Jacket sizing issues; possible help, need everyone's input
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2005 1:56 pm
The topic of jacket sizing in regard to Wested seems to pop up constantly, mainly from new members. I've had an idea that could help answer most questions for people trying to find that proper fit, and I need everyone's help.
I would like to put together a chart or graph of sorts of the specific key measurements of a Wested from one size to the next. What I need is for everyone who is willing to contribute to take the following measurements:
___________________________________________________________
Shoulders: across the back, at the yoke seam, from one shoulder seam to the other.
Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the cuff.
Back: from the collar stand** to the bottom of the rear panel. (** the collar stand is that leather "band" that runs horizontally across the neck at the base of the collar).
Chest: around the chest, just below the armpits.
__________________________________________________________
Additional info I would like to have:
Model: Raiders, ToD, LC.
your size, please state Regular or Long.
Any mods you had done by Wested that may affect any of the measurments.
_____________________________________________________________
I will compile the information and make a page for it on my site. It will be accompanied by photos indicating exactly where the measurements were taken from.
I hope many of you can help out on this. I think it would be an invaluable "quick reference" tool to have at hand. Please don't clog the thread with the info, though. It would be sent by PM.
