Well I tried typing a reply twice and both times my reply was jettisoned before I could hit send.
in short I tired the SR and the dimension were all wrong for me. 6’2” 180 lbs, 19.5” shoulders. I went with. 44.
I’d up load a fit picture but this site won’t cooperate lol
Congratulations Max, it looks great (on both of you)!
I like how Thedi finishes his leather, looks so vintage right out of the gate.
Out of curiosity, what didn’t work out with the Thurstons experience? I’ve often thought of going through the fit jacket process with them …
I’m curious to know if anyone here has some real world experience with the Chicago jacket from Field Leathers. My questions mostly have to do with how this pattern wears.
