Solid decision!Thanks for your help guys. As i prefer a little more relaxed fit and may layer a few shirts under the jacket for obvious reasons you see in the background, i will stick with the 42 without shoulder gussets. Once broken in, i think the rear 'pooffyness' will be less apparent. It is a very confortable jacket
Yeah its beautiful i have sample.A tumbled FQHH would be a good medium. It's an easier wear and break-in but has the heft of the FQHH - it also comes with a great grain.
The tumbled cordovan is fantastic. I should really post some updates on how it looks a year on.
Ok, so if I go with a 40 instead of that 42 the shoulder width will go down by .5 inches (across the top of the shoulders), the chest width will reduce by 2 inches (total circumference) and the waist/torso will reduce by 2 inches (total circumference). The waist/torso can be half sized to only 1 inch smaller.
Yeah, i chose a Sheene in brown cx fqhh without shoulder gussets
No internal pocket cuz that bulge was bugging me
Top back yoke
2 zip up handwarmer pockets
2 angled breast pockets
No kidney belt
Antique brass zips zipper pulls??
Liner ? Something for 4 seasons with some flash
IMHO, the shoulders are too large. Can you customize the body/waist to be larger on a smaller sized jacket?
