      Mine is scheduled to be here tomorrow.

      The body length may be a bit to short, but I am crossing my fingers that it falls within the threshold of acceptable length as I love everything about this jacket and have been searching for years for leather jacket such as this.

      Tomorrow has the potential to be life changing or devastating (did I mention First World Problems?)…

        Great comparison @Tempvs ! I'm also normally a black leather-only guy but that brown really does look tempting.

        Nice Dark Side of the Moon also!

          Alright fellas, need some input here.
          My initial thought is I love this jacket. The weight, the feel, the look. However, its slightly different than I'm used to in terms of fit. The body is slightly shorter than I'm used to (and I'm a tall guy), but I know that's that style. However, I think that it works. But given the price tag on this gorgeous piece, I would like some other opinions.

          This is an XXL and it is definitely snug, but I know with time and wear, the stiffness should subside significantly. I am worried about sizing up because while it will give me slightly more length in sleeve and body, it will increase the P2P, shoulders, waist, and opening almost a full inch and I think that may just look too big.

          Any feedback on the fit is welcome.

          thanks!

              I personally think it fits very well. Sleeves and length don't look short to me. As you said the length is characteristic of this style. Any larger and you'd get buckling at the armpits. Approved.

                I agree, the fit is spot on. One size larger would ruin it.

                  Sleeves and shoulders are perfect. The length - I can see what you mean and also dislike too short jackets, but wouldn't think that the jacket looks too short when I saw it on the street.

                    I actually think it looks slightly large across the chest and shoulders, but fit is a very personal thing, and it's also hard to really see the fit until it's broken in a bit and settled around your shape. Regardless it's a beautiful jacket and I know the quandary you're in having gone down a similar path with the black version of this (although ultimately I chose to go the semi custom route with Simmons Bilt to get what worked for me)

                      I think it fits well! Keep it, unless you want to sell it to me.  😉

                        That's a good fit and it will get better as it moulds to your body shape, it's a keeper IMHO.

                            Looks great to me. Maybe take some pics from a better angle.

                              ^agreed, looks a good fit from that angle though!

                                Fit looks perfect! Once it softens, it will drape better.

                                  Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate all the kind words. Definitely keeping this bad boy, I am taking the plunge and wearing it out and about thus rendering it unreturnable. I am excited to break it in!

                                  Sorry about the weird angle, sometimes difficult to get a good one here in the office.

                                  Here are are a few more from a higher angle:

                                        The better angle gives a much better impression than the worms eye view of the first photo's. Looks blooming marvellous. Great  buy.
