GB Indy jacket in goat, one size down in T, snug at the chest but what the heck, I’ll treat it as a slim
Jacket and live with it considering it’s extinct

What size is it? It looks ok to me it's just that Indy jackets are usually worn two or three sizes too large and often look like a sack of shit. I also have a goat one as a 42T - it's a bit floppy but I recently wore it as a travel jacket in coldish Tasmania and it really did the job well. I often thought of getting a trim one more like yours.

Fresh out of the box!
Perfect fit IMO, wouldn't change a thing.
Two things i have learnt, when Stuart says "very heavy" he means it, also he is a wizard as far as sizing goes.
I was worried about bottom hem diameter and sleeve length, he nailed it.

Oh yes! Looks bang on!! It must be very close to 5oz, you will love the feeling of it after a week of intensive wear :D

That is perfect! Congrats, you must be stoked. How does the jacket feel when worn compared to your J-23? I am trying to get a baseline to help me decide whether I go for the Leathertogs or another of Stuart's offerings.

Thanks, yep i am very happy with it.
Can't really say much about how it "feels", i have worn it an hour and it still feels very very stiff.
Will post a review in a couple weeks once it is broken in and i have lived with it a bit more.
But first impressions are good, it has roomy shoulders, very well designed/comfortable pits that are very high but not tight even when reaching forward, no binding/restriction in the biceps either which is a common thing.
It is definitely a great pattern, it feels like once broken in it will be up there with my Columbia as far as comfort goes.
One thing i really like is the deerskin lining in the wrists, it feels really nice.

Edit: and although i don't think it's mentioned on the website, this jacket has a cotton interliner and is actually quite warm.

This is a beauty, Carlos! Glad that you chose the Crown zippers. You nailed the fit! IMO this is the most beautiful LW leather jacket. Seems to be 4.5oz...bullet proof! Congrats!
