wow that is a perfect fit in my opinion, sleeve length is ideal too

My other Brooks Shirt has lost it's tag, but a 44. This one is tagged a 40. Now to find a 42. I think that would be perfect. these particular Brooks hides are thin skinned but very tough, have a "shirt" like fit. This 40 will do until I can secure a 42 in like condition. I've had other Brooks which much heavier leather and another, in a different style, the same weight. Does anyone make anything in this weight? or close? sorta thin and Crisp.

I've had about 6 Brooks cafe racers, both the two chest pocket and the side pocket versions. The older, chest pocket versions were very light leather. Maybe 2.2oz. The others are a bit thicker. Maybe 2.5oz. I hear that Brooks jackets are famously light. That's why I like them.

What Protein said. And this one's actually in my size! I think it looks great on you Terry. I would love to own a Brooks one day but there's always something else that takes priority. I don't even know why as Brooks are really perfect.

It's too hot for leather today (will be close to 90f later). This jacket is the only one I have that has venting. I've been looking for an armored perforated leather jacket form Vanson but haven't found a good deal yet.
