sizing

I bought a pair of leather loafers today and need an opinion on the fit. I wear a size 9 1/2, but have uneven feet(right foot is slightly bigger than the left), which I have to take into account when sizing for shoes. In the store I tried on two pairs and had to size down; the size 8 1/2 felt...

I have a 39in chest and 30in waist, but pretty broad shoulders for my height. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a leather jacket that fits the way I like. I am after the fitted/tailored look, but don't want something that is skin tight and impossible to move in. I tried on several Schott cafe...

Hi guys. I need some help with sizing. I was a 38 in a belstaff long way up Montana jacket I tried on a while ago. I am looking at getting a rainbow country leather jacket most likely but I am open to double helix or fine creek also. Here's what I got on my measurements for my body. Shoulders...

I just got my pair of "The Drive" gloves from Gaspar Gloves, but I noticed an issue with the gloves not fitting right, with the fingers/thumb being too long with excess space in the tips. The rest of the glove firs ok, not amazing just "ok"; but the fingers and thumb are definitely a big issue...

I was trying to size myself for a pair of leather driving gloves, and I followed a guide from this site: Gloves Size Guide and Charts I did it the way that site showed with the tape measure around the widest part of my hand. Is that actually the best and most accurate way to measure your hand...

Hello all. Trying to determine which leather motorcycle jacket size to get if my chest measures about a 37. Do I get a 38 or a 40? Wanting to get a true vintage ‘50s made leather motorcycle jacket and want to have the fit that they had back then as well. Any suggestions on what the pit to pit...

Hi Everyone, New to the forum and wanted to get some advice on sizing for a leather cafe racer I recently acquired. It's a Lucky Brand jacket and, while I know they're not high end by any means, I think it will suit my purposes for a comfortable fashion jacket (and, hey, it was free, so there's...

Hi, Currently looking at buying either the Aero or Eastman D-1, especially tempted by the 'redskin' Aero version. Wondered how the brands compare in terms of fit? I like my Jackets to be on the short side and a bit boxy rather than long and slim, which companies version would suit my...

Knowledgeable people share their experience of choosing the size of Nicks boots please. I am not able to go to the store for measurements. What sizes of Nicks correspond to what sizes of famous brands of shoes? Personally, I am most interested in the ratio of sizes to New...

Dear Fellow members, As the title implies, I am currently in the process of ordering a custom ANJ-4 15mm redskin, vicenza seal trims. Despite talking with Aero and the help of their production team, they could not give me the confidence in the proper sizing to take. I am 168 cm - 5ft6 weight...

Was just reading this on the Schott forum and it seemed interesting enough to post here as well as a tribute to her: Our employees, most have worked for Schott about 20 years before the first Schott Retail store was opened, personally this is my 38th year. It is easy when you have an actual...

I'm a hat lover in general and a cap lover in particular, but I'm also, sadly, a rather severe long oval. During my baseball cap days, I wore a size 7 1/2, but that won't work for me with a flat cap, at least in the forehead, which always gives me problem. Anyone have any advice for serious long...

We've noticed some confusion about how Aero's fit, and people questioning why they wouldn't always be the same size in each style, why a size 42" for example will vary so much depending on the style. We've put together a little guide to help with this, hopefully this will be of help to some...

Hi My name is Roman and I was reading a lot about Aero Jackets in this forum. It took a while to make my decision and yesterday I have got a brand new Aero 1930 Halfbelt in natural Front Quarter Horsehide bought from Thurston Bros. After a very nice dialog with Carrie at Thurston Bros I...

Hello, Does anyone out there know how the older "made in New Zealand" Real McCoy's J-100 jackets compare in fit to the newer "made in Japan" jackets? Do the NZ jackets run a bit larger? It seems like they do. I have my eye on a couple used jackets - but, indecisive about which size to get. Thanx!

Hi people, so I've been actively searching for a thick B-3 for over a year now. I've bought a total of 3 but none of them fit correct so I had to sell them all. I'm pretty desperate at this point as I don't want to spend more than 5-600 Dollars considering I come from Germany and have to pay tax...

So I'm going through Thurston bros for a custom Aero BR order. I'm 6'1", 185lbs, and usually wear size 40R. Shoulder width of 18" on garments fits me PERFECTLY. So I got the fit jacket from Thurston which was a medium weight vicenza and the shoulder width was PERFECT, it was a 40R board...
