    Body vs. jacket measurements

    I think I'm pretty clear now, thanks to everyone!

    Body vs. jacket measurements

    Those are ways to measure a jacket, but my question was really about how to translate those numbers into something meaningful for a given individual. If someone has a leather jacket that fit perfectly already, it's trivial to compare the measurements, and according to some of the comments above...

    Body vs. jacket measurements

    OK, thanks everyone. I was wondering that a denim jacket would be too thin to be a good proxy for leather. Quick follow up: Is it better to be a couple cm tight on the chest, or a couple cm wide in the shoulders? (I suspect never go tight on the chest, right?)

    Body vs. jacket measurements

    Thanks. The 47" is all around the chest and shoulders (so like a chest measurement but going over the shoulders).

    Body vs. jacket measurements

    All - how do I translate my own body measurements into the right jacket size? My chest is 41" around, and my shoulders are 47". My shirt measurements are generally around 22"-23" P2P and 19" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. How do I use this information to choose the right jacket size? Thanks!

    Thanks. Couldn't find the Frobisher on the site.

    One more question if I may... What is the difference in body length between the Canuck and the Frobisher?

    The State of the Art in Japanese Outerwear: Freewheelers and Co 2012-13 Collection!

    Do they produce 1 or 2 collections a year? It seems that most of their most desirable outerwear is unavailable right now.

    How does one get a Ventura made by Himel?

    Himel Canucks vs. Freewheelers Brakeman

    Something I just noticed: the canucks front panels are made of 2 pieces, whereas the FW Brakeman's are made of a single piece each.

    Himel Canucks vs. Freewheelers Brakeman

    Very useful, thank you. Do you know whether the 2 coats are the same length?

    Weight lifting and leather jackets

    I suspect that when you cut you'll loose a lot more in your chest than in your shoulders, so yes, it will fit better. Eventually, you might find that most of the clothes that fit you shoulder wise are a bit or very loose in the torso.

    Himel Canucks vs. Freewheelers Brakeman

    All, First time post here, but I've done a lot of reading the last couple days. I'm curious if someone could give me the key differences between the canucks and the brakeman. I find that it's surprisingly easier to find detailed pictures of the Japanese made coat. Thank you.
