Damn Denis!!! That pic just helped alleviate 95% of my buyers remorse!!! Looks incredible.
Im really hoping the sizing works out for me.

The shoulders measure about .75 larger than my normal shirt size. The arm length is about spot on for my normal shirt length. The chest is right in the middle of my preferred range on a shirt/ jacket. Since this is a thicker leather I’m not exactly sure how that will all translate.

Yeah great piece and shot @goosehd  , and you won't regret the garment unless it doesn't fit, @Mizmazzle ; in that case, I'm not sure what size you are but there would be a potential local buyer

[Mizmazzle]

Always good to have a Plan B!!! @mclaincausey
Hoping it works out and I can be buried in this thing!! No coffin. Just this jacket and straight into the ground!! Should keep me fresh for eons!

Hey @goosehd
Question, on your jacket, do you find the shoulder measurement to be the same as your shirts? I’m kinda worrying the shoulder might be a bit too wide now. 18” tends to be my size in shirts. This jacket is 19”.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle How did they measure the jacket and from where to where?  Your question is vague and I’m afraid my response won’t help you if I don’t measure correctly.  You also have to account that jackets are typically layered over a shirt (or two - t-shirt and button up) and may need extra space.

If I were you, I would just try it on and go from there.  Keep it if it fits and you like it and if it doesn’t move it on and try again.

Indeed Denis, indeed. Just over here hyper analyzing my purchase. 

Monday will reveal the true story…

So wait till Monday 

Worry about things you can affect, not things you can't…..

It takes a shit load off your mind if you live by that basic principle, and you'll likely live longer and happier....At least that is the way I try and live my life.....

Wise words spoken. My anxiety may be better described as , Giddy Excitement….that and a lot of sedentary time as I nurse a recent surgery. Idle hands and the sort…

Boom!! Feeling pretty good about it!!! Fits nice with a t shirt and with a UHF!

[endo]

excellent @Mizmazzle 

[Mizmazzle]

How’s the fit look? I think the shoulders might be a touch wide. But doesn’t look sloppy I don’t think. I’m not sure though. First leather jacket, really. With a UHF under I wouldn’t want it any tighter. Just curious what those with some experience in leather jacket sizing think.

[Giles]

I'd give my right bollock for a fit like that…...I was going to say how much I liked it earlier, but thought it was unnecessary.......

[mclaincausey]

Yep good to go man IMO–the sleeves will likely shorten a touch as they crease and the combs set in. The shoulders don't look big to me and I am sure you'll appreciate the room--great score!

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks chaps!! That’s what my gut told me too. The shoulders were my only apprehension. Time to rock this thing!!!

[goosehd]

I agree with the comments regarding fit.  You did well!

[BloodnThunder]

Thank god it’s Himel weather around here again.

[Mizmazzle]

@BloodnThunder that jacket was made for you!! Looking tough!
