Im not sure on that incoming one. The fit jacket i just checked measures 19.5 across the front band not including side leatherBrad, what’s the hem on this one measure?
My only fear is I’m too thick (it’s the nice way of saying fat) for this 42”. Hopefully I have a bit of ease with the laced sides! 20.5 is perfect but the listing said 19.5...not sure where the laces were set when it was measured...Then fully extended including side gussets is about 22 on the fit jacket @ton312
I think if they used the 42 pattern all around and it wasn’t tapered more you should be good. Mine has room up to 22 it looks like. All my M200 in size 42 had a 20.5 ish hem if I recall correctMy only fear is I’m too thick (it’s the nice way of saying fat) for this 42”.

Thank you for saying that. My primitive understanding of leather jackets was to never ever wear them in the rain, so through my education through these boards I learned that I can in fact use them in the rain, and the CXL has some good water repelling qualities, which is ultimately why I'm deciding to stick it out.
And after handling stiffer leathers like CXL, I realize that for me I really need a tailor fit because like you said, making the same jacket from the same template but using a CXL vs a light lambskin will dramatically change the fit of the jacket. With so much variation even within the same batch, it's hard to nail the fit using a universal template.
CXL leather is a beast so don't worry about rain or snow however I would avoid lighting for sure. This is one of my customers with a 4oz. CXL in a bit of falling snow.
I am not a huge fan of brown jackets, but this one has me thinking. Great looking jacket. Fit looks spot on. Hopefully we get to see this one age. I have yet to handle Horween CXL, I have only viewed pics, I would have to say they stand up to all comers. Can't wait to get mine.
Wow that is a great fit and love that collar!Masaye HH (from a German tannery looks like) in black midweight jacket. Only had the jacket for an hour but I like how easy to wear it is. The leather itself is a mixed smooth/grainy so there's some variations. It's wet/gray here so I'll get close ups next time.
