So I am 6"8, around 225lbs with a 7-foot wingspan..I am a former college basketball player so back then this height and wingspan helped.. now in my mid-40s, not so much lol..the first leather jacket is from a company called Straight to Hell.. they make a decent leather jacket with full grain buffalo leather. The accessories are decent, and the finish in terms of stitching and seams is not bad.. more importantly, they had a tall size that benefitted me greatly..the second is a custom RRL that was custom for an NBA player who passed on it.. picked up on a really good deal in NY 8 years ago..the third is a Schott that I have had for 18 years and saw me through many winter storms back in my old hood in Bmore and the last is a suede piece from The Kooples (I had it tailored at the sides a smidge)..

They would not tell me..just that he was on the roster for the Knicks at the time and he was roughly around my dimensions (even though I had longer arms).. The Schott has been through snow storms, sleigh rides, and a lot of exposure to the elements.. funny enough I was more into urban wear when my sister purchased this for me.. I had a favorite Avirex jacket that I had been wearing prior since the 90s and did not want to make that switch.. but when I did, there was no looking back..funny enough in my single years, I remember being at a gentleman club and one of the dancers tried to sway me into giving her the jacket.. I was like hell naaaaaaaaa lol

The Schott surprises me. I wear a medium in Schott, and the sleeves fit between just right and just a tiny bit short on me (in a roughout and a Horween horsehide jacket of the same double rider model, respectively. And I just have a 73" wingspan.
