That looks great. How did you get rhe arms tapered? Usually wested have very roomy sleeves?

So if that's a 42, do you mind me asking what your actual chest measurement is?
Thanks

CRB I guess it looks like they are tapered because they are so long 29,5!!
and for your knowledge, my exact chest measurement is 43,7

Hello,
I usually hang out in the whip section but I've been reading up on jackets for a bit and yours caught my eye. First because it's a great looking jacket, but also because I too am a big guy (6' 4", 250 lbs) and trying to figure out how to size an Indy jacket so it still looks a little bit Indy-esk on me has been a challenge and it's nice to see it can be done. Sharing your measurements sure helps a lot, thank you so much! See, even a long time after you post something, it can still help someone :-)

One thing I didn't see, is which model is it? Is it the Raiders, ROLA or Hero? Also, did you ask Peter to taper your sleeves or if that just a function of the length? I love everything about this jacket and hope that when I do get mine (I waited 30 years, what's a little bit longer to get it right?), it will look as nice as yours does on you.
Cheers,

Franco

Hi franco,

Glad you like it :TOH: It´s a ROLA in soft goat. The biggest problem for us long guys are sleeve length, and I think this has worked well with Wested (that you can order almost any length you want ) O:)
