Joel, thank you for the link. I just found this board, and the jacket is now sold out in the smaller sizes.
But I am now thinking about buying it a full price. As I haven't owned any leather bomber before, I was wondering if you guys know how this Eastman A-1 fits and could give me a sizing hint. The look I want to go for is definitely very fitted, or "snug" as on the picture on the bottom, as opposed to the bulgy fit on the other picture.
Should I size down for this ELC A-1? My usual size in (casual) Jackets is 40 (39" chest), and I'm 6.1 at 160lbs (quite a slender built). To have a really snug fit, is sizing down to 38 recommended?
I don't live anywhere near a store where I could try on the jacket myself, so I'll have to shop online, and any help will be highly appreciated.
If this jacket isn't really suitable for a fitted, fashionable look, please let me know and I'll stop bothering you ;-)
