Check out this thread. The first page has DougNG wearing the Cotton Duck Version (JEALOUS!!!) as well as PETEROCK1 and Stewart wearing the Inigo. I am not sure if there are more in the rest of the thread but it is worth a look.

I love that jacket. But as usual, it doesn't come small enough for Shubha.

Customer bought this from me last week.  He doesn't post but sent me these pics to post on his behalf.  I think the fit is spot on.  What do you lot think:

Looks pretty good imo but I would like to see what a size smaller looks like too.  I feel a riders jacket should fit snug.

[Beatle]

Again - whoever this jacket belongs to - this is the right size for you - shoulder fit is spot on * one size smaller and you couldn´t wear this beast !!!

[Dchill]

ok you win….fit=spot on.

[Seul]

Look at the sleeves and shoulders: spot on fit indeed!.. Fuck me that jacket looks brilliant!.. Tell that lad to take a pic of him wearing the jacket zipped up: I bet you it fits snug!..

[Beatle]

Oh - and tell that Gentlemen to sign up - he owns Ironhearts finest and we would love to see evolution process….

[Giles]

Seul,

Your wish…....

Spot on **enjoy ur rider´s jacket in good health **

[Seul]

Def not as snug as I thought it'd be but as Beats said: spot on. Fuckin' A.

Ok.  I'm the guy in the pics.  Thanks for the comments.

I did try the next size down (40) and it was super tight.  Could barely zip it up, and movement was difficult.  This one feels pretty snug, but for some reason in the pics it shows a little loose.  Probably my damn gut.  Anyway, I think once the jacket breaks in a bit and the fabric loosens up, it will look a bit nicer.  At least with this size, I could possibly even wear a thin, light sweater underneath it.  I'm also hoping to lose a few pounds, but since it fits well in the shoulders and arm length, it'll be fine.  I have long arms as well.  Either way, I'm really loving this jacket.

welcome nixage, glad to have you here.  Can't wait to see the evo on both the jacket and those 634s!

[Giles]

nixage,  Phew, the responsibility of "being you" was taxing me.  Great that you joined in…G

[nixage]

Giles, I was trying to be 'cool' and remain anonymous.  lol 
Nah, seriously though I'm glad to be here.  Really cool crowd and I'll be posting pics periodically.

Nixage, that looks very good. How does it fit when you lean forward and the jacket is closed, in an actual bike rider position? To me it looks a tad small for that. One should always be able to fit AT LEAST a light sweater under a jacket.

When it is closed one can see folds leading from the shoulders and under the chest to the center of the chest. That is usually not a sign of something that's too small in the gut area but something that's too small in the shoulder/upper torso area.

But the comfort of the wearer is the final criterion. Some folds might also fall out when the material loosens up. However, looking at it from the picture I would have gotten a size bigger. If you mostly wear it open and don't actually ride a bike, then the size you got is perfect, I'd say.
