First off, the jacket is very nice for an off the rack jacket. Especially one with polyester in it. Really drapes nicely and feels and looks great. BUT…. And this is a big but. First, the chest measurement is not even close. By their measurement I should have gotten an XL but they don’t measure properly. I kindof thought this might be the case so I got the XXL. Thankfully the chest on it fit but it’s not an accurate measurement. Most importantly, the sleeves are so ridiculously short. No man that is over 6’ tall and weighs 190 pounds has arms that short unless they have a medical condition. And of course I am not condemning anyone with unusually short arms but it just rarely occurs in nature absent a physical abnormality of some sort. And, what’s even worse is that you did not manufacture the jacket with ANY extra fabric in the sleeve to be let out. And, you should never ever make a jacket with working surgeons sleeves if the sleeve length isn’t spot on for the purchaser. Never ever do this. Btw, they do not tell you the sleeves are working sleeves nor do they tell you the jacket can not be altered by a tailor. I’ve never purchased a jacket (even a very cheap jacket) that can’t be altered by a tailor to some degree. It’s too bad. Otherwise it’s actually a really nice piece of clothing. Oh one other thing, they should skip the side vents. A ventless back would be much more true to the stated vintage style (1930’s). They don’t tell you it has side vents in the description either. So, all in all, it’s a miss. They do have some cool looking clothing. But I’d steer clear. Sizing sucks and no room for alteration.
