IHJ-54-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider's Jacket with Collar - Black (Tea-Core Dye

Could be that measuring again with a soft tape measure for sewing/tailoring would eliminate most of the discrepancy. The one they used looks like it’s stiff and floating above the jacket, so it will probably read lower than the true measurement.

Also, I am not sure that the back panel is pulled taught. If the back panel is wider than the front panels and the garment is measured from the side seam to the side seam, you will get a smaller than actual reading.

He’s also not measuring from the point where the body meets the sleeve.

But apart from that, he's tried really well

Yeah - thx for your input so far. Unfortunately the seller is not overly responsive towards my questions
I’d assume that the yard stick is really floating and that the angle between the starting and end-point of the measurement will also account for a certain amount.
Eventually, 56,4 is just slightly above my comfort level. A 55 ist really snug when closed, but I like my jackets to fight right anyway at 190cm and 85kgs, it’s just about the perfect measures for that. A XL would be too roomy in the stomach and waist area unfortunately.
Appreciate all of your input so far

I'm usually a size M in UHF, if I get a size L in this jacket will it be too big? I want to wear it with a sweatshirt or thermal + flannel

hi team - just wanted a fit check on this jacket please. I think this is probably the right size for me (L).....its fine unzipped like this, and i can zip it up but its definitely on the tighter side of things if i do, and doesn't look as good. I have a bit of a weird shaped body with narrower shoulders but a broader chest for my size, so its always a case of comprising somewhere for me (fitting to my torso or to my shoulders and arms) and i think this jacket is better fitted to the latter as i probably wouldn't zip it up that often anyway.........but just wanted some second opinions please!

[Giles]

Any bigger and we would not be able to see your hands

[pechelman]

Got a picture with it zipped up @korgi ?

I'd hesitate to go larger for the sleeves as well.
