Hello everyone. Am new to the forum. This is a wonderful thread. Apologies if not the appropriate place to ask, but I am a big guy and spend a lot of time looking, but it's not often I find something to fit my 54" chest. Any pointers on specific threads to monitor? If not, please keep an eye out for us "big guys" and post any findings here.
Well, overpriced resellers aside, here's what I believe to be a beautiful Lesco in Germany. Pricey but the jacket sure does look nice.

I did not let it go! As you said, a bit pricey, but what a patina! Size should be mine. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Thanks!
On another note, how does Brimaco stack up in the hierarchy of standards?

And coming across a lot of Kehoes lately too. I love the front, but don't like the longer biswing cut in the back.
yep, thanks for this. Pretty much confirmed what I thought. I was going to buy the Sportster, I think from you over the summer, but those poofy sleeves had me worried. There's one for sale on classifieds, but still gun shy about the sleeves.Unless it’s their 4-pocket CR, I wouldn’t go for a Brimaco. Hit or miss. They do make jackets in interesting colors.
If I were you, I’d hunt for one of the following CRs— Cal, Bates, and Harley white label Sportster. I still need a vintage Bates. I also prefer the back designs of these jackets over say, a Brooks or Kehoe (though I wouldn’t kick either outta bed).
I don't think the poofy sleeves are that much of an issue. They give the jacket a distinctive look. I think I actually like them the way they are..
