Hello everyone,
I have recently received the mock-up jacket of the Beck 666 from Greg, and I'm looking for some feedback on the fit before moving forward with the final leather jacket. Here are some changes I'm considering discussing with Greg:
1. The back length seems fine, but the front may be a little short. I'm thinking of increasing the front length by half an inch.
2. The front splay seems a bit short.
3. The bicep area feels a tad restrictive. I'm considering increasing the bicep area while decreasing the wrist area.
4. The throat latch appears a bit oversized, possibly too long.
5. The shoulder area bunches up a bit, which makes me wonder if the shoulder is too narrow. I'm thinking of increasing it by half an inch.
Additionally, I personally prefer a more shirt-sleeve-like, round shoulder look instead of the default squared look that Greg offers. I've noticed that some of you on this forum have achieved this successfully, and I believe it may have to do with a slight forward rotation of the sleeves. If anyone has any advice on how to communicate this preference to Greg, I would greatly appreciate it.
I would be grateful for any input or suggestions regarding the fit of the mock-up and any alterations that could be made.
Thank you all so much for your help!
