Hey everyone I'm new one here but have been weight training for about 9 years. I am 6'1" 235lbs. Chest is probably 46-47", 36" waist. I have trouble buying jackets that fit me properly. Suit and sport jackets usually are too tight in my arms and shoulders. I can't lift my arm forward or they will tear. I have to buy them extra big, which makes me look fat. I then have to have them tailored to get a better fit. The problem I have now is finding a new leather jacket. Everything seams to be made for thin or overweight guys. I don't think leather can be easily altered. If I get a size that fits my chest and arms, it is way too big in the stomach area. I'm not THAT big, so I can't be the only one having this problem. Any suggestions?
Vansons can make made to measure leather jackets.
However, Schott off the rack jackets can be altered, usually motorcycle shops have names of guys that can alter them..
But made to measure looks the
BEST!
Ask at some motorcycle shops about leather tailors if you want to go with an independent local tailor.
