I suspect McQueen was facing same thing as me, his jacket appears to have room enough to zip, but sleeves short, and larger jacket for adequate sleeves would have given him a horse blanket, too, which I cannot blame him for dodging. I note the Westen jacket design actually for Ford, the Hero jacket, deals with same issue and WOULD give me the sleeve length and designed to keep collar off neck where otherwise it quickly gets oily. My old jacket as well has overlong (and even curved) sleeves for chest size...the Hero and my own jacket made for activity rather than basically static with arms at side....in the Westen jacket you first linked I would have needed to go with a chest 4"-6" oversize to get sleeve down over wrist with arm by side so that with arms up or elbow bent or etc that sleeve not much above wrist. Now to talk to Westen about leaving off the tag as to movie use. I liked the movie very much, but am interested in the jacket simply for the jacket itself, collar, pocket style, bi-swing back with side tabs, adequate arm length available, and no knit cuffs...I don't need movie association to sell me on the jacket.</p></blockquote><p></p>
