Selling my Vanson Oxford, size 38, from Thurston originally in their blue bainbridge leather which I dyed black using fiebings pro leather dye. Only minor issue is the fold on the top of the zipper tape came loose, but the actual tape is still completely attached. I’m selling this for cheap...

I feel the sleeves are too short too

Just placed an order for their Chicago in size 40. Does anyone here have this model/size and can post its measurements?

Aero’s are still around $1000 for us in America. This price is before any leather upgrades or options. I would suggest that the op buys a sheene which is already patterned with an aggressive taper.

Just received my Hendrik’s the other day after a 20 month wait. Quality is about on par with my other Wesco’s. Nothing totally egregious but stitching and symmetry could be better. Only mistake they made was to add toe caps when asked not to. There’s no way I’m having them remade and waiting...

I would size down as long as you aren’t going to be wearing heavy sweaters underneath.

Can you also post waist and bottom hem measurements?

There are sold.

I am built like the OP with a 9in drop and broad shoulders too and have gone through about a dozen “custom” jackets to find a good fit. I’m of the mindset now of buying a stock size that fits in the chest and shoulders and sending it off to Carrie or JL to tailor the torso and hem. It’ll cost...

Does FL usually take awhile to respond to emails? Is it best to dm them on IG?

I can’t tell any difference in warmth between my goatskin and cowhide jackets. It comes down to lining and what you are wearing underneath.

That sucks. There is no excuse for these companies to not check the boots against the order. What did they mess up on?

Back, hem, and sleeves too long in relation to chest size

What’s the bottom hem measurement? Also, the chest seems pretty small for a size 42. My size 42 BR has a 22.5” chest measurement.

I ordered mine April 22, so I guess 3 months to go. I asked for a change to my order a month ago and was told it was too late, so I assume they sew the uppers and then they sit for months before bottoming?
