You guys are re-igniting my Addict-Clothes addiction. That IS a good price BTW, someone should nab it. Quality of Addict is better than JG in my opinion, but then again the price is reflective

I'm not mad at this jacket from Clutch Cafe.. (sheepskin and all..)

JG is exceptional imo. It’s probably my most well constructed jacket. I wouldn’t pay the upcharge on Addict for quality difference alone.

Are there any American James Grose stockists other than NMWA?
Was disappointed the Grose preorder was only for shearling this year.

I believe so. The store says returns are accepted as long as it's back in 10 days. And not for store credit either.

Stil on the fence, though. I mean, this pic from behind shows it to be fine. The shoulder width is pretty dead on, to be honest.

And just for ***** and giggles, here's a side by side by with Falcon DR.

FWIW, I think it looks great as is.

Do you know your size in the jacket you want to pre-order? If so, shoot us an email and we can figure out a way to add yours to our order

To me, the fit looks good as long as it's not zipped. Once zipped though, it looks like you wouldn't be able to sit down without unzipping and as you say, probably couldn't reach your pockets if you needed to. Personally I'd size up one and compare the two in store.

The Falcon fits a lot better.

I think the jacket on the right is a size too small for you. It's also a good example of how sizing down can make a person look heavier than they are. The jacket on the right looks like it can barely be closed; the jacket on the left looks fine and is a much more flattering, even slimming silhouette.

i think the FCL fits fine. it's horse so it's probably quite stiff, which wouldn't help the drape.

Got in my Aero BR today, and it's better than I could have expected.

Fit is spot on, and the FQHH is incredible.

Curious if you sized up or went TTS for your BR, found some measures online and the shoulders appear a little narrow if I go for my actual chest measure

I dont think him sizing up to a 40 would make it better. It almost seems like he falls in-between sizes with this jacket. I def could see that the falcon has a bit more room and drapes (this is due to it being lamb/goat?). I am kinda on the fence here. I personally like the way the 40 fits me see
here is me wearing that FCL at self edge, spot on fit, and if you notice right below the shoulder there is a small creasing, i am excited for all the cool folds and etc
