Re: Wested Destiny Jacket Sizing Question

Also take the pit to pit measurement into account, as this will tell you how much actual room you will have in the jacket. If you order a Destiny jacket also keep in mind the shoulders are smaller than on the other Indy jackets. This will directly affect the sleeve length. For example the Destiny in...

Sleeve is the actual length of the jacket‘s sleeve. When I order a jacket I also take the shoulder into account. My ToD is also a 46 and the shoulders are 7.5“ wide from the collar. This gives you this nice overhang on the shoulders and also makes the sleeves longer as they will start below your sho...
