was super gutted this morning to receive a very prompt email response from amanda at alexander informing me of the measurements of one of the jackets they have in the sale section
about 3-4inchs to short for me
but very prompt and polite responses
unfortunately now i'll have to order a custom one eventually -
i've one en route, just curious - anyone have any fit pics or feedback on the leather?
i grabbed the dirt rider and had them change the collar to one like the aero cafe racer, curious how the black jerkey horsehide will be! guess i'll know soon enough!
their prices are just too good to pass up!

got my coat and really am happy with it.
smells so damn good, ha.
i like it better than the fqhh (which was lighter than normal) cafe racer i bought from aero that i had to send back that didnt fit.
been wearing it a ton to break it in, well see how long that takes.
ha.
fits well with the SuperBlack Vest over it, so that's a +.

I'm normally a XXXL, but it really depends on the shirt. The IHSH-77 was too big, but the Ventile Harrington was on the short side.
If you check out my posts in the Triple Works shirting section, both are XXXL.
I'm a 46" to 48" in most jackets. I'd say that Alexander are on the smaller side. I'd also need a couple of inches adding, but I'm about 6'3" / 190 cm so that tends to be an issue.

Hey Nate, I have the same issue, re torso length. I've ordered something custom sized through Amanda for a really good price, which I hope will arrive soon.
I recommend emailing them again to see what the options are. They are trying to use up the 'old' labels, so if you are willing to have a jacket made with the 'old' logo they are doing them considerably cheaper.
Also doesn't hurt to mention you're from the IH community; I think they have a soft spot for us!
RnR.

So, I was hoping so some sizing advice please…
Bought the sample 40 in goat, but feel the sizing is a bit off. I have read the arms with rise with wear on leather jackets (does this also happen on super tough goat?), but the length is bugging me. I swapped this for a 38 as it was slightly too tight on the shoulders, expecting the 40 to be a fair bit longer. It is a bit longer in the arms, but not really on the body. So what you think ? Send back? I can't be bothered keeping a jacket that looks silly zipped up. I'm inbetween IH M & L for those interested in getting one, but usually an M and 5' 10''. Many thanks all!

Usually a jacket looks best when it overlaps the belt area, and I don't think that bulkiness in the back will disappear with frequent wear, I would exchange it…
