Love the jacket, and it's an excellent fit. That midnight color is really intriguing (and gorgeous). Love that patch pocket too--it adds a ton of character. Will all those sub-tones, I can't wait to see this jacket worn in!

Man I've probably looked at this jacket 100 times today...it's a stunner radz. I keep looking in the mirror, wiping a slowly falling tear from my eye and repeating...

Total newb here, but I agree that the HH looks amazing! Fit is so great that I'm wondering if I should circle back around to that model, instead of the Bootlegger I had moved on to... Anyway, congrats on the successful purchase!

I feel once the sleeves crease up more the sleeve length would be just right. Currently they feel A little longer than my Halfbelt despite both spec’ed at 25.25 inches in length. The hooch hauler shoulders are wider by an inch or so compared to my Halfbelt and probably contributes to the sleeves feeling a little longer.
In terms of sleeve width, they are wider than my Halfbelt. The body of the hooch hauler is slimmer in the waist compared to the Halfbelt but roomier in the chest and shoulders. The arm holes are still cut high in the hooch hauler. Overall, the hooch hauler feels more comfortable right out of the box than my Halfbelt when I got it new.

This is so true...Sleeves gets "shorter" with wear on the CXL.

I was curious is the premier halfbelt was stock sizing or if it was modified? Also, what size is it please? Always trying to get a feel for aero sizing. It looks perfect by the way!!

It was a custom order from Thurston Bros. I changed the length and body length to fit my stature and I incorporated a dustbowl back rather than the usual one piece back. The size is a 40. P2P 21.5, Shoulders 17.5, Hem 20.5, sleeves 25.25, back length 25. The shoulder, body and hem are stock.
