Tito's was a standard size too...He sold it recently.
His jacket and combination of clothes are one of the most stylish on the FL!I think the most beautiful one I've seen belongs to FL member Sierra Charriba:

I know his was a standard sizing, but I seem to compare all others to his...
My measurements for the jacket should be close to these1
Back 28
Arm 28
Pit to cuff 20.5
Shoulders 20
Pit to pit 26
I have seen a 46 bootlegger for sale on ebay which is said to be 23 from pit to pit.
Also my weight at my goal will be 220 - 230 lbs.
Many who are around 6'2" and 185 lbs wear a 42.
A jump of 45 lbs you would think would go up from 42 to 46.
I will be wearing a 44 suit but I don't know now about the half belt.
Yes I thought that could be an issue, nevertheless I realise I have missed a very obvious part of this process in not asking for the measurements of the stock 44.
Hopefully someone can help...........
Someone who measured a 46 bootlegger as 23" from pit to pit likely made a mistake in measuring or the jacket was labeled incorrectly. A stock 44 30's HB should be ~25" pit to pit. I still think that a size 44 would give you a snug fit and a size 46 give you a bit of bit more breathing room. If in doubt, request a size 46 would be my call if you are in the 220-230 weight range.
Thanks Fanch
That was just what I was Hoping to hear!
25 p2p should be perfect.
Thanks again
