Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!
I understand that the 391T is the tight version compared to 391. But since it is possible to modify the specs, does it make any difference that you starting with the customization based on a 391T or a 391? Is there any design/character that further distinguish 391 and 391T? Thanks in advance!
Yes! there are some distinctions particularly in the shoulders, and Chest area right out of the box. I've enclosed two sizing charts to give you an idea of where the standard sizing points initiate. From there, you can customize it and spec it to your liking. the first charts are the Vintage Standard sizing all the way up to 2014, the next is Standard sizing as of 2015 View attachment 307211

To which level of the modification can they do? Looking at the table, my best fit would be an old 391 somewhere between size 40 and 42, with shortened sleeves and length. Did you directly supply all the desired measurement to them?
Perfect thanks! Now really looking forward to seeing your fit picthat's correct. Lining color, Leather choice, zipper tape color either black or beige, the color of the jacket. They offer many colors in their horsehide. The Vegecow is only available in black as far as I know. everything else including measurements can be specd to your liking

Coming to this thread late. As someone who has agonised over lewis leathers sizing (although not the lightning), one measurement which isn't given on those charts is the arm holes.
I purchased Monza in size 40 and had an inch added to the chest (I'm 41, usually take 42 but I wanted something on the slimmer side). Unfortunately the jacket is tight in the shoulders for me and arm movement feels a little restricted. I also can't layer up underneath.
Basically consider the arm hole size when deciding which size to go with. And there's no substitute to trying on in person!
How is everybody finding the QC on their Lewis Jackets?
