Also canuck has the same jacket if i remember correctly. Beautiful jacket
I like this model only with a fur collar, without it the jacket looks naked)
True! I might give them my barnstormer measurements so they don't mess up. It's even harder to make sure the fit would be perfect for some reasons, Leather thickness, And lining. Which is cumbersome to find out the perfect fit
The fur is what makes it special IMO, Clean and stylish!

That is my jacket haha.
It is cut different than the Aero Barnstormer. I wish I had known that as I thought they were the same jacket but they are not. Aero Barnstormer has narrower shoulder at the same P2P, and comes with drop 4 taper in stock spec. SB Montana is cut differently, it's wider shoulder at the same P2P but straight torso no taper. So I ended up having my local alteration shop tapering it. And the alteration job was not as clean as I had hoped. I still have the coat and I am trying to see if my other alteration guy can give it a cleaner stitching finishing. It will have to be a while because he is in Japan.
Love the Horween Lux leather, thick and soft from day one.
FWIW I don't think my mix feelings about the SB Montana was SB fault but me not having the best intel when I made the decision. If you are thinking of a SB Montana you can ask for custom tapering from the factory.
I have mixed feeling on the SB Montana.

Nothing wrong with that coat or the fit (appearance wise). Just my 2 cents. I'm no expert on fit, hang, drape, etc. but no matter what, that's a great looking coat.

Thank you. I might have came off wrong. Was not complaining about SB but my own perception due to poor intel I picked up elsewhere (not from SB, Deb’s always took care of my inquiries well).
What really happened? Why you're not satisfied with the jacket? It looks great
Also the belt could fix the entire look
Any suggestions on what to do when ordering the montana SB jacket? Like adjusting things or adjusting length. Please tell me your thoughts!

IMO, the proportions of this jacket are rather odd. It feels like it's a version of a peacoat, rather than a Barnstormer, but then I'd expect the hem to cover the back pockets of your jeans (unless of course, you're wearing jeans hanging around your hips). The look is not helped by having the hip pockets so close to the handwarmers and the flaps are way bigger than is necessary.
If I'd been putting this jacket together, I would have added a couple of inches on to the body, taken an inch off the flaps, and shifted the pocket entrance down an inch or so. To me the issue is down to a pattern being either designed,, or an existing one manipulated, by someone lacking a basic eye for proportions or who couldn't bothered to go and find out how these things should go together.
