Ditto.IMO I think you need to break it in and let it become part of you..
Bobcatmvp1 I'm 5' 6" and I weigh 150-160 lbs. Hope that helps you, if you need to decide on sizing.bobcatmvp1 wrote:If you don't mind me asking, what are your dimensions such as height and weight?
That is a good question, to weigh in more of the shoulder and chest area, the shoulder area is good, not really loose, but loose enough, and the chest area has more room zipped up than my medium wings Hero jacket, but again it is not extremely loose there. This jacket is definately different from the rest of my jackets, I think it is even heavier than that antique cowhide leather on my Hero jacket, definately feel like your putting on something thick and a bit heavy. I may ask Sarge what the differences are in a medium, but as many have pointed out including yourself, the jacket has a nice fit. Out of the box the leather is very smooth and silky, so I am guessing it is not going to take much to break it in.gladd96 wrote:That's a tough one. Hard to tell how well it fits by a picture of it right out of the box. This leather is pretty stiff which can cause the fit to seem weird until it relaxes. I would put more weight into how you like the fit through the shoulders, chest and waist. Those sleeves will develop creases and in short order will hit you just about perfect. I'd ask Wings how much tighter the medium would fit compared to your large. I certainly don't see your jacket as looking too large and think you may have issues in the shoulder area with the medium. A lot of it just depends on how prefer your jacket to fit.
I just don't know what is and what is not SA.. I do know if You feel the leather is too long for you just have them taken in But please do not over cut because the arms will just get shorter by wearing the jacket!!IndianaChris711 wrote:Wow thanks guys for your thoughts, I am definately keeping the jacket, Sarge just really nailed the look of these jackets. I may ask him to send me a medium, just to try one on, but from what I am getting from you guys, it look like I have a winner. So its a keeper. This is really a different jacket, maybe I am just not used to the jacket, as someone said the jacket is going to mold become and become part of me. Thanks for your opinions guys, I hope everyone though that wants one of these jackets gets one, just an awesome jacket. Hopefully I can get some better pictures once the weather is better outside.

Wow...wait. If that is your size, I might would opt for the medium. I say that only because I am 6' tall and weight 185-190 and the large is like it is tailored to me. I mean it. I could not get a better fitting jacket if I paid twice what I did and got a complete custom. Sarge is pretty good at returns so I would give it a shot. Once that large breaks in it's gonna get all drapey and then it might look bigger than it does now. It's quite stiff now isn't it? Mine was.IndianaChris711 wrote:Bobcatmvp1 I'm 5' 6" and I weigh 150-160 lbs.

Actually after sleeping on it, I figured I might as well "try on" a medium just to see what the difference is. I contacted Wings and they said they could do that, so I guess we'll see what the difference is, I ordered a medium for my Hero jacket and that is what they told me to order, I ordered a large based on what they told me I should order, I am though just wondering how a medium would fit. Definately will report back in, once a medium arrives. Although I see what you guys are meaning though as the jacket will wear and shrink up in the sleeves. Definately just need to see how a medium will fit on me. Thanks again guys appreciate your guys opinions, hopefully get the medium in soon and report back here with some pictures.Indydawg wrote:Yeah...I think Travis might be on to something there. If you're considering "trying on" a medium, do so. I'd be interested in how much better it fits through the shoulder area, too....
But, if you're happy with it and your parents are, too...well, then she's a keeper!!

Your a wiser and stronger willed man than I am. Once I felt that leather there was no way I was sending it back. Luckily mine fits like a glove. For reference I'm 6' 195-205 lbs and I have the large so I think if you like a more fitted look then you may well prefer the medium. Or maybe I'm just sporting the Chris Farley fat man in a little coat lookIndianaChris711 wrote:Actually after sleeping on it, I figured I might as well "try on" a medium just to see what the difference is.

Indiana Croft, yeah, I know, I probably should have mentioned weight and height to wings before I ordered my jacket instead of going based on my previous purchase which is a Hero jacket. That would be great if you could post some pictures of your medium whenever you get it. I am getting a medium but I am not sure when it is going to get here, I am assuming soon, but probably a couple of weeks maybe. So we'll see how a medium fits, I think it might fit better, but I could be wrong.Indiana Croft wrote:Looks nice, but if your 5'6" and weigh in at 150 -160lbs. Hmm a med might be a closer fit. See I'm in line for an imported SL (or maybe something else, calling Sarge tommorrow about that) and I'm getting a medium, going by their size chart. I'm 5'5" and weigh in at 140 - 150lbs. and by my conversations a medium "should be my best bet. Once I get my jacket I'll post on this thread my thoughts on my jacket.
By the way, not to critize, but are those pockets correct in size, look a bit tall.
Or it could just be me.
My Todds measure 7-1/4" tall and my Wested measure 7-3/4" tall. What do your pockets measure in height, if you don't mind me asking.
Croft
I have to agree Travis. After all my Indy jackets this is the only one that "really" fits me and I wouldn't have known that without getting this one... Which ***** because now I don't want to wear any of my other jackets.Hollowpond wrote:I have written down all the measurements on this jacket, and if I get me a custom made half-belt this year its measurements will be based on the legend pattern.

Wow, I have never seen this pic, and a picture is worth a thousand words my friend! The pocket does look big. Thanks for posting this!Indiana Holt wrote:yeah, they look alittle tall but I think some of the real raiders jackets had taller pockets then the known size from the nowak original copy.
look here. the pockets look HUGE. bigger then a nowak pocket. they look about the same size as the jacket shown above

I never noticed the size of that hand before! It's like the hands in The Science of Sleep.Michaelson wrote:Yeah, this photo has been discussed many times. The photo is a distorted angle due to the forced perspective of the lense. The pockets are no where near that large, nor is the jacket that long.
Want proof? Look at the size of his hand holding the idol. It's the size of a catcher's mitt! Translate that hand to the size of his head.![]()
The distortion isn't terrible, but enough to throw off visual sizing, and only done for dramatic effect.

I have been wearing the Legend Streiated Lamb made by Roz Schott for the past four days and honestly never have liked an Indy -Style Jacket as I do this one...Hard decision.. Striated Lamb one day and Bison the next.. Does not get any better than this.... Sure love this business.KramStaar wrote:I have to agree..
