Wested standard Raiders and Special Offer

[mikiejedi]

Hi guys!

I am about to exchange my standard off the rack authentic lambskin Raiders jacket and just want to know a little bit about the Special Offer version.
I ordered the standard in a size 44 and it is almost right but i could probably go down a size to a 42. I have read that the Special Offer is more SA than the standard.
I just want to know how it compares when it comes to sizing, wether there would be a huge difference between the standard 44 and the Special Offer 42, and if i`ll be making the right choice!
If anyone here has one could you please help me out? I want to get it right this time and start enjoying my jacket, especially on these cold Melbourne days!

Cheers, Mikie.

I don't own a special offer jacket YET, so this is only what I think I understand regarding the cut. If the standard OTR 44 is almost right then I wouldn't go down a size for the Special because it's supposed to be slimmer to begin with. Therefore a 44 in the Special Offer would be what I'd get if I were you, the 42 may be too narrow.

Hi dougc!

Thanks for the advice! I posted my jacket back to Gemma today.
I thought the same way....seeing as the special offer is supposed to be a little slimmer in cut then going down to a 42 might be too tight a fit for me, as the 44 standard was just about right. So i`ve asked her to exchange it for a special offer 44 which should be ok. Well i`m hoping to god it is....it cost me nearly $70 (Australian) to send it back to the UK! So i don`t want to be exchanging it again!

Thanks again and fingers crossed!

Mikie.
