I believe I was number 5 on the list. Funny, I am the only one to post pics,...where are all the Todds jackets???Bogie1943 wrote:It does look a bit big on him but he may want it like that, it is a XXL afterall. I am still waiting on my 38 or small, however they are sizing them, I hope it fits well. Blues, what number were you on the list?
C.J, Well, it's long because of the size being too large. I would say that THIS jacket would fit a size 48-50 very well(I'm a 46), and the length depends on what you like. I'm 5'9", and this is about an 1 1/2" too long all around.Chewbacca Jones wrote:Blues - I love the length on that one. Is that just because it's so big on you, or did you ask for it that way? That's how long I want mine when I order!!! Also, do you know your normal jacket size / inches (46, 48, 50) so I can estimate how a XXL would look on me?

Yes, my suit jacket size is a 46R. I think the mixup was because of the initial sizing chart Todd supplied,...an XXL seemed like it wouldn't be big enough to fit me, so I voiced my concerns, and sent him some measurements.Dr.Seuss wrote:Congrats on the jacket.
Sizing, sight unseen, is always a difficult thing. So, your suit jacket size is a 46? Did you request the XXL?
Well, it is difficult, especially when you are trying to create a screen-accurate look on 5'1" people with a 40" chest to 6'1" people with a 40" chest. This is the dilemma. If I were making sweat shirts, it wouldn't matter.(How difficult is it to get somethinbg around a size 40 when you ASK for a size 40?)
You are right about the pockets. This is one of those screen accurate features that some people won't like.The pockets don't look centered about the storm flap, and the side
straps look very long.
If only IB had my arms, Todd could send the jacket to me. If the fit is otherwise correct for my body, excepting the sleeve length, perhaps IB's jacket could be "reconstructed" with longer sleeves.Puppetboy wrote: My original thought was to simply scale the whole jacket up and down - pockets, collar, sleeve, everything proportionally. I'm re-thinking that now. That will work on some people but not on all. IB's jacket would probably look right on someone 6'4" (and I will need to fit 6'4" people like Dr. Seuss) but on IB some things look out of whack.
At any rate, bear with me while these things get worked out - this is a new venture for me and I'm learning as I go.
Todd did an excellent job making a jacket that fits me like it should. The craftsmanship is supurb. The leather feels nice and soft, and as you can see in the pics, it drapes like silk. The color is really nice, and not nearly as "reddish" as it seems to come up in photos. It is a nice chocolate brown, a perfect balance between Dark Brown, and Authentic.
The cowhide is very nice, I really like the grain. 
I already worked it out with Todd, and I'm sending it back. It's about a size or so too large, AND the cuffs are a little wide, but that was discussed as well.
