When I met up with HH to pick up the LW J23 he was wearing this jacket. Against all social protocols, I reached out to touch the leather. I felt weird, and am sure that HH did too. But I couldn’t help myself, it’s that amazing a jacket.

10/10 creases and grain. Wish my CR would look like that...
Sorry for the low quality. Taken by a co-worker and didn’t have it in me to say do better haha. And if you ask mask is blurred to avoid any comments about what it says.
In any case this is an awesome 90s Vanson. The really great comp. weight that was a monster to break it but when it does it’s like butter. Perfect for fall days because it looks good with just a tee under it, but not TFL level perfection. But it does look perfect with a hoodie under it.
Lastly bonus points for any nerds out there that know what the symbol on my hoodie means.

Shoulder width is over rated, IMO it is the least important measurement on a jacket.
I have jackets with shoulders ranging from 18.5" all they way up to 21" and they all fit well.
It's a different look, but not a comfort thing.
IMO that jacket looks like it is one or two sizes too large, the fact that you have to cinch it so much is not right.
Even with the side panels out of the equation the front panels are just too wide.
The arms are also pretty wide on you.
Is there a way you can send it back for remake?

This is what I’m talking about over on the Aero Virginian thread! I can totally see this in roughout with western yokes— even fringe... being an awesome design.
Great jacket @casechopper!

Jeez this is depressing, but I'm starting to think you are right. Sliming the torso won't help with the sleeves. I think they should have sized me down one. I don't understand why they are so secretive about their sizing when this sort of thing could happen. That said, when I look at the size chart (https://standardandstrange.com/products/black-deerskin-double-riders-jacket) that SxS used for this jacket, that chest looks to be 3" less than mine. Is it possible they were intending to make me a size 38 and did a 40 by mistake? I emailed them yesterday to see what can be done and am still waiting on a response.
This is why we’re friends.IDIC, of course. And I cannot overstate how much you're my favorite person on TFL rn for wearing this shirt!

I was tellin' y'all back then wasn't I but y'all were making fun of me but yeah. Literally only affects the sleeve length and to a negligible effect as well. You can have 22" shoulder width jacket pushing on your shoulders and 17" feeling perfectly comfortable. It'll pull up the sleeves a bit but that's it.
Cool!!
Just received my B-10 jacket from FiveStar; well-made, warm, perfect fit, tho obviously not 100% accurate to a WWII original. The shell is more of a dark khaki/British tan color that I really, really like. I chose the color of the mouton fur and the knits to replicate a Buzz Rickson B-10 that I saw online (the BR B-10 jackets do not come in larger sizes; need a 46-48). Quite happy with my purchase!
