Hey guys!
I have finally finished my journey in getting a perfect b3.
I got it in the size 44 from one of the local resellers , and that was odd fitting and felt big to me

So, I have returned it and ordered 42 directly from Eastman, you can see pics and discussion here:

This one was trimmer and felt better in the sleeves, and body length, but it was way to tight and uncomfortable in the shoulders. I was told that it would stretch, but I didn't want to take chances, and went back to 44, directly from Eastman.
They were sold out, so I had to wait a bit until they have made one for me, after a bit of wait , it is finally here.
I must say, I feel , that it is a good fit, no more discomfort in the elbows and the shoulders. It is a little long in the body, but other than that, it is not bad at all.
Oddly enough this one fits much better , than the first one, much trimmer , same size 44, maybe the other one was tried on by several people and was stretched ( maybe I got fatter
), not sure, but over all I'm a happy camper.
It is seriously one cool jacket. The level of the details, stitching , color, leathers grain, sheepskin , quality is really nice.
Sheepskin is very soft and very warm. I just took it out for a test walk in the freezing weather, for 40 minutes, no layering up or anything. The only thing that was cold was my face.
Horsehide trim is beyond awesome.
If its correct size, it gives you nice, athletic look. It is not to heavy and comfortable with high arm holes.
I took some pictures with zipped and unzipped jacket, and closeups of the jacket itself.
Enjoy the pictures and thank you everyone who tried to help out with you advice and suggestions.
