Right, and this is to account for the thickness of the leather between the surface of the jacket shoulder and your actual shoulder?

It would make sense that a shirt s2s would measure smaller than a jacket s2s. So, if a shirt s2s is 18, then a jacket s2s should be around 19 or therabouts.

My most comfortable shirts have a s2s of 19 inches - front measurement, back measurement, doesn't matter, always 19. So for a jacket it should be 20 s2s?

No, the shoulder seams of a shirt are also just narrower than the seams on a jacket. That is separate from allowance for the material's thickness.

As well as layers under a jacket vs no layers under a shirt

Russian truck drivers are total badasses. I know because half of my mother's side of the family is one.

About sizing I guess I'm lucky. I just gave drew a cheap uniqlo jacket that fit me exactly and he took measurements from that. I probably should have went up a size in arms since if I layer much more than a tshirt, arms get constricted. But I got it mostly to wear with just a tshirt anyways.

Really curious what the next design is going to be for that whiskey bomber.

Half of your mother's side of the family makes up for 1 Russian truck driver?

It's a white shirt in the exact same template as the black. Use your imagination.
