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

[Nerkg]

I can't wait to see what they have once they can get some horween

[Jesselirola]

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!

[hajduk]

the roadster black smooth steerhide!
i am really schocked!
can´t believe it!
it is my first serious leather jacket!
hei! people there are fantastic! amazing com!

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 +.

Nice, Jesse.  Congrats, man.  I have been looking at their stuff, too, recently.  The value seems hard to beat.  Whenever you get a chance, and no rush, do you mind posting some pics?

Really glad to read that you are happy with the purchase.

Cross post from the Chain Stitch Massacre thread.

It's a Detroit in size 48. It's a lot trimmer than the Aero jackets I've seen, and in a lighter and softer hide.

[natehate]

What's your usual size in ih ?

[Graeme]

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.

[natehate]

cool, thanks im long in the torso so id need inches added to the length too thats why i didnt get the arkansa in there sale section too short

[RocknRoll]

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.
