Yeah, that's what I almost got now, too.

Yeah, but there may be still a mistake on my side by not measuring correctly.

BL, SL and front isn't a problem, but still not sure if I got the armpits.

Hope this helps somehow... Ordered size 42 - measured ~22.5" armpit to armpit, but not sure if I did correctly. - 20.5" shoulder to shoulder on highest point - 18" at the middle of the front at height of chest Ordered BL 25.5", measured 25" (storm flap: 25") Ordered SL ...

Beautiful jacket. Love this pre-dis look!

I'm ~6"1.

So, I got my jacket after more than two years of making my decisions like where to order, what leather I want and which measurements I should take etc. and... *drum roll* ... it's THE leather jacket I always dreamed of. Fits like a second skin. Very thin and light, but still with a tough and durable...

My new Hero in Seal Brown Softgoat should arrive today. So it took 10 days from ordering to delivery. Pretty fast, eh?

Now, I only hope it fits nicely. *fingerscrossed*

Well, there are people out there, who are drinking Kopi Luwak... so it doesn't sound that bad.

Wishing you the BEST possible satisfaction for you (and I've got my fingers crossed for you, too - out of solidarity)

Pictures are guaranteed.

After many hours of thinking, I ordered a Hero in SB Goat on friday. Hope my measurements are correct. *fingerscrossed*

I'd pay extra for this odor instead of the chemical stink.

I've a question regarding the back length. My tailor measured me at 58cm (~23") - from collar stand down to the tailbone -which seems the smallest size you can order at the Wested Website. I'm 1,85m (6") and not sure if this really is the right thing to order.

Thanks for your help, guys. Much appreciated!

I followed your discussion regarding the little extra space these jackets provide. I'm a (slightly over) 41" chest and unsure if I should still order a size 40 or already a 42. Any recommandations from you guys would be much appreciated.

I'm a little bit confused now, because two owners of the Hero earlier mentioned in this thread everybody should order 1/2 inch less of your regular sleeve length.

Got my pants this week and I L-O-V-E them. Was a little bit concerned about the size and if I'd measured correctly, but they fit exactly like they should (usual size 34", ordered 36"; inseam 33" @ 6"1 & 190lbs). Thanks again Todd! http://www.abload.de/img/4bejw.jpg btw: Todd,...

My question to the owners of this jacket. Where'd you measure the length of your sleeves? Wested states that you should do it from the shoulder to the cuff, but due to the oversized shoulder I'm unsure if you may end up with a longer sleeve than you actually need.

How did you measure the length of your sleeves? Like ususal from a jacket (without oversized shoulder width) that fits you or like the HERO is supposed to be (which means measuring sleeves from where they set off the shoulder) ?

Hi everybody! I am so glad to see The Pants finally!! My height is 6"1feet,wear 36" waist trousers,jeans etc.Currently I wear jeans that are 34" on the inseam and they are longer than usual,which means that I will be buying Todds 36"x33" Indy pants.Perfect colour,pockets ev...

My feeling said #1, but I like #6, too.

I'm ordering asap after they've found a pair of 34x34.

This jacket is incredible good looking. May I ask what's on the price tag?

At least I'm unsure now, to wait if the Hero Jacket is going to appear on Wested's site... or to order one via email instead.

We already knew, that you are the hatmaker of the stars.

Kind of a... silencer.

It looks really great on you. Now I've to figure out which size will fit me.

I'm waiting for the next run to spend my money asap on one of the jackets... and to bother you with one or two questions regarding the size.

Incredible work. This looks great!

Congrats, that's a beautiful jacket! The lambskin looks great.

But this is a Panzerfaust.

Beautiful hat, especially the color of the ribbon in combination with the felt.

I second this. It's like a scratch on a knife/tool or even a scar on your body - and maybe it tells a story, too.
