My wife is having the house cleaned before Christmas so I'm confined to the dark basement, but here's the shots I could take before they took over..
It looked so small when I took it out of the bag, but it fits like a dream, it smells wonderful, it's lighter than any jacket I own save for the Underarmour jacket I have for the warmest days..
I'm not happy at all with the auto-focus ability of my camera, luckily the wife is getting a new one for Christmas.. so just judge the fit, and not the picture quality lol

Holt, mine fits comfortably in the arms; however, I have a feeling that you may want the extra inch since you have larger biceps.

Yes, the jacket looks really nice. The hat and jacket say, "I'm ready for adventure!". The face says, "I hate my camera more and more each day!" JK! ;-) Enjoy the jacket!
Hey, if you're bored while you're stuck down there, you should get some pics while you're confined down in your dark basement. Light a couple of candles and see how screen accurate it all looks!

Piers,
Is it zipped in both of those pics, front & back? The waist doesn't look as snug as the other ToD's when zipped...

no, it's not zipped in the back picture right after the zipped front pic.. I was just trying to get a more focussed picture of the back in that last one..

Okay, thanks. That's what I had hoped the jacket would look like from the back when unzipped, but more snug when zipped up. These pics of the few received ToD jackets are making me feel more & more at ease with the fact that I've placed an order for 2 of them...

That is a great looking jacket and the fit looks nice as well. Authentic brown lamb?

Piers, it looks good.
What size is yours? Could you post some measurements of it? side to side under arm, back length, front length and sleeve length? Thanks

I ordered a 42 with a back AND sleeve length of 26" .. zipped up and laid flat, pit to pit measures 23", the bottom of the collar stand to the bottom of the jacket is about 1/8 of an inch shy of 26", following the shoulder seam from the neck to the start of the sleeve is 8" and the rest of the sleeve is 25" (making the exact size of 33" that I requested.. the wested site says the shoulder is 6 7/8 so I asked for a 26" sleeve to make it close to 33") and the front, measured from the bottom of the of the collar stand to the bottom of the storm flap, is 22.5"

my measurements may not be done correctly.. sounds like we have a close match, except for my burly chest
a whopping one more inch. it's probably due to the spots I measured from
