Do you mean pit to pit? I’m a 40.5” chest and I have plenty of room to layer in it. If you like a fitted jacket I doubt it would be too tight for you. Also if it’s not for you I totally get that too. Not looking to add to my collection without getting rid of something first. I’m a bit of a...
I have another jacket with similar measurements as this that fits super tight this DHW one is a very roomy pattern. Is it the chest you’re worried about?
Yes I did get samples. I liked the Vicenza and Badalassi best. I didn’t learn about the soft grainy steerhide until after I got my samples. Im gonna definitely consider it for my next jacket. My fit jacket came in Vicenza and I felt it had plenty of weight to it. Obviously the CXL stuff is...

Thanks for the pics! Badalassi is a beautiful leather. I think I read in another thread that you had put Gussetts on a board racer. It add much range of motion? Did it add some bulk to the upper back in a good way I want my racer to fit a bit more like a jacket than a shirt and I’m wondering...
The shoulder gussets on mine seem like they should sit lower because they don’t seem to offer any addition range of motion. The sleeves around the upper arm just seem way too large to me. Like they’re made for a bodybuilder.
I have one and can offer my input FWIW. I have the riders bible which is just like the deviant but perfecto style. The leather is soft and supple but the topcoat is coming off very easily. It’s basically peeling off rather than wearing through like I’d expect with most teacore leathers. I...
