I bought a stock 42L from FC about a year ago that is way smaller than I thought. Excepted the risk of on-line buying. but definitely disappointed. Saving it for my 10 year old son. Should fit him in 2 years.

Anything less, and there's still going to be some question, and some lost sales, regardless of who's in the right.
Exactly.

Please contact us at 800-766-4165 or email us at customerservice@foxcreekleather.com if you would like to discuss options, or have any questions that we can answer for you.
I do appreciate your thoughtful reply to my comments.

I'm just one of those odd shapes, and with shipping back and forth I just think I'm going to need to go local where I can try stuff on. It just gets to expensive after a point.

Like I said though, it was a nice jacket.

Yeah, we are not chaps wearing people which is why I am glad you have the overpants.

I will chime in here with my experience with FCL. I have purchased 2 leather jackets, 1 pair of chaps, 4 pair of gloves, 4 belts, 1 vest... I think that is all. Never had any issues. I did order the wrong size once, my mistake. They sent me the right size out that day and just asked I send the wrong sized jacket back when I got the new one they sent out. That is customer service you don't find often. I will be buying another vest from them shortly and I swear by their quality and customer service.

Keep up the good work, FCL.

That was my experience as well. I ordered according to their measurements and it was too small. My mistake though because I did not take into account the armor. Gave them a call and they sent a larger size and I sent the original back. No hassles no problems. Granted it wasn't a custom order but I will buy from them again and I have recommended their products to many others who have been very impressed with the styling and quality of my jacket.
