I'll add more pics later; I took these early this morning (2AM). I thought maybe it was a little long in length (its a 44T as I'm 6'3") but for my long arms I probably needed it. I haven't done any distressing; I think I'll let it come about naturally. And the hat is a Camptown 1936 Fieldmaster, which I just got from Kaplan.

A bit too long? Could it be any more perfect? :) I think it looks great!
Spot-on colour and fit! And the sleeve length is just where I like it! Congratulations!

Perfect sleeve length. I wish I had a little of that length in my G&B.

I concur, it looks perfect. One thing about G&B is that you won't get too many inconsitancies at all. You know when you get one it will be just like the last one.

I have to agree with the others. Looks like a perfect fit to me.

Thanks I do & thanks for all the compliments :D . I'm glad I did get the long size. I knew the sleeves were good but I know some people like their jacket shorter. So pretty much depends on how I like it. But of course hearing from you guys helps too. I just have to wait a little while till I can wear it again down here.

I'm 5-10 1/2, and I needed a long. I can't imagine someone 4 inches taller not needing one. I do have very long arms, though, which drove the decision to get the tall, but I believe some have felt from the movies that the jacket is shorter than it actually is.

As for the hide, I love the lambskin - mine is goat, BUT - if I was living in Florida, or was less of an imbecile and didn't have this habit of walking into sharp objects like socks hangers in department stores, I would have gotten the lamb in a heartbeat.

The lambskin swatch from G&B is softer and more comfortable than any hide I have seen or touched...

Mine is also a 44T, with some extra room built into the torso, though the sleeves were altered. This jacket looks like it is a great fit, and sleeve length near perfect. Enjoy!

The jacket looks great and the sleeve length is perfect.

You'll have to post pics after a few months of wear for a compare and contrast in how it ages.

Good stuff :tup: :D

I have really want one of the but I don't know about the sleeve lenght. I would need a 44T, can you tell me the measurement from shoulder to cuff?

Go by your suit size. If you are a regular 44 in a Ralph Lauren suit, then that's what you are with G&B. You can always get a 44T and a 44R just for sizing purposes, like I did. Then return the one that doesn't fit right for a credit.
