HERITAGE JACKET SIZING

[THEBRUCESTER]

So in my research of Jackets I have come to the conclusion with Japanese brands its best to try on as the sizing is all over the place
my measurements
CHEST 42
SHOULDERS 19
PIT TO PIT 23 BASED ON JACKET MEASUREMENT
WAIST 33
SLEEVE 23

I TRIED THE FOLLOWING BRANDS
-Y2 44 was too tight probably need a 46
-REAL MCCOYS 44 too tight
-FINE CREEK 44 was my size

I am normally a 42 - anyone else experience the need to go 2 sizes up?
The other issue is sleeve length I would need to shorten and off the rack jacket

I decided if I order a Japanese brand it would be Rainbow Country
for the leather and the design of their single rider
But the issue is finding one to try on
I was told by DudsbyDel I would be a 42.

I decided it best to go made to measure and ordered 3 jackets
-THEDI LEATHERS - custom racer Bruciato horsehide
-SHANG-RI-LA -racer Steerhide
-JOHNSON LEATHERS - Buch style racer - steer hide suede

Looking forward to the new jackets

And Japanese made Avirex brand particular Avirex Officers Uniform label tend to be a size smaller than stated so best to have measurements

Or know your measurements really well

You experienced that two Japanese 44s were too small, so the conclusion was to order a Japanese 42? Bit odd, haha.

You really should have just ordered the one, preferably Johnson, and if your pattern worked for you they could use it for the next two designs you wanted.
