I think with a sweater it will work very nicely. There is definitely room for layering. The collar rides up when I sit down which to me signals a too large fit. The back seems too wide for me but I do like the fit from the front so it's a bit of a puzzle.
When it breaks in there will likely...
Yes I would have to agree. It definitely is not a wow fit for me like my a2 was the moment i put it on. With a sweater i think it will be great so it likely wont get worn as often as Id hoped. If anyone is thinking of ordering a Beck from Dave and typically wears a size 38 to 40 and is a bit...

So far I have to say the jacket os beautifully made, the leather amazing (heavier than I expected) and the hardware all looks wonderful. Unfortunately I'm still a bit dubious about the fit.
Ive only tried it on with t shirts as it is very warm here at the moment so it will probably look and...
Beautiful jacket. Im extra excited about your post because Shaul is who i plan to have make a removeable collar for my DD Beck 333 and your stunning jacket sealed my color choice for the mouton. Congrats
3d doctor yours must be the one I posted the link to no? Also can we please see fit pics and if you are getting a collar made can you show how DD did the attachment points?
Thanks!
I think my turn is getting near! I am now planning the Beck in the "new" to Dave seal brown Goatskin. Like this example here. I am very interested in having a detachable Mouton collar made for it. Anyone know where I might have this done? Thurston will only do their own jackets...
Oliver, did your friend get a Beck 333? Dave posted pics of one on facebook and said it was Italy bound. If thats the one (or even if its a diff model) would your friend mind sharing fit pics here?
I only have one leather jacket. I have a few cotton and wools but the Lost Worlds is my fave. I am anxiously awaiting Diamond Dave's call to discuss my Beck 333.
I think it looks great on you. The combat finish must be subtle because it is very hard to see. Great color, great fit, well done!
DD must be very busy because Im still waiting to hear from him and Im coming up on week 8 since my deposit...no matter as the weather is getting warmer in PDX anyhow.
Ive also thought that a jacket made in Essex would be the bees knees. My wallet which is Horween CXL went from a pretty sweet shade of brown similar to cognac and has aged to an amazing patina. Granted its in my pocket and the leather gets handled much more than a jacket but the way the stuff...
