Confounded by sizing
Keep in mind, that while we list measurements here like P2P, shoulders and back/sleeve length... there's a myriad of other measurements that the pattern makers consider. These numbers are not the be all and end all to define whether the jacket will work for you or not as the other person...- bigmanbigtruck

New to leather jackets — fit/style questions
While measurements play an important role to understand if the jacket lands in your general fit "area", they don't tell the whole story. For instance, how cafe racers are typically meant to fit like a racing shirt vs half-belts which are relatively more relaxed. Especially an Aero 50's which...- bigmanbigtruck

Please opinion on this leather jacket fit
I think most people have chimed in about the jacket size - so won't add anything there myself. Looking at some of the pics, you look to have some spinal curvature: Especially with tighter fitting jackets, it doesn't help as your posture kinda pushes your midsection outwards giving the...- bigmanbigtruck

There's a quote out there that sums this up: Plenty of threads on here about the process, even specific to Thurston bros. Read up.- bigmanbigtruck

Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed
If you read their store policy, you'll see why that is tricky: It's tough to argue that the jacket is "defective" because of this issue. It's not like they screwed up the back - just incompatibility with the OP's neutral posture. Not saying he shouldn't try, but seems unlikely Thurston will...- bigmanbigtruck

Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed
My friend, you're working yourself into a frenzy by the looks of it. I believe OP has explored all avenues at this point - looks like returning this jacket is not feasible. We had discussions as to why the back piece looks off, and the maker himself explained the reason why along with a...- bigmanbigtruck

Doubts about authenticity of Real McCoy's Buco J100.
Still enjoying it buddy. Still wearing it around with it when weather permits (these days it goes to 20C+ which is when it gets too warm for me personally)… gonna be looking forward to Autumn/Fall when I don’t have to worry if it gets too warm lol- bigmanbigtruck

Lost Worlds Buco Rider sizing question
From the product description, seems like it may be just a one-off piece they did. Maybe just design experimentation. Yeah, figured there wouldn’t be much of a point to it. I asked Stuart about taking it out, but apparently it’s intrinsic to the design. Thanks for sharing your experience with...- bigmanbigtruck
