And don’t you worry about grudges about your fathers for that bombing thing. Most of us do understand the reason why this happened, and after all, the Raison Bombers and the Marshall Plan more than made up for that. As matter of fact, it would be more dangerous to walk around in clothings associated with the side our grandfathers fought on nowadays, except for some really specific areas :-/. This is highly subjective - what one person may think is too big, another may think fits perfectly. Some garments are cut quite generously and others are cut quite trimly. If comparing measurements of one of our products to another you may own, some individuals will surely find that none or maybe only one area of measure is commonly shared or remotely close to being the same. Ultimately, chest measure is the most important area to properly fit, then all other areas of measure will have to fall into place. And some individuals who are extremely tall may find that body and/or sleeve length are more important to accommodate than even chest measure. All sheepskin garments with a 'leather look' have a sprayed on finish. This is true of every brand available on the market, and the finish will wear to a suede-like appearance over time. This finish is colourfast under normal circumstances. However, certain solvents on hands or surfaces can slightly damage the dark brown finish in a way that the colour could run. These solvents include: Leather seat treatments, hand creams, perfumes, aftershave, airbourne solvents in spray products, petrol, oils, etc. Seat belts can also 'rub' the surface causing a mark, over time. Again, using the measurements listed for this product and information under the MEASURING GARMENTS tab to understand our measuring technique, add half of the shoulder width to the arm length. For example: If the shoulder width is 21” and the arm length is 25”, adding 10.5” (half the shoulder width) to 25” (the arm length) will yield an overall sleeve length of 35.5” in this product.
