Hi,

Didnt really know if to put this in classic or denim, anyway:

Going to London for a couple of days and I am rather interested in buying a belstaff leather jacket, either the panther in cognac (http://www.belstaff.com/the-panther-jacket/71120006.html) or the new circuitmaster (http://www.belstaff.com/new-circuitmaster-jacket/71050151L81N0347.html).

I know you should pick a size thats rather tight on your body as the leather will stretch and adapt to the body, but are there other things to think about?
Like both these jackets have belts, where should the belt be on the body if it fits well? (im 6.33 feet so I want to know where the belt should be on the body and when the belt is too high up)

Any other tips or pointers when buying leather jackets/belstaff jackets?
