Looked back at all he original thread. TBH it didn't look too big but I can definately see where it would feel that way, especially when it starts to relax. My 40" Bootlegger measures right at 23.5" and you're right...That's a big 40"!Yep, that's why i ended up sending it back, it was huge.... Both my size 40 came in at 24" which is already quite large for a size 40.
All my other jackets are usually 42 or even 44.
Seems tag size has little to do with actual size with these leather jackets.
