Re: Question on a few jackets

I visited the G&B storefront with Tundraraider, and he was kind enough to let me try on his jacket. This allowed me to settle on a size - 44T, same as Tundraraider's. Not as tall as he, but I like long-fitting jackets with long sleeves. Finally got away from work long enough to contact G&B a...

Re: Question on a few jackets

Absolutely! I made the trip to both locations already, but not on the same day, and I wanted an excuse to go again and make up my mind now that Wested is out of the question. I really ought to speak to one of the tailor's at G&B, as the sales associate was unsure as to whether they could make th...

Question on a few jackets

Hello! I'm looking for a non-SA jacket, and I'm frozen with indecision now. I had been settled on a Wested custom LC in goatskin, but now I've read enough to doubt the build quality of the Wested, and I live very near to the Gibson & Barnes factory/storefront. Here is what I'm looking for... - A...
