@resort: I can only tell you what I paid for the suit I posted above, it cost me $1,100, but that was a year ago and as I recall the fabric was on sale. I don't want to quote his prices so you should contact him directly, but I will say I have found Carlos to be very reasonable.
As for your...
Thanks to blethook and scmitty, I'm going with a 25" sleeve that way I think I will have enough room for shrinkage and to accommodate a sweater or hoodie in the winter.
Actually he may have measured from my shoulder to my wrist, but I think I may want it a bit longer than ending at the wrist. Possibly at the beginning of the thumb knuckle. What's your thought?
Ok, I'm new to ordering custom leather jackets, this is my first so I need some help.
I ordered a Hercules FQHH. I'm 5'7" with a 42" chest. My sleeve length is 24.5" these measurements were all taken from a professional tailor when I had a custom shirt made. The sleeve length was for a shirt...
Hoosier, I'm confused, if your shirt sleeve is 34.5" are you saying you go with a shorter jacket sleeve of 26 1/4"?
My shirt sleeve measures 24.5" and Amanda recommended that I go with that length for my Hercules FQHH. What do you think? I'm 5'7" .
@Butte, Thanks. I have an Aero "Hercules" - Heavy Front Quarter Horsehide in brown with a brown removable fur collar on order (from Scotland). Can't wait. From what you and others have said, it should be a big step up from the Cockpit.
Here are some pics of my Cockpit Oil Rigger: Its Goat Skin. Very supple! I love this jacket.
