Yeah setting up Toj through a bunch of boutiques shouldn't take more than what? A few hours? Get on it, Drew. (10)

Hi Guys,

Just placed an order for an A-2 in black, need help in finalizing the details:

Below are the measurements of a size small Burberry Brit Harrington Jacket that I think it fits me well and my body measurement, I am about 5ft9 (175-176) and 145lbs

Jacket:

SHOULDER 17.5 IN

PIT 19 13/16

Mid 18 1/8

Waist 18.5

Front Length 21.5

Sleeve Length 23*

Bicep 7

Elbow 6.5

Cuff 4 6/8

Body

Shoulder 19.5

Chest 35.5-36

Mid 29.5

Waist 33.2

Front 21

Sleeve 22.5

Bicep 12.5

TOJ recommends me the following measurements according to my numbers:

shoulders	17.5"
chest (pit-to-pit)	19.8"
midsection	18.9"
waist	18.0"
body length, front	23.0"
body length, back	25.3"
sleeve length, from shoulder	25.8"
sleeve width @ pit	6.8"
sleeve width @ elbow	6.2"
sleeve width @ cuff	5.7

I ask to knock off 0.5" to the body and sleeve length as I am afraid that the jacket may come out too long.

Right now I am still deciding whether I should choose Lamb or goat. Also, I would like to go for all black hardwares and zippers, which I think its pretty cool.

Any Thought? Comment? Suggestion? Thanks in advance! :D

Bring this back!

I like both the current gunmetal and the new silver zips more than those, and I think the gussets add a lot even if they don't look as clean. Previous-gen ToJs usually looked a little too square-shouldered to me.

Taking off 5 inches in body length would be disastrous.

To be completely honest, you probably have zero experience with sizing jackets for people, while Charly at TOJ has done it for a couple of hundred guys.

Don't doubt his recommendation. If your measurements are correct, the jacket will fit as intended.

yeah.... I'm going to go ahead and guess he forgot the period and actually meant .5
