New U.K. member, Wested Authentic Lamb - Size 46

Post by bigmattl »

:D Hi all! :D
My names Matt from the U.K. Nice to meet you all!
Been lurking for a while, great forum by the way,.... 8)

Anyway, with me being into my body building, and being 208lbs, 46" chest, broad shoulders etc. I was worried about getting an Indy jacket for a while, but thought what the heck and ordered a custom Wested in authentic lamb. Size 46.....

at first it felt slightly to big....but then after wearing it out of the house today, it feels very comfortable and seems to fit perfectly when walking/driving/bending etc. Feeling good and looking good are 2 different things tho, so Im contemplating a slight hot water treatment (5 mins shower maybe) to shrink it down ever so slightley....What do you think?

Welcome Matt!

I think your jacket looks good. If it is big it seems to be in the lower area of it. That is maybe it should taper more to the waist?

The length looks OK. If you take more photos take some with your arms at your sides.

Cheers, will do. today i seemed to prefer it open as opposed to zipped in the pictures. I had the straps a lot tighter than shown above, and the gap in the lower area got too tight to zip up, so maybe i need to just find a happy medium!

Looking good mate. 8)
Great to see the UK gearheads growing in numbers. Good luck seeking the rest of your stuff and don't forget, much can be sourced from UK based vendors.
Cheers,
JTW.
