looks good. i'm about to list my lottery large jacket on that auction site. that large was too big for me. i shouldn't have a prob selling it since i'm a power seller w/ 0 negs.

i ended up ordering a large from todd's. however, i'm sending it back for a XL since they run very small. i still can't believe my 5'5 160lbs frame didn't fit well in the large. i spoke with todd today and will be mailing back the jacket today for the exchange.

oh well, live and learn.

edit. i must admit the lottery jacket does look very good from a few feet and in pics.

The x-large looks like a fine fit from the photo. In the shoulders and the length.

Friendly Notice: When you order your TODD's, order your jacket a size up. They run a little bit smaller than the stated size. So if your a Large, order an X-tra large. So on and So on. Do a search on TODD's jacket on this forum and you'll get TONS of info on sizing, ordering, distressing, etc.

todd's link for the standard jacket isn't working yet. he's updating the site. here's the direct link to it...

by the way, IndyFalco is right. however, some people might need to go up two sizes. i wear medium jackets. todd's large was too small. i need an extra large. i'll just get the sleeves shortened.

The only thing I did not like about my lottery jacket was the finish. I got a Todd's and I love it. SA, well made, the finish I like and the right price!

thank you all, i will investigate all the possiblities on todds --- i bout a leather jacket from target ( yes target) and it was a medium a little tight but i liked the way it reminded me of the raiders jacket -- it didn't have the front pockets and it had a front zipper but like i said it did remind me of the raiders jacket--- heres a pick of me in it --- i know don't laugh the precious moments staues are my wifes --- and boy do i look fat in this pic

some company in china that we'll never learn the name of.

i still think the "large" would fit u better.

How does the XL specs compare the large specs?
- Width (armpit to armpit) = 24 inches
- Collar length to bottom = 29 1/2 inches
- arm opening width = 6 inches flat or 12 inches in diameter.
- shoulder (top of arm sleeve) to armpit = 12 inches (flat)

Glad to see you made it, Mark.

I've seen that jacket in person and it's not as bad as I would have thought it to be. Still, I forsee a Todds jacket in your future.

Perhaps you'll be cursing me in time for sending you here. Your wallet will be lighter once you start to see such nice stuff.

Soon you'll want that AB and some Aldens. It never ends.

my size on my lottery jacket are
width=24 in
collar length=291/2 in
arm opening =6in
shoulder =12 in

------i think i would love to get a large jacket --- even if it didn't fit it would make me want to lose those pounds i have gained

indyclone,

I don't see any any diffs from the large I just sold and your XL ?

indyclone · Post by **indyclone** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:42 pm

well if i get a todds large it would be a tighter fit , thats what i hear. but if i get a xl large it might fit me like a large would ?
