Gibson & Barnes sizing

Post by Steve27752 »

I have had two G&B A2`s and a G&B G1 jacket..............................Now, I am usually a chest size 40" in leather jackets. But I am a 38" in the G&B`s.
Do their Expedition jackets come up a size larger as well or will a 40" Expedition fit me?

If you get 38's in their A-2 and G-1, I would stay with that size for an Expedition. I usually consider myself a size 46, but I get 44's from G&B. If you wanted to wear an extra layer underneath, go for the larger size. Cheers

I'll go with what Rundquist said. I normally wear a 48, but a 46 G&B fits perfect.

Sounds about what I thought.........A shame because there are two G & B size 40"`s in the Bazar!..................................Anyone got a G & B in a Dark Brown, Goat, 38" Regular that they want to sell for a reasonable price?

Well, I usually wear a 38 as well, and I bought one of the those 40s. We'll see how this works out. I can handle being a little big, but I may have to have the sleeves shortened.
