Plumline has gone all slim fit and poncified. He posted pictures of his new AL jackets on another thread.
I was hoping for a 300 quid bargain, but these are not long enough in the back for me.
Dakota measurements approx for 46" chest
Armpit to armpit 24.5"
Sleeve length 26.5"
Back length 24.5"
Shoulders 20"
Detroit approx. for a 46
Armpit to armpit - 24.5"
Sleeve length - 26"
Back length - 26"
Shoulders - 19.5"
I was told the jackets are a trim cut, which is good news for me. I guess if I were a Plumbline kind of fellow I'd buy 2 sizes up.
I'd be curious to know what fit they do. I'm not looking to buy one, but one of the more off-putting things on their site for me were I looking is the tagline about vintage style with a "modern fit". No idea what that is intended to mean, but experience in the past with other companies has suggest it's not a good thing.

This slim fit thing is still a mystery to me ...
My take on that as a description is like a mall jacket version of an A2 or G1. A bit like an early Eastman I have, it's a 44 with extra wide shoulders for a body builder physique but would fit a British beer belly also like me. Though mine is made from sausage sandwichesI'd be curious to know what fit they do.
