Thanks for sharing! The sizing format was unusual on the Gizemo M43!

I regularly wear US 38, and the Gizemo size 32 jacket ended up being a good fit. I have short arms and appreciated the shorter sleeve lengths on the M43.

I just love good AE sales!..... :) The vast jacket selection there can be overwhelming at times, and one has to really call out to grab my attention in style, construction, and measurements. Well, this jacket checked a lot of boxes at a great price... ;) EDIT: This was purchased from the Tailor Brando store for those interested...


I noticed this exact jacket listed at the Crush On Retro store for a higher price, which included a more detailed description of the leather thickness than AE:

crafted from substantial 1.5mm cowhide leather....

I always wanted a Waldo Pepper-styled jacket without knit cuffs, and now have one on the way at a price I can afford... ;) Very similar in style to BK's Rough Wear Waldo Pepper repro, but with no facings (which I prefer in an A-1 type jacket) or knit cuffs. I'll post some pics after it arrives in 10 days or so :) :
