    I get that and what others are saying about the length, I just felt it needed a little bit more.

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    I think it could benefit from 1" longer, it felt too high on the back for me to be comfortable with. Even if it is supposed to be that way, for me anyway.

    Final Countdown G-1 Patches Design Help

    Uniform regulations state the distances that the badges and positions should be. (you maybe able to find them online) If I remember correctly, arm badges should be four fingers from the shoulder seam in line with the sleeve line (imagine if you ironed the sleeve, that's the line they are talking...

    Advice needed for first top-tier G-1 leather jacket purchase

    I agree I agree! I don't think my anxiety could handle the unknown and potential disappointment from a Jacket by post. Especially with the cost involved and reliability of the postal service.

    I aim to get there again next week sometime to revise the fitting situation. Thank you all for the advice, I really like the jacket and I suppose I am after reassurance before spending that amount of money.

    Thank you all. Since that picture I have lost over a stone. For my health mainly but using the jacket as motivation.

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    I am 6'1 with a 48 chest. This is a picture of me with an Eastman G1 in size 48. Do I need to lose a few pounds around the waist to make this fit better?

    Need help choosing g1 jacket size

    I am about to buy an Eastman G1. I am on the larger size, chest is 49. I tried on their 48 and the shoulders had room to spare with no restrictions around the chest.
