@Ian, Fanch & everyone else who's told me to keep it.
Am I missing soimething? Sure, the HB is a very nice jacket but I seriously don't get how this one seems to be the most appreciated. Would anyone care to articulate exactly why? For me I feel like it's half an inch too long, and also probably a little bit broader than optimum. IMO probably a better (albeit marginally) fit on somebody with a slightly bigger chest i.e. 39 or 40 - I am just 38
Schitz, I disagree with your assessment that the 50's HB is too long in the body and broad in the chest by even a smidgen. I also agree with what Pauleway had to say regarding how you prefer your jacket to fit, keeping yourself satisfied, and not buying or keeping something based on others' preferences. Just wish that your 50's HB were a 42-44 Long!
