Shoulder measurement.

One of the posts I have read includes a 'shoulder to shoulder' measurement. I have a couple of questions about this if anyone could answer.
Wested's website does not require this, correct? If you did send Wested this measurement, how did you do it?
Is the 'shoulder to shoulder' measurement a straight line or does it curve up to include the base of the neck?

Any info. is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

This is the measurement I supplied.

I would give as much information as possible. The more the better.

This measurement is quit different from any tailor I’ve been to, and is also different from the way it’s indicated at G&B.

But I’m sure if Pyroxene has used those measurements for his Wested’s, it is correct. But being the 'cautious' guy that I am, I would have both measurements taken and drawn onto a diagram OR include one of the many pictures of the jacket itself here on C.O.W. or IndyGear (front or back, or pockets, collar, whatever...) and draw your measurements on it along with a verbal description.

My wife is amused as I measure and re-measure myself. She cannot wait for me to finally place my order!

Thanks for the replies!

Feraud,
Definately make sure you send this measurement, especially if you have a smaller waist (30-32). Im not sure what size you are, but sometimes a taper in the jacket is necesarry to get a proper fit.

Good luck

Ditto here on that one

Well I have been fussing around like an expectant mom regarding my Wested order. I want everything to be perfect. I think I am going to place my order tomorrow.

I am going to be a nervous as heck when I pick up that phone!

The conversation will go very quick too, and when you are done, you'll think you left something out, forgot to ask a question....just take your time, write it all out if you have to..they were very patient with my questions.

Faraud,

I actually emailed my order to Wested using their online ordering page as a guide. I then added all my measurements, even the ones they didn't ask for, and then I called them to discuss my order and my options.

That worked out really well for me because they had a hard copy of my order with all the options I wanted and I didn't have to worry if they remembered what we talked about over the phone.

I too was nervous when I placed my order, my jacket was the first piece of custom clothing I've ever orderded not to mention that I don't normally purchase outside the US. I didn't know what to expect but it all worked out nice and smooth. The hardest part was waiting for the jacket...
