Coincidentally I was about to post some fit pics of a pre-owned Delraiser I recently bought, so here’s some more fit pics to add to @CityHunter ‘s discussion.
I bought a Flat Head cafe racer (also used) about a year ago in a 40. It’s a good warm weather jacket — the lining is very thin. It’s comfortably snug with a tshirt on but anything thicker and it starts to get uncomfortable in the armpit/shoulder area. The Delraiser is a 42, it’s much warmer due to its lining, and it feels very comfortable to wear with anything but it is (as expected) looser in some areas than the Cafe Racer.
So I would appreciate some feedback — is the Delraiser too big? is the Cafe Racer too tight?

Might be letting the two different t ***** influence my judgment but for me the cafe racer looks short in the front and at the sleeves and the Delraiser looks just about perfect on you.
I need the internet to help me. I got to try on the Flat Head Delraiser at Self Edge. This feels good, but something is throwing me off...is it the shoulders? How does this look? I don’t think I can fit a size down, so hypothetically this would be the size I would choose. Thank you, internet.
They look nice, but I'm glad that I grabbed up one of the Horween leather clean Perfectos from fall. The lack of the Good Art snaps sorta takes away a bit rom the specialness, for me, anyway, compared to the previous iterations.Both look fantastic. Thinking about grabbing the A2
I agree with that. I have a 613s which has been my favorite leather for years, and I still think that Schott offers the best value in leather. With that said, I think throwing a Goodart cap on these 3sixteen horsehide jackets would have sent the price over what most customers would want to spend on a leather.They look nice, but I'm glad that I grabbed up one of the Horween leather clean Perfectos from fall.

I bought this from the RRL story in NY and wanted to get your advice on the sleeves. They are definitely too long, but have a corduroy lining in the cuffs. If I roll them up as in the image, they work well enough functionally. If I were to have them tailored they would have to be brought up from the shoulders which could be tricky.
Would you leave it as is or get them done?
