There's a quote out there that sums this up: Plenty of threads on here about the process, even specific to Thurston bros. Read up.

If you read their store policy, you'll see why that is tricky: It's tough to argue that the jacket is "defective" because of this issue. It's not like they screwed up the back - just incompatibility with the OP's neutral posture. Not saying he shouldn't try, but seems unlikely Thurston will...

My friend, you're working yourself into a frenzy by the looks of it. I believe OP has explored all avenues at this point - looks like returning this jacket is not feasible. We had discussions as to why the back piece looks off, and the maker himself explained the reason why along with a...

Still enjoying it buddy. Still wearing it around with it when weather permits (these days it goes to 20C+ which is when it gets too warm for me personally)… gonna be looking forward to Autumn/Fall when I don’t have to worry if it gets too warm lol

From the product description, seems like it may be just a one-off piece they did. Maybe just design experimentation. Yeah, figured there wouldn’t be much of a point to it. I asked Stuart about taking it out, but apparently it’s intrinsic to the design. Thanks for sharing your experience with...

Thanks. Thats pretty close to what I’m getting too. Still wondering what to use the gusset pocket for lol

Hey bro, glad you got the confirmation. It may not smell brand new, but certainly looks that way. Enjoy wearing it. Best looking jacket so far.

I know this is abt the Buco Ryder but what was the sizing/measurements on your Appalachian like if u don’t mind me asking here? Lol

That’s an interesting mini half-belt :D Sorry, no idea what else to call it. Is there a proper term for this type of back design?

I think you need to stop making assumptions about what happens in office cubicles... things can get exciting now and then

I'd keep it simply as a visual point of interest the only time I'd care about the designation is if I was in a forest and switched to my best behavior :)

After seeing Theodoros's response, it sounds obvious what's happened - guess that's what happens when an expert chimes in lol

Maybe not for every LW piece - I'm usually a 42, but figured from the measurements Stu gave this could work. Either way, the die has been cast :D And yeah, this is the same one that was on ebay... although just went for a direct transaction instead and save some fees lol The canvas is...

Got the Heavy Canvas/Denim Lined version of the LW J23 today. This thing is a beast in its own right - weighs just as much as some leather jackets I have.
