The leather is really interesting with these grainy lines through out ( back panel)

Have you checked if these measurements are accurate or are they from the seller? My 48L Suburban has P2P somewhere between 26-27".
Anyhow, I doubt it you can shrink this kinda leather. I haven't handled a LW but I think I know this type of hide. That's as shrunk it gets. The soft, spongy leather can be tightened thru HWT but not this hide.
yes I verified the measurements.. 25.5 P2P, 20.5 shoulders..these are my measurements..

WTB a Premier halfbelt Steerhide brown, does anyone have experience with a premier Halfbelt?
I agree with this—the pattern makes is very square shaped. And those sleeves are huge! However, it does give you carte blanche to drink lots of beer and do exclusively curls at the gym.Going by your pictures, shoulders are not the problem, nor is chest. The jacket is just way too big in the waist/stomach area. I think it's a pattern thing, the Suburban has very little taper through the body and is designed for the kind of guy who brings a 48" belly with his 48" chest. Don't think this pattern is for you.
Why didn’t I see that on the ‘Bay!?!? I’d have also snatched it up! You don’t see these big sizes very often.From EBay, a “new” Lost Worlds Suburban Jacket Size 48, chrome tanned HH.
My first taste of a LW. The measurements of the jacket should be on point for me (25.5 p2p and 21 shoulders) but this jacket fits me huge, And I can’t figure out why?...the sleeves and sleeve opening are way big also. I really like it though and I’m gonna keep it.
Anyone know if a hot water treatment will tighten up chrome tanned leather? If yes, Me and this jacket will be showering together soon.
