Exactly what I want, fits me in the tighter style that I like & will last me for years. BUT,...that G&B looked so good I ordered one as well. And on Monday it arrived (way ahead of schedule). So now I have a great G&B 38R Dark Seal goat as well.
From not having an Indy jacket to owning these two fantastic examples makes me smile every time I open the wardrobe to pick which one to wear!
Just a few notes for anyone interested
For those after a tighter fit jacket then the Wested OTR in your chest size is a good place to start.
I'm, 5'6",slim build, work-out,do Judo & have broad muscular shoulders, the "classic tri-angle" shape. The Wested fits me great, with enough room for a shirt & thinner jumper underneath if I need it. I agree with those of you who say that there's about 2" added for fit.
The G&B fits me great as well but is certainly more roomier, I could wear a heavier jumper(sweater for you Nth Americans
) underneath but it is still a great fit even with just a tee shirt.Whichever jacket you choose, they are both fantastic example of leather work & if you're like me, just after a good Indy style jacket, then they will not disappoint.
