: : I got mine 2 weeks ago and I noticed the same thing. I don't know. It's a long way across the Atlantic.
: : : I got my Wested yesterday and like many I have read here it was a little big. They sent me a 44. Is this more common for a reason? My friends say that it is that way so I could wear layers or sweaters underneath but I could probably fit 6 or 7! Who else got theirs big?
: ----- When I ordered mine some time back, Peter asked me if I might wear a sweat under the jacket, and suggested that I order one size larger than my usual to accomadate. This is a good idea since it's not the warmest jacket in the world when it's really cold (I live in Scotland so I am well aware of this!)
: Having said that, how many sizes too big is your jacket? If it's more than one size over, sounds like a possible mis-communication or mistake somewhere.
My first Wested was right on but my second which was a temple was a size larger than I ordered but it doesnt look reciculously large on me.
