Hello @puiyc1203 !
I read your reviews on this jacket, I am interested, and I would like to double check a few things if you don't mind :
You tried on a Schott 613 for comparison, could you tell me if the BK leather is more flexible ? It would be great if it was.

Also, I'd like to make sure the size would be right : I am slightly smaller and lighter than you, but I don't mind the short sleeves at all.
I read that you have 51cm shoulders, could you please tell me how you measured them exactly ? So I can do it the same way and be as precise as possible.
Lastly, could you upload a photo (as you did above with the chest size, front zipper closed) showing the shoulder measurement, the length of the jacket, and length of the sleeves ?

Sorry if I'm asking a lot, but I am sure you understand that I am just trying to be careful about my purchase.
By the way, thank you very much for all the work on your previous reviews :)

Looking forward to your answer !

Hi Odium

Sorry for my late reply. I am sorry to tell that I have returned it back to bill kelso and waiting for my refund.
Hence I am afraid that if you do want the jacket, you could go and consult them about it. Probably you don't have to wait for the production.

I have compared with schott 613, I think 613 is more flexible, and as for the measurements, they are absolutely accurate, no worry.

No worries, of course it's even better than selling it away, I understand.

Thank you nonetheless !
