      @ARNC ...Thank those gods for the mismatched zippers? 😬

        It’s here! I love the style, execution and unexpected multi sensory experience ( the smell and the little creaks when I move).

        Not 100% sure on the sizing so would appreciate honest thoughts. Over just a heavy tee it feels good open and a little snug zipped (not restrictive though so maybe it just needs to soften up a bit). I can comfortably add a 9oz flannel underneath open but maybe not zipped. I’m most likely to wear it over just a tee and/or open, so I’m inclined to stick with this size (+1 might well feel a bit too big).

        Anyway, here’s some pics:

          @ARNC Perfect fit and honestly could not get any better unless it was made custom for you. Even then, it might not be as good.

          Enjoy!! 🙂

              @ARNC it's hard to find a leather jacket that fits better than that.

              The arms, length, chest, and shoulders all look perfect.

                Thanks @goosehd @Daniel-San @DrPat! At the moment I think it looks great but I’m still getting used to how it feels. I’ve seen comments on the threads for previous iterations of these jackets that they feel smaller than they really are at first and that going too big initially is a mistake, so I think I’m good. Appreciate having confirmation that I’m not deluding myself!

                  It’s that horse hide thing , it just takes time to mould. feels strange when new cause it’s so stubborn even worse than a Lefty 😂
                  But this will significantly change after some wear.

                    @Daniel-San thanks. I haven’t experienced the lefty yet, but makes sense. It also ties in with my decision to go with dimensions similar to my type iii jackets (and this is the point I should probably give a nod to @Bailey for pre-sale guidance).

                                    @ARNC looks perfect to me. Any bigger and some of the proportions will be off. Got to try this on the other day and ‘that’s a f*cking jacket’ was the general consensus 🙌
