Although this thread has not received any replies as of yet, I did get some info from Carrie at TB. I addressed the thread's original intent and also inquired about a Daredevil in TB's Bainbridge leather offering. I've attached the correspondence from Carrie for the forum and to make this info...
Looking to add a slim fitting, moto-style jacket and am focusing on the Daredevil. I own a custom Board Racer that I purchased through Thurston Bros with plenty of help and inspiration from y'all.
I'm pretty damn slim, so no worries about the general fit of the jacket. The possible concern...
Break in would be a beast, for sure. Especially for a lighter fella like me. I'd definitely prefer these boots minus a layer or two! The sole and bump toe are very indicative of Japanese boutique brands.
Addicts got back to me. They mentioned the shaft opening on a 10 (their largest size) is...

I won some Road Champs on eBay about 4 years ago. Size...
If this is the case, nix the brass. I don't want to have to doctor them for the end goal. I'd prefer not to have them "pre-antiqued." Takes the fun out of watching them age!
A big thank you to everyone for chiming in! Too many posts to respond to individually for the time being so I'll address where I am at the moment.
-- Understanding there will be approximately 0.5in of shrinking in sleeve length, I can afford a 2in increase in length to have the sleeve length at...
After months and months of lurking, I decided to pull the trigger on a custom Board Racer! After a few emails with Carrie at Thurston Bros, fit jacket arrived, photos are taken, now to move forward.
The fit of TFL member @Witchtrip's BR is exactly what I'm after. Here is the link to his...
