Beautiful jacket. You'll need to post measurements to start getting some bites.

Solid advice. Measurements added!

That seems a massive 36...

Agreed. Gibson & Barnes make a nice quality jacket but do tend to cut their jackets a bit big.

Just a piece of advice: you might want to recheck those measurements and advise possible buyers of a realistic sizing. Nothing turns people off faster, in online sales, as confusing sizing. I'd detail how I sized it, and then put that adjusted size in the banner.

Agreed. Those numbers and pics denote a 42.

Can someone in admin please delete this thread so I can create a new thread with better info as suggested by these fine folks above?

Below is Andy Falzon's tutorial on how to measure a leather jacket that might be helpful for you. On their jackets, including their "historical" jackets, my experience is that G&B doesn't size big but rather labels small, if that makes any sense. I have a G&B "historical" Model 43 A-2 that is labeled as a size 40 but fits like a size 44-46 long.

Given current data, the sizing appears consistent with a size 42 long jacket. I haven't a clue why is labeled size 36.

Agreed. I ordered this directly from Gibson & Barnes and was a bit shocked by the cut. Regardless the quality of the jacket is wonderful!

Looks like a great jacket. Might also help if you mention your own height, weight and chest size. From the picture the jacket looks to fit you OK in the shoulders but also looks to be a little bit long.

Contacted Gibson & Barnes about the sizing issue and this was the reply:
