Fit looks good. Looks too short in the photos, but my guess is that it isn't and that it would look better if you tucked your shirt in.
I agree that the untucked t-shirt looks a bit sloppy in the pictures and it isn't how I would normally wear it, it was just what I already had on when trying out the jacket. The jacket length is more like that of vintage jackets, I find. This length is perfect in my opinion, my natural waist is right between the back belt and the hem, so it follows the natural lines of my body.
Hello Hasslein, welcome to the FL, and thanks for the review! Your jacket came out very well indeed, and the color is exceptional. Am I right to assume that the color is Havana brown?
I'm personally waiting for Deborah to answer my Email, and then I'll be placing my order. I'm purchasing a size 42 Vintage Half Belt in CXL Havana brown, and I'll be making a few modifications such as opting for different style chest pockets (I'd like two), and a couple of measurement adjustments. I also sourced some bright red 100% cupro Bemberg lining, and super strong brown Sevylt pocketing material, and I'm hoping that SB will use it instead of their usual offerings.
How's the jacket breaking in period going for you? I've read that it takes a while, but is not as bad as CXL horsehide. I don't intend to assist mine in any way, although I would be tempted to go outside with it on when it's raining.
Congratulations on a great jacket choice... As far as your English is concerned, I don't think that anyone on the forum will have difficulty ready your post, as it's excellent!
Best wishes!
