23" front I assume? TOJ measurements always seem too short to me. I think that is exactly the right length for a bomber. I think it's off your shoulder and could stand to be 1/2" smaller there, and could generally stand to be a touch slimmer in the body in order to be perfect but that's more nitpicking, it fits fine.
Nice member tag, lol... "Sookie!" My girlfriend says that all the time, with the Bill Compton accent and everything.
Yeah 23" in the front. If you like that length, you'll be happy to note that ToJ seems to be moving towards longer jackets in the varsity and bomber, having added 1" to them since the original design, I believe.
I actually think the shoulders are fine - or close enough for hand grenades and horseshoes anyway. My posture and the stiffer, brand-new calf leather push the shoulders out a bit when it isn't zipped to the tippy-top. You can see like a 2" gap there at the collar.
I tried it on with a thin sweater last night, and that sucker gets pretty snug in the upper body. I am not completely sure I would be able to fit into the next size down with more than a t-shirt. I'm very curious to see how the leather breaks in over time. Wait 5 years and look for another post from me.
