          Congrats @Niro ! Looking forward to seeing some pics. I ended up sending mine back and ordering a smaller size, hopefully it shows up before the weather gets too cool.

            Here are the pics!
            I am just a bit concerned about the fit, especially around the upper arm area. It's a thick leather so i'm hoping it just needs to be broken in. What do people think?

              Upper arms look too big imo, but I am not sure how they will settle down

                I'd say that was one size too big, definitely too big in the arms and chest, and too long overall (although that's very subjective and will depend on your own taste)

                  I think you need to size down two sizes from whatever size this one is. Everything is way too big IMO. Sorry, I feel your pain, I had the same problem. But in the end, you're buying a jacket that you'll be wearing the rest of your life, so you don't want to have any regrets with the fit.

                        When it breaks in it'll be awesome!

                        But I defer to the above opinions. 😃

                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                        Well, I have others.

                          They have kindly agreed to sell it for me through their outlet, so if anyone is interested in buying it then that's where it will be.

                          Gonna take a big hit in the pocket  😞

                            My replacement has arrived. Much better fit I think…

                                  Ok. Finally decided my next big purchase will be a SB leather jacket and wanted to get some of your thoughts on the different leather options.

                                  Options I am looking at:  Burgundy Hoween Warhawk FQHH / Shinki Chocolate / Horween Chromexel Steerhide Brown

                                  I love the Burgundy and the fact that it will essentially match everything, however, not sure I should go a more classic route and get a brown or chocolate offering. I know Black is out contention because I simply would not wear it as much.

                                  Thoughts on those you you that have any of these offerings in a SB jacket?

                                  Thanks!

                                      So if I understand the (new to me) terminology - Clayton gives the best of both worlds. I can get the Burgundy FQHH in a Veg tan leather that is only slightly less thick than the Warhawk and about the same as Shinki?

                                        That's about it.  @Sam  has a Clayton café in black, it's a beaut….... And the Shinki (called variously, Shitsi and Stinki in Japan, that's how much it is "revered") is like USD160 more for the same jacket.....

                                            well that quickly made my choice…  and the words "Water repellent" describing the Clayton leather helps me a bit as well. Thanks!
