Re: Bill Kelso vs Wested fit
As posted in the other topic: Ok, so long story short, the jacket is fine. This morning the size 42 measures at about 22.5 seam to seam! Short story long, I took it out of the box, tried it on to check arm/back length was right, then wanted to get started on the fun part... I wet the leather to form...

Re: Bill Kelso vs Wested fit
I'll add my current experience... Just posted in another topic, but might be useful here too. So I'm in the process of trying to get a Wested Hero that fits, the second attempt arrived today. Both the first and second Hero were size 42, the first one fit in the chest and measured pit to pit at 23 in...

Ordered a size 40. I usually wear a size 38 but I have a 40 that I bought from Wested clearance and with the new weight I put on, it seemed like a better fit. Arm length was 24.5 , back was 24. and that`s all. Thank you for the reply! Earlier this week I ordered the SL Hero in 42 with back length 2...

It was very soft and lightweight. It wasn`t until I began to photograph it that I was absolutely sure it was their fabled Shrunken...
