These jackets aren't meant to have 'waist suppression' in the sense that a suit jacket would have. They're meant to sit on your hips so it'd look a bit odd (and a bit like a woman's jacket) to follow the lines of your torso exactly. They're already slim as is.

^ true dat.

I think Drew has said before (correct me if I'm wrong), but the TOJ style (at least for the riders) is having square shoulders with clean lines. I interpret that as slim, but masculine silhouette.

I will keep processing orders and helping customers. Daniel will keep getting your things made and having them shipped out.

Charly says too much waist suppression makes you look like a woman!

absolutely true. You want a \/ shape, not a )( shape

nothwithit, you don't really have an abnormal drop or out of tis world measurements. You are normal.


Then consider the question coming from me. :embar:

This is what happens though with a V-cut jacket on an )( shaped torso. IMO it isn't flattering. Better to show off the width of the shoulders an maintain a leaner silhouette through a suppressed waist I think - it's certainly part of what helps my altered Moto attract a lot of comments (ableit worn open).
