Fit check please. I’ve been wondering ever since I got my Schott 641HH in size 38, whether or not a 36 would be a better fit. I recently got a 36, so here’s how they fit. I have a few side by side pics of me wearing Schott 641HH in sizes 36 and 38, with a t-shirt and thermal-type long sleeve...

Received this custom Hooch Hauler from another member last week. The dark seal jerky horsehide is soft and supple.

Just received a mint Bootlegger in CXLHH Cordovan. It’s a slim fit, which fits more like a Hooch Hauler. Zip sleeves and no shoulder epaulets. I’m wondering if it’s STF or Premier.

I received the jacket today. It’s VERY nice. I think it fits just fine the way it is, but I’m actively trying to slim down my mid-section for the summer so it’ll be better in a few months (hopefully). Thanks Craig from Craigslist for passing it along to me. Pics:

No longer for trade. I'm gaining weight... keeping it for when my other jackets no longer fit.

Hi, I've been looking for a Hooch Hauler for a while. I found the auction before looking here, but I just bought your jacket. I can't wait to try it on. Thanks.

Just received this. I couldn’t resist buying it when I saw it. Brown Vanson horsehide Model B, size 38:

Lost some weight and the size 40 Aero Highwayman is feeling big with the side straps cinched all the way down. It’s perfectly broken in, so it feels sooo good. Here’s my 40: Got a 36 recently with a busted zipper that’s on its way to TB to get fixed. Here’s the 36 just begging to be...

Recently received this 641hh 38 that feels fully broken in. For whatever reason, I feel that a 36 would fit better. Wanting to trade the size 38 for a 36. I know that it’s a long shot, but putting it out there, as I don’t think I can get back what I paid for it (plus shipping from Japan)...

Just got a used Fox Creek Leather jacket in 38, which looks like the smallest size they sell. I have another FCL jacket and the fit is similar (huge). I put Forcefield CE Level 2 armor on the back, shoulder and elbows. Here it is on me with armor and no liner.

Thanks, I worked it all out with the seller.

I received the supposed “New with tags” Vanson Oxford 38 today. Unfortunately, it ended up being a used jacket with a bad sleeve zipper and more wear on the sleeve ends than even my really beat up 36 Model B shown in a few posts up. I’m in communication with the seller, but in the meantime...

Just picked up a Vanson Model B in 36. Measurements are: shoulder 16.5”, p2p 19.5”, sleeve 25”, length 23.75”. I wear a 38 Comet that fits snug like this 36 Model B. I have a Oxford coming from Japan in 38 that was advertised with 36 measurements: shoulder 16.5”, p2p 19.9”, sleeve 24.4”...

How does the Schott 641HH look (fit-wise) compared to my Vanson Comet? I thought the 641HH would be a tighter fit. Also, what's the deal with the horsehide being so soft/supple? I thought it would feel a little tougher... Did I mistakenly buy a fashion leather jacket due to lack of...

Received a Schott 641HH in 38 and I’m wondering about the fit. From what I’ve read, it should be a very slim fit. I had an unlined horsehide 641 in the past but I didn’t like the fit. Seemed made for a much taller person than I. Pardon my crappy pics, but how does it look compared to my...
