1st and 3rd pants show than a high waist could have a quite modern fit.

This jacket is definitely the perfect size for you.

la c'est vraiment mieux! the jacket has a better fit with the high waisted pant its definitively better . youve got the right look.despite the slim fit pant!

Thank you all for your feedback.

Yes I'm very lucky. All the credit goes to Pilot and the artisan who made the jacket.

That's a stunner. Great to see the search and prize on the forum. Enjoy it... You won't get a better one...period.

Looks good in those last few pics
Aero still has a range of Levis, original American made and Japan stuff from memory
Plenty come up on the bay
Lee jeans are to some the better denim
TCB jeans do some raw or pre washed denim but be very specific with size as more often they come smaller than requested
Grant is hot on denim stuff and there are plenty forums out there for denim

Some might say 'hot IN denim stuff' although I prefer the HBT look...

Yesterday I wore the jacket for the first time to go to work. I hadn't worn it a lot before because it was not yet cold enough in Toulouse, or it was raining too much.

I had very good feedback !
A colleague even wanted to try it.
No one said the jacket was too short. The cut is relatively timeless.

It's funny because people immediately think it's a pilot's jacket. While it is basically a civilian jacket.

And personally I really love it !!!

Now I am moving towards more "vintage" clothes to wear with the jacket. Lots of very interesting things to associate. I just have a few issues with my sweaters. I have to tuck it into the pants when I put on the jacket if not it sticks out and looks like a skirt.
I would have to find relatively short sweaters.

What about a short sweater vest ... keeps the core warm , they usually make them shorter .

Well actually it WAS a pilot's jacket, at least it was sold by him

 

[Kermit3D]

I took some pictures last weekend.
Well, I don't feel at ease as a fashion model... but I did some tests of pants to go with my jacket.

Tell me what you think about it.

You look great in all those combos and what's even mosre important; you are obviously happy with your jacket it's such a great piece and gives immediately a nice vintage look when you put it on.
Btw I'm curious about your wristwatch

 

[flyincowboy]

Like the second and third trousers they look perfect (period correct) with the jacket . To me the pair of jeans are too slim for that style of jacket.

Thank you very much.
Indeed I'm particularly happy to have this jacket, I really love it... so much so that I'm thinking about buying a second one (with maybe some different options) as a backup in a while (yes it's really not reasonable)

the watch is a "Roamer" from the early 1930s. It is (it seems to be) a pilot's watch : rotating bezel, large size (41 mm) .
Many brands have made watches of this type for aviation :
