It says so in the text. That big pic is a standard raiders but it's certain that that particular listing is for the slimmer ROLA style, especially as the smaller pics focus on the lack of zipper leather.Heyjude7 wrote:My apologies for all the post but i just wanna get things cleared up with sizing problems

Jude, to reiterate KT, only the "ROLA" ones are trimmer and slightly longer. Be specific when talking about the OTR jackets because they are not sized all alike, and I'd hate for you to get another one that didn't fit. You want "ROLA" specifically. See it's a situation where Gemma could have been confusing your jacket with a ROLA because that sz42 would have a 44" chest measurement, or she has some fancy measuring technique that we don't know about.
I've had jackets altered before (2 now) and from my experience it'll cost you more than shipping this one back. BUT, it may be worth altering it if the washed goat is as great as it seems to be.

OK, that's your call but it includes pertinent info on why he thinks his jacket may be too big and he'd just have to re-explain the whole thing. There's just a lot here that has nothing to do with exact measurements of individuals OTR jackets. Now, if someone wants to come here to find exact measurements they have to wade through his misadventure, whatever just a crazy idea, forget I mentioned it.

this isnt really going to help you decide, but bear a few things in mind when you think a brand new jacket is too big/baggy.
The sleeves effectivley shorten by an inch as the creases set in over the first few months. The shoulders soften and drape to your frame as the leather molds to you, and the jacket will shrink a bit the first time it gets wet.
Letting this thing age, get wet and mold to your shape may result in the perfect fit. On the other hand, it may still always be a bit baggier than you like.
Wow...i managed to be no help at all
