Thank you!It looks great!
Worn jackets are harder to measure as they become more three dimensional. The only way to do it is measure inch by inch with a soft tape. Don't sweat over the numbers. Pic shows great jacket. Enjoy!

It looks fantastic! Great jacket and I'm sure you won't stop wearing it.I welcome any helpful comments. Thanks
Man that looks AMAZING from where I am sitting. That is perfect sleeve length for riding, for me anyway.I welcome any helpful comments. Thanks
A nice comparison, which I would agree with if the manufacturers were produce pretty much exclusively bull's-eyes. I also think that the probability of a bull's eye is also quite high for a standard figure.Speccing custom numbers for a jacket with an experienced maker is like taking public transport and telling the driver how to do his job.
My first ever custom order was a Thedi. My knowledge about sizing and dimensions but also about style (how should a jacket fit accordingly to its style) was very limited.A manufacturer I trust discusses and explains with me at eye level. If he has the attitude that the customer has no idea anyway and has to take it as he sees fit, then that may be okay for many, but not for me.
if I had to name one thing I would change about this jacket, it would be the bottom width. It flares just a little bit and I would have liked the jacket even more if it were one and a half inches narrower at the bottom.
That's because what Carlos said is just true but many people ignore it. A pit to pit measurement doesn't really say a jacket's size and obsessing over it makes no sense because it depends on that jacket pattern or style. Expecting a MC jacket or a half belt or a cossack jacket to fit the same and have the same measurements is a recipe for disaster I think.Looks great. Perfect fit, as far as the eye can tell.
FYI: I never re-measured any jacket upon receipt IF they did fit. Numbers only tell you so much; the "feel" is the crucial factor.
I've never really asked for specific measurements.
My first order was just specified as "size 42 with the length of a 44 and a 20.5" bottom hem"
Everything else was left to Stuart.
The jackets that followed where the same length and bottom hem, but other measurements have changed depending on the model.
A LT/A for example has a wider chest measurement than a J-23 at same tag size.
I think Stu doesn't like to give measurements because different jackets are built around different chest ease numbers.
The fact that you have a 42" chest for exmaple doesn't mean that every jacket model you wear should have a 22" pit to pit.
Not every maker is up to that task though
Thanks! It was a little stiff at first but initial mobility was good. Stuart recommends you go 1 size up in this style because the pattern is slim. I probably could have gone with my usual jacket size but it wouldn’t have been as comfortable and wouldn’t have allowed me to comfortably layer.Looks great! How is the mobility?

How does it feel when you’re wearing it?
