Now I know what to do…… I will wait until you no longer what your jackets then buy them…

Thank you for the valuable advice. Looking at the measurements, the Real McCoys and The Flat Head (minus the shoulders). Seem to fit me the best. Of course, I’ve yet to try them on.

It’s interesting that measurements do not tell the whole story. Some sleeves measure long enough but when I try them
In it’s super short. And some pit to pit seems good but is quite tight. It must be the pattern.

Hello Friend, hope all is well

I am your size 5.6 around 146lbs, and i am writting as one year ago i was in the same possition where you are Trying to figure out which brand and size would work better for me. I tried many brands ( Real MCcoys, the Flat head, freewheelers, Schott, Rainbow Country, RRL, even lower tier brands like All Saints and some.bespoke with Thedi leathers with one more coming from field leathers ( hehe leather jackets is a deep rabbit hole)

Maybe i can help

I found that toys mccoys, RM bucco , and Rainbow country size 38 fits me as l like trim and short

Freewheelers size fits me slightly loose specially on my waist

The flat head size 36 love how it fits me.but i can zip it up i always use it open , size 38 is similar to freewhelers

Schott Perfecto in lamb skin size S is a greaf slim fit but i found it longer than my preference

RRL too loose for me

After one year triying and learning , i understand why people are reluctant to be conclusive with an advice because patterns are differents in example a J24 very differente to a A2 militar jacket from RM, and so on with the other brands

Even bespoke can be a great reward or a dissapointment

However i would say that base on your pictures and your meassurementa FW size 38 would be the kind of fit you are looking

Maybe you are wondering how i got these jackets , well this channel is a great resource also i follow some ig accounts and sometimes i got lucky

Attached you can see some pictures of me with my jackets i mentioned lines above

By the way that jacket FL you have is beautiful
