    Yeah, this I where I am too after sleeping on it. It's a shame as the look and fit is basically perfect but i can't deal with how damaged it already looks in places. Even if it's intended.

    Thanks for the explanation! I kinda think it has sth to do with Eastmans' "papery" finish (time worn? Broken grain?) as I've now had the weird situation of having 2 completely new Eastman b3's at home and both have the same cracks in the finish. The big one I photographed is covered by the...

    It's cracked lacquer (I think?), so yeah the exposed parts is the actual flesh side of the shearling. At least to my understanding of how B3's are finished. Both the (new) B3's have these cracks so I assume it's "normal". I haven't owned a lacquer-finished shearling so far, so my knowledge of...

    Replacement B-3 arrived, cuffs now perfect and comfortable to wear :) A quesrikn for the more experienced owners of these types of jackets: are cracks like that in the top coat "normal" and just a part of the look?

    And the jacket goes back to be exchanged with the exact same model/same size. The stitching on one cuff is so misaligned that the overlapping piece of leather actually hurts by piercing into the wrist (besides looking sloppy on top of that). Flashbacks to the RMC J24 that came with fresh...

    The inner tag in the map pocket just says 46 so I assume it's a 46 regular.

    Sure :) it's a sitze 46 btw Shoulders: 55cm P2P: 63 cm Sleeves: 67cm Back length: 73cm but falls like non-shearling jackets with a ~66cm length

    Received the Eastman B3 today, very happy with it I must say. I'm 6'7 with a lean built, so off the rack jackets almost never fit me. Wanted to go with a custom Aero because of that but due to the price increase (and a domestic Eastman retailer), this one was cheaper and I figured I might just...

    Concern about Buco J-24 Sizing

    Fun little Update, I decided to give the 44 a try as all the "new fit" measurments indicated that it should work. Well, the Jacket came with a broken main zip and can't be opened at all, so it remains a mystery . (maybe it's fixable, but I'm not willing to take this gamble with a jacket in...

    Concern about Buco J-24 Sizing

    Hope it's okay to revive this old thread. I'm currently eyeing a J24 (or, better, have been eyeing one for years but decided to pull the trigger) but I'm not sure if the RMC version will have a chance of fitting. Sadly, no retailer in driveable distance so asking here can't hurt. I'm 6,7, lean...

Interesting how fast one can goe from "I think ill finally pull the trigger on one customized jacket" to a full list of to-buy's :D Being out of the sizing range of almost every stock jacket and almost the entire 2nd...
