 42 and the combination of the fact that it was a little too small for me, hh cxl being super high temper and my upper arms probably being too large for the arm circumference (42cm jacket arm circumference vs 41cm arm) made it so I could barely reach the chest pocket let alone drive.

Does anyone have experience with the characteristics of pinnacle cs cxl and the fit differences between the premier and regular version of the 1930's halfbelt?

My measurements:
Height 177cm - 5ft 9.75"
Relaxed Chest 109cm - 43"
Expanded Chest 111cm - 43.75"
Stomach 97cm - 38.25"
Waist 101cm - 39.75"

Jacket measurements:
Pit to Pit: 23.75"
Sleeve: 26"
Back: 24.5"
Shoulder: 19.25"
Hem: 22.75"

Hi - Not sure it matters / OBE cuz over a year ago but I have a 1930 1/2 belt pinnacle. It is softer leather and wears well. We are about the same height. I am 5' 9.7" and 165-170. I fall in odd category ... 42 jackets/sports coats to large and 40s sometimes too small. Think you will find the pinnacle more forgiving leather despite horsehide. Mine was labelled a 40. Shoulders tend to be my issue. 40s sometimes to narrow. This one is perfect. ~1" room all the way around
