Wested "Off the Rack" Sizes

[rbinko2001]

I was looking into purchasing a Wested "off the rack" jacket. I wanted to know if anyone has purchased one before, and how well do they fit? Any info would be great.

Thanks.

measure your chest and get the jacket that fits your chest size.

If you get a jacket that is exactly in your chest size, does it fit snug when you zip it up, or are they made bigger to allow for layers of clothes underneath? I am a 42 chest but I want a jacket that has a little room. Should I get a 42 or would a 44 be better? One other thing, do the jackets only come in regular? I am 6'3" and don't know if a regular cut would be too short.

I bought 3 Wested off the rack jackets, and they all fit perfectly. But you have to choose wisely the size.

This is the distressed cowhide:

if your chest is 42'' you can get the 42 jacket.you are 6'3 then maby you should get a 42 long.I think the standard 42 is a bit short on you.

the standard jacket has about 4 extra inches in chest room for movement so yes you should be able to zipp up the jacket and not feeling to snug

the special rotla jacket has about 2 inches of chest room for movement.this jacket is a bit snugger for SA look.

and dont forget,...calling Peter would be the best thing to do before you get a jacket.he is an incredible nice man to talk to and he knows his stuff

hope that helps

This page is really helpful for finding your jacket size and determining if you need a regular or long.

By the way, do the same rules apply to the custom jackets? I'm a 46" chest. I would like to have a little room to wear a sweater or something similar in the winter. Do I need to go with a 46 or 48? The difference could be $20!!!

IANMCCABE, i happen to have your same measurements, can I ask you what your weight is? I'm in the process of purchasing a "off the rack" by the end of the week.

If only Wested chose wisely their pockets - those are huge!

Do you really think the original are so smaller?

[Doctor_Jones]

those big pockets look great. Mine look a lot smaller. Wish they were bigger but it's okay. Can live with them.

Is it better to get a size long to ensure proper sleeve length? I'm 5'11" chest 40, and I debating if I should size L for sleeves, but then I'm not sure if that will make the jacket hang too low.

Best bet would be to order a custom jacket.....that way there won't be any "surprises."

I was thinking about it, but I'm sort of terrified of messing up my measurements. I may need to just call and talk to someone at Wested. Any ordering advice to make sure there are no 'surprises?;

Ask someone to measure you or go to a tailor to get accurate measurements.....Wested can't measure you over the phone.

[jacksdad]

got my 44reg today it's off the rack, fits great except sleeves are too long, so I'm just going take it to the tailor and hem them up a little otherwise looks great.

I know... but it'd be pretty awesome if they could! And make trying to make sure to get the right lengths and measurements so much easier!
