BS-10 - GOOD ART HLYWD Model 10 Bracelet
-
@Chibs good read! It’s truly a great bracelet and probably a grail piece for a lot of people in this group (me included)
And I agree, the more information and better understanding of fit and feel would help immensely when ordering something in this price range online, and for alot of over seas people international.
Maybe make a size chart that’s measured more accurate for different fits and feels. Like some companies go beyond for their customers. Like if you want the standard (how it’s meant) order this size, over
Sized buy this one and for a snug fit order this.So having the inside circumference would help customers dial in the fit for their liking.
Either way, great it was a happy ending for you, it looks great and its a truly beautiful piece!🤍

@mecken88 Thanks man! It’s tough knowing how something like this is going to fit. Even tougher knowing if you’re going to like the way it fits and feels from a practical sense. Soooo subjective! I think had I known the inner circumference to begin with, I probably would have ordered this 17cm size but who knows? I read this entire thread a couple of times over and that post by Ironheart Germany with a similar size wrist and model A was pretty much my experience.
I feel like Ironheart is going by the artist’s intent with how to size. This may be fine for 99% of their customers and I may be that 1%. Who knows? In any case I think it definitely wouldn’t hurt to have inner circumference measurements on their size chart and let us decide. In the end, this size feels waaay more comfortable for me personally and it only set me back an extra $35 in shipping so I’m happy!

@Chibs great post, and really great you've shared your experience in aid of helping others. The smaller size is spot on and what a peice on your wrist. A lovely gift from your wife. I've been eyeing up bracelets for a while, I will certainly be going for a smaller link and if I go with an IH stock I do have the benefit of trying on sizes in person.

We have received a big delivery from GOOD ART of Model 10 in almost all sizes, see here: https://ironheartgermany.com/collections/good-art-hlywd

@Chibs the jacket is still perfect on my arms, thank you. Hasn't had a huge amount of action due to weather recently. Certainly would be rocking vest version (if it was in stock), looks great on you. Would be helpful if there was a picture of the different model 10 sizes for comparison, I think the 4a would be the one for me.
-
@Chibs thank you kindly for finding that picture, exactly what I was after. I'm assuming the smallest is the 4a size. Never say never at my next IHUK visit, just waiting for top of my list item to get restocked (would be bumped 2nd if vest turned up lol) ..Chibs is the man!

I have a question. How to you guys size those? Just a bit bigger than the actual wrist size?. My wrist size is 19.1 centimeters for reference.
-
We always advise measuring your wrist low and snug and then choosing the size closest to that measurement. A 17cm Model 10 won't measure/have an internal diameter of 17cm; it will be about 2cm bigger and then will fit how Good Art intends on a 17cm wrist: not too loose or too snug. Then, you can go up and down for personal preference.
-
My wrist is about 17.25cm - low and snug down by the wrist bone. This is a 17cm Size - 18cm would be far too loose for my taste, and a 17cm would align more with me, preferring it a little snugger. There is still plenty of room to breathe.

@Graham thanks Graham! I think we have almost the same wrist size and taste for how these should fit. Also have the exact same tattoos. Mine just need to be imagined.
Are you able to put inner circumference measurements in your size chart? If not I’m sure there’s a good reason why. Maybe size variation between batches?
-
@Chibs Congrats! Looks great, and always nice to hear about solid customer service!
My understanding with all GAH bracelets is that the measurements are supposed to be your actual wrist measurements, not the size you would like your bracelet to be. The needed additional length for appropriate droop is factored in by GAH. This is why their product pages list measurements as "wrist size" and not bracelet size. You could translate this as "choose this size if you have a 17cm wrist."

Thank you much @Graham

@Go-For-Chill My understanding as well when I asked GAH directly.
