Freaking great pics, Seul!  I especially love the shot with the denim, not that I'm hating on the duck

And great shoes/boots on the denim pic.  What are those, if you don't mind me asking?

The shoes are Seul's famous German Army Trainers.

Is it just me, or does this jacket need to be made in the SBG denim as well?

Restocked….

I would sell my soul for one of these jackets if presented with the opportunity.

$500 for your soul?

Who would want to part from this jacket? It is a compliment magnet. The best cut of all my IH jackets, I think. I actually cant wait for the warmer season to arrive so I can wear it again and give my AL rider jacket a well deserved rest for a few months. A fucking beauty. Period.

Does this happen to have an internal pocket?

I will own one of these before 2013 ends. So bad ass.

Nope….....(but you maybe able to use the handwarmers as internals, can't remember....)

Thanks, G.

The most outward vertical seams are open, so you couldn't use them that way …

Hi Giles!

I'm seriously considering buying this jacket, but I'm not sure if the XXXL will fit. I've compared the measurements of the XXXL jacket and an XL shirt that I own, and attached pics of the shirt as well.

XXXL jacket  XL shirt
Shoulders       53.1 53  :-\ Shoulder fit on shirt is spot on. Couldn't be any smaller though.
Length           68.6 77  The jacket is supposed to be short. Non issue.
Chest           120.9 118  Chest fit in shirt is spot on. Less free space than opening though.
Opening       111.0 111 I have a narrow waist. I have some free space in my shirt opening.
Arm               72.4 68  I have long arms. Shirt sleeves are actually a tad short.

Questions

1. As you can see from the pictures and the measurements, the chest/shoulder area is going to be the tightest for me. The shirt in question fits nicely, but I can feel it tighten up a bit in the upper back when I put my arms completely in front of my body. Would you say that the action bi-swing will help counter this? I'm basically hoping to hear that the shoulders/upper back will act bigger than the specified 53.1 cm

2. Could you measure the upper arm width of the jacket, approximately on the middle of the upper arm? My arm circumference (44 cm at the middle) tends to be an issue with fitted shirts and jackets like this.

Thanks a lot!

Best to email we me with stuff like this.  I can tag email so I don't forget.  PM's and Posts tend to get lost…

[50shadesoffade]

Gotcha. I'll email you the link to this post then, since the formatting already is right, okay?

[Giles]

Perfect.  When I am not in the office, I can't do that sort of stuff immediately, when I do get into the office there is no guarantee I'll remember.  G
