@Palmer:

@Jett129:

Does 24OZ on the fabric sound right?

Yes, it's 24oz for sure. 18 before waxing. It's quite thick.

@hm1944 I currently wear an XXL Long. I used to have an XL Long but sold it because it was too tight in the shoulders and not really comfortable to wear. It takes a while for the fabric to settle and drape so maybe just wear it for a while?

Thank you Palmer.  I think in my head I expected maybe more body fit like it is with IH Type III jackets, but this type of jacket has another philosophy (working chore jacket). I am just thinking loud and yes this jacket is very well built and robust. Will start wearing and see how it developes.

Got also my XXL Long version of Wills Tan jacket. Mixed feelings about size. Great fit around chest, too baggy on belly part. In offline shop I would have taken XL maybe. When deciding about XL and XXL before ordering I considered these main factors:

1. saw recommendation on forums to size down from IH. (My IH jackets shirts are XXXL).
2. thought 24oz material is too thick, hence no problem with measurments for XXL.

Some music I like is raw, dirty and aggressive.

Thanks for responses. Yeah, this is exactly what I am doing, measuring and comparing, otherwise I would not have noticed this. Being away in tropics away from home some months my reference shirt is at home. Its earlier run Johnny Cash III XXXL with measured PtP 62cm (had to took out my notes to check it). So I remembered that Johnny Cash III XXXL is good for me, so I took this shirt to compare table in webshop. There I noticed the size shift and hence the question above. Everything is cool!

I am little confused with Johnny Cash III measurements now. I bought one last year from Statement Store as XXXL, it fits good. So this shirt is for me as reference shirt for Western cut. I am now preparing to get new western shirt and noticed in comparing function that Johnny Cash III measurments are all „shifted“ to more big size….smth like old XXXL measurments are now XXL.

Thanks, I like this vest. I bought it last December. I like jeans also, bought in May but did not wear them in summer almost at all. But I like them.
