Have you obtained any measurements on this jacket? (I realize it is a stated 40 size)

Perhaps you could also post the link to the pictures of the jacket.

So, what are the standard measurements for a size 40 Highwayman?

pit to pit 20

That's a beauty

I'm stunned that the pit to pit is 20-inches - especially for a highwayman.

 

[regius]

the highwayman only looks boxy, they are NOT boxy jackets. they are cut to the older style of large arm holes and sharp angle sleeves attachment (like almost all Aero historical jackets), but if you zip it up, the chest fits true to its size, maybe the waist slopes down, that's true.

 

[Grayland]

I wasn't suggesting it was boxy, but the 20-in pit to pit is very surprising. I'm a size 40 and have a LHB in size 38 (22.5-in P-2-P) and a 1930's Slim Fit HB (22-in P-2-P).

I'm stunned that the pit to pit is 20-inches - especially for a highwayman.

I have 2 Size 40 Highwayman jackets (FQHH) and neither of them have a 20" Pit to pit. Both of them are 24" Pit to pit.

I also have a size 38 medium steerhide, Pit to pit is 23 1/2".

I measured by laying the jacket flat, and flatening the side(underarm) panels so they are perfectly flat. Measured side to side at the point where the sleeve joins the chest panel.

let me take a pic of the jacket flat with a rule on it.

i remember how I took it, it makes no sense to measure a jacket laid flat out with the underarm stretched out, i know this is how many people do it, but this is pointless as the underarm area will never hug your chest, the only reason for this kind of measurement is if you want a jacket to be sprain paint on you. so I guess if anyone who's less than a 38 chest would find this highwayman to be too roomy, but again, the way a jacket fits would depends on your shoulder and back width too.

24 pit to pit for a 40 is huge. Most of my 42's are 22.5 even my Aero.

Ok, we may just have to accept the fact if your Aero is an actual order (not from the sales page), the jacket may not measure the same for the same tag size. Amanda did ask for measurments despite the tag size of 42. But, this highwayman IS a stock jacket.

It may not make sense to you, but it is how pit to pit is measured and I find it tells me a great deal about whether a jacket will fit me or not. In the internet age, we have to have a standard measuring system to allow us to get a best guess of fit via photos. Most of us aren't lucky enough to be able to try on high-end leather jackets like Aero prior to purchase and it's damn expensive to return it to Scotland. I'm only asking as I'm interested in the jacket. I'm not a black jacket guy, but the red lining is awesome and I like the idea of a lighter weight HH.

**Don't be upset about the questions; it's keeping your thread at the top.

Of course the correct way to measure a jacket is by laying it flat and measuring pit to pit...then doubling that measurement. If the jacket is made correctly..that measurement includes your chest and back..or anything inbetween. That's why I usually stay out of these size and measuring threads..as some just can't seem to comprehend any simplicity..and would rather measure different than anyone else. No wonder many jackets are sold on..or returned to the manufacturer.

By the way..this forum is getting worse at repeating words in posts. There's a glitch somewhere that has never been addressed...and the poster can't correct it.

Alright, hoosierdaddy, here we go: pit to pit laid flat out: 23.
