Re: Bill Kelso Relic Hunter
Per Andy's email to me, the regular size 40 and the "HF size" are one in the same. As for why they're listed separately in the size dropdown, I do not know.
I've also been told that the waist measurement for the 40/HF is 19 1/2".

Re: Bill Kelso Relic Hunter
Ride - I've been trying to figure out the correct size to order, myself. I believe the BK size 40 (aka HF size) dimensions have been posted before, but here they are again (as Andy recently relayed them to me for clarification): pit to pit 22.5 in shoulders 20 in back 23 in sleeve 25.5 in I'm still ...

chest size vs actual pit-to-pit measurement
All - So I've got a BK RH on order, and a poll request for the esteemed members of this board. I'm struggling with what chest size is appropriate for the fit (I actually posed this question to Gorak in another thread - http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61915" onclick="window....

Re: Bill Kelso vs Wested fit
GORAK!! Thanks much, man! Your enthusiasm and feedback on this forum are always fantastic. If you don't mind my asking, what is your actual chest measurement, and how do you find the fit of the BK specifically in that regard? I'm just about exactly 41" myself, so I'm debating whether I'd want a...

Re: Bill Kelso vs Wested fit
Per Andy, some of the measurements of a BK RH size 42 are as follows: pit to pit 23 1/2" shoulders 20 3/4" back height 23 1/2" sleeve 25 3/4" Maybe someone else can fill in the waist size (of particular interest to yours truly) in addition to the front (storm flap) length. I orig...

Re: Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter
Now that's scary Red!
I've got a BK on the way, ordered back on 6/6; hopefully it arrives in the next couple of weeks.
Has anyone else experienced anything like Red describes after using Pecards?

With regard to the graininess and pebbliness you mentioned, did you order the "grainy lamb" or the "striated lamb"?

Re: Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter
Thinking of pulling the trigger while the current 15% off special is still going. I'm wondering if anybody has gotten a BK with the latest batch of leathers? I think this is the third (maybe the fourth) batch...? Anyway, if there's anybody out there that has a new one, please share your thoughts.

Ok now I'm having doubts about the 24" back and sleeve length I ordered, wondering if I should go 24 1/2". My rationale for the 24" was this: 5 years ago I briefly owned a Todd's standard (his original offering) in M. It was, of course, too small on me, so I returned it. Prior to doin...

The recent pics of SL from Dicatania and TenuredProf convinced me to pull the trigger on a hero jacket of my own.

This has almost certainly been covered elsewhere - for new Westeds is the stormflap centered on the zipper, and is the zipper centered on the jacket?
