I can say, I'm not heartbroken at all to still have it. I love this leather. A senior woman approached me recently and told me it looked "marvelous" and wondered where she could get one for her husband. Ha ha.
Need to raise funds, so I'm selling my recently made (fall 2022) Bootlegger.

Hi there. Sorry for my confusion but I'm having trouble seeing your measurements. In some for instance the pit measurement looks like 24, another 26.
Can you say what the P2P, shoulder, sleeve, and bottom hem measurements are?
I forgot to mention, it's tagged a 42, and I asked for the sleeves from a 44 Bootlegger. They have 8.75" biceps. If you look at my pic in the first post, those sleeves are 8.25 and too tight.
Well, it came and I'm happy.
The collar folded or something in transit, so it won't lay flat just yet. The rest is loosening quickly; break in is much harder with selvedge jeans.
I wanted a fit that could give me a bit of room for a light sweater, but still get away with a t-shirt. I wasn't...
It looks actually like he had a bad experience, so I doubt he's shilling.
I never wound up buying or anything myself. I decided if I wanted any more Pakistani jackets I'd just go with Five Star again.
Thanks Will. As mentioned earlier in the thread, although you might find the right chest size, the sleeves and length are issues. 24". Blast it.
Arms and torsos weren't shorter 80 years ago...it was likely the style, with long gloves.
