Lewis Leathers Dominator - Fit Check

[konadog]

I just bought a Lewis Leathers Dominator in black sheepskin off the rack at The Stronghold in Venice. Five or six years ago, I bought my brown sheepskin Corsair from The Stronghold, and Lewis custom-made the jacket with slight modifications on their standard size 44. This Dominator is also a size 44 and (I believe) the Dominator and Corsair share the same pattern. I love his jacket and am definitely keeping it, but am wondering if I should take it in a bit at the sides. Here's the new jacket and a comparison with the Corsair...

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of really good.

^^ Exactly!

I like it just how it is...

That jacket looks great, they both do. I would leave it just as is

I see no issue with it. Enjoy!

Looks great. Great pics too, what are you shooting with?

Looks really good, you’re overthinking it. They both fit great on you.

Fits you well but it's too long.

California sunshine.

Yep, great lighting, but a Leica is a great piece of kit, too. Jacket fits just fine.

Don't touch it, looks terrific.

The length doesn't bother me. The back length of the Corsair is 25.5", whereas the Dominator is 25.75". Both are size 44. I am 6'2", and the lengths of the jackets are unaltered from the original Lewis pattern. So if you are ordering a custom Corsair or Dominator and think these are long on me, be sure to specify to shorten the length.
