I don't necessarily agree with that.
My attempts to get a size specification from the manufacturer with this information were extremely unsatisfactory. The jackets would have been significantly too large throughout.
Especially at the hips and stomach, I could have wrapped them around twice.
For average statures may possibly still go.
I am in the process of writing down how I determine the body measurements and translate them into jacket measurements. Maybe this will help one or the other.
In any case, I prefer to give my own measurements of the jacket and not my body measurements.
Of course, then I have to make adjustments depending on the style of the jacket and the material used. But I have found that the thickness of the leather is less important than I thought. I hope my assumption is still correct when I get my 2mm HH, which has the same measurements as the brown one lol
I am NOT arguing on how you spec your jacket.
Only pointing out the fact that I do NOT know how each maker cuts their pattern, until I actually have one, and compared it to another jacket I have from another maker and so on.
So in this case, the chicken can only come after the egg. Trying to tell the maker how to cut his pattern is not relevant to me as a buyer.
I prefer FREE EXCHANGE or RETURN. But not a lot of maker does this. And I think this should NOT be the buyers' responsibility.
