1. Not always cost cutting. If it’s from a solid maker, then it’s for shaping purposes as we all have different body types/postures that a one-piece back may not drape on nicely for certain individuals.
Maybe he charged a special price just for you :D
Anyway I figure you saw the price a while back and he lowered it till someone went for it. ~$2K is still crazy tho
Yup, keep in mind I'm not implying you need to spend LW $$$ to get this look. Like @Aloysius mentioned, Schott can get you there. Just remember to use water to help accelerate the process.
This jacket could very well belong to someone here. But just to give you an e.g. this LW J23 looks well worn with beautiful graining as others were pointing out what you may be looking for.
According to the description, this is just from 2 years of riding use (and maybe through a decent amount...
Don't sell 'em short... you're right the photos on their website look horrible, they seem to give their models oversized jackets. But if you explore some threads like WJAYWT, you'll see some incredible fit pics.
like @Marc mndt mentioned, 2 jackets with the same size tag could measure slightly different. There's always some variance due to the characteristics of the panels, the craftsmanship and even the method of measuring itself. Typically makers mention a variance of 0.5" which lines up with the...

Idk about the all caps thing - sometimes I've gotten messages from him with large font, but never all caps.
I live 20 mins...
Can't speak for Theodoros as I've never dealt with him (tho I understand from others on this forum, that they've been able to visit him in person and had a great experience), but that's not LW or Stuart's approach.
He'd rather have you walk away than watch how you walk or ask for a copious set...
Gotcha, I thought it might have been a problem area for you. Kinda like me and my relationship with sleeve length.
Anyway broad shoulders or not, point still stands... if he's unwilling to provide measurements, provide him with what usually works for you instead. With a point of reference...
If you're broad shouldered and have concerns, I would provide him measurements of a jacket I like and ask if he thinks the shoulders would be too restrictive based on that - you just need to feed him some data
I noticed he tends to discount that measurement in particular, but I've found if you...
