Storm flap length/Back length ratio

coronado3 · Post by **coronado3** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:17 am

can someone with a size 42 Wested special offer washed goat or a ROTLA special offer in lamb or goat do me a favor?

I would like to know what the length of the stormflap is from the point it connects to the collar to the waist.

Other manufactuers are fine as well - G&B, etc.

I am on the verge of ordering a new wested with a 26.5" back and was wondering what the front length was like on one of these.

Holt? You are the guru around here... Got any info?

thanks!!!!

I have 3 Wested jackets size 42, but they are not special offers, just OTR standard jackets. Let me know.

I'll measure mine. Its a 42 ROLA Special.

I asume that by "to the waist" you mean to the bottom of the jacket?

On my 42 ROLA Special the back is 26.77" and the stormflap is 24.41".
I hope this helps.

sounds about right. i find this jacket a little longer than my others.

As my only other Indy jacket is a Wested 42 Novapelle LC I have no choice but to agree with you G

Though the sleeves fit me perfectly, I always had the feeling the torso was too long

Yeah... This is the kind of Info I need!

Thanks Guys!

I am going to have Peter build me a custom w/ a 26.5 inch back and a bit of extra length in the front.... maybe 25 inches for the stormflap.

Just be way of comparison, my Expo 42T is just on 25 inches at the rear and teh storm flap is just over 25 inches. Expos are short jackets. I wonder what the regular size is - it must be around 24 inches.
