? ). And I want you to help me.First of all, it is not necessary to be SA. It will be ROLA jacket, because I like this pattern most (LC is too baggy, for me looks good in very distressed leather only and I want to have it in possibly darkest leather, TOD also doesn't work for me, because of pockets and flat collar)
I'm posting photos of me wearing my washed goat jacket from Wested, to help you see, what I'm talking about.
MOD EDIT Sorry, but the images had to be removed, as we have received reports froma few members that they have clicked on the photos and received virus/worm attacks from the site.
1) It needs to be slim fitted jacket, as I'm slim and tall guy. I think 4 inches of room in chest and 4 inches of room in waist should be fine, don't they? I have 37" chest and I wear 32 size jeans, so 41-42" in chest and 36-37" in waist. What do you think?
2) I don't like the collar in that WG jacket, it's too flat, as you can see it lays on the shoulders. I would like to increase a bit the length of collar stand and width of the collar, so it falls more straight rather than lays. Look at Nowak's jackets, collars fall straight down.
3) I'm thinking about raising the armholes a bit. When I'm raising my hands, the whole jacket raises, and there is squirrel effect (was bigger when the jacket had more room in chest). And maybe bigger gussets.
4) Have a look at the backpanel. Isn't the top of it too wide? I think so. Also the pleats stick out, you don't see it clearly in photos, but they do. Should gaps between backpanel and seams help? The top of the backpanel would be automatically narrower. And more narrow pleats, like 1.25" instead of 1.5" in the WG jacket?
5) I want to have bigger pockets, so I'm increasing size of them from 7.3" x 6.2" to 8" x 6.5" (like in my HH raiders). Length of jacket would be the same as this one, so 27" (26.3" at the moment, maybe it has shrunken, maybe Wested cut it shorter, I don't know, I haven't measured the jacket after I recived it.) And the 7.3" x 6.2" pockets look too small for me, especially on jacket of that length.
I'd like to avoid my (and not only my) problems with Wested's oversized jackets, so I'm going to give them exact measurements of my future jacket. Anything more I should pay attention for?
