I have to say this crazy stuff... Like don't spray your jacket with water to try to fix a problem with how it fits...This is nonsense.
These are M2M jackets at premium price.

Send the jacket back. It will never be the right fit, and the maker is saying this. Plus your fault.I have to say this crazy stuff... Like don't spray your jacket with water to try to fix a problem with how it fits...

Well first, is there anyone besides me saying to send the jacket back? Because I don't see this, nor that it isn't possible.My friend, you're working yourself into a frenzy by the looks of it.
I believe OP has explored all avenues at this point - looks like returning this jacket is not feasible.
We had discussions as to why the back piece looks off, and the maker himself explained the reason why along with a possible fix to reshqpe the back.
If you read their store policy, you'll see why that is tricky:Well first, is there anyone besides me saying to send the jacket back? Because I don't see this, nor that it isn't possible.
He/s,,he has a contract with Thurston, not Thedi, as it stands.
It's tough to argue that the jacket is "defective" because of this issue. It's not like they screwed up the back - just incompatibility with the OP's neutral posture. Not saying he shouldn't try, but seems unlikely Thurston will accept that as the reason for being defective. Worth a shot though.There is no exchange/return on custom items, except that an item may be exchanged under the following conditions:
1) The custom body and/or sleeve length measurements differ substantially from the original custom order specifications. Please note that our custom orders are guaranteed to fall within .5 inches of order specifications.
2) The custom item is defective and cannot be repaired by Thurston Bros. The term "defect" does not cover variations in color, texture or grain in the leather.
I didn't actually read any of Thurstons policies. I only felt like intervening because nobody else stepped in to help OP deal with OP receiving a jacket and not liking it and hearing nothing useful.If you read their store policy, you'll see why that is tricky:

Not trying to defend Thurston here (personally haven't used them), but that is their stated policy. Unfortunately, those are the terms and conditions that were agreed to.
On the plus side, OP can still use this jacket for riding. Nothing wrong with it zipped up.
Go back and read what was written.

It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself
Plenty of threads on here about the process, even specific to Thurston bros. Read up.Like what is it exactly to order M2M?
What you're saying is unreasonable. It's mad.There's a quote out there that sums this up:

If you do this and you're right, you're rightTeddy is a master at his craft.
I have done exactly what he told the op to do soak the collar on my jacket and shape it, He was right
I just soaked another jacket I bought used because the neck was tight.
It's a motorcycle jacket not for fashion
The bottom line is that you’re unwilling to stand corrected.If you do this and you're right, you're right
If you do it and you're wrong, you have a garment you can't return because you deformed it.
That jacket will never fit OP the way it was imagined to fit, as in the way someone else shared a pic. This is bottom line.
There are people who have gotten great jackets. A few people haven't.Teddy is a master at his craft.

What? Did you read the same thread?The bottom line is that you’re unwilling to stand corrected.
Hang around and you’ll learn a thing or two, there’s plenty of knowledge to be taken from the folks around here if you’re willing to listen and stay humble.
Your choice.
You have admitted that you didn’t read the Terms and Conditions that the OP agreed to when he bought the jacket from Thurston and disallows him to return the jacket because he doesn’t like it, not because there’s anything wrong with it.I didn't actually read any of Thurstons policies. I only felt like intervening because nobody else stepped in to help OP deal with OP receiving a jacket and not liking it and hearing nothing useful.
Just FYI... no one said OP measured wrong.
Like what is it exactly to order M2M?
You're right. I never read Thurston's T&C. I guess I just assume it is like in most places that consumers have some rights.No one is attacking you as far as I know.
You have admitted that you didn’t read the Terms and Conditions that the OP agreed to when he bought the jacket from Thurston and disallows him to return the jacket because he doesn’t like it, not because there’s anything wrong with it.
Returning the jacket is not an option, but somehow you insist that he should do that, which doesn’t really help him.
Everyone else here is trying to help him with potential solutions, as returning the jacket isn’t one.
It’s easy to be a Thedi fanboy, he’s one of the Top 10 (if not better) M2M vintage inspired leather jacket makers discussed in this forum, if not the world.It cannot be fixed, and no one who is not a Thedi fanboy is offering a solution.
Well, there's a difference between making a great product and running a successful business. Not the same.It’s easy to be a Thedi fanboy, he’s one of the Top 10 (if not better) M2M vintage inspired leather jacket makers discussed in this forum, if not the world.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with the jacket other than it’s not to the OP or everyone’s taste. That's not an objective issue, but a matter of one’s opinion.
Theodoros's explanation was that it was a feature and he should have known better.
I cant do anything else.
In most places, if you take a standard thing, then customise it, or, somehow modify it from original, you can't return it.None of the manufacturers accept returns once something is customised (unless the measurements don't fit or there are faults). If I want to be sure, I buy OTR or use the fit jacket service from thurston (why else would I buy there). I can't return my customised Porsche ordered online just because the purple on my monitor looked different.
