Can someone post a marked up pic pointing out the dart? I don’t see it or know what it is.

I believe it’s these chest darts.

Thanks. That looks to me like the stitching can be undone to remove the darts and add more room.

But the function of the darts is to add shape to an area that has already been given more room. And there’s absolutely no guarantee the leather hasn’t been slit to allow the dart…

Do you guys size down/up on vests.

Do you guys size down/up on vests.

Down, maybe by 1-2 sizes, vest’s pit measurement is a lot weirder than jacket’s imo. If you have ever owned a vest (not a goose down / puffer vest), you’d know.

Not a Blatt. It’s a Guidemaster by Wolf or Guidemaster copy by either Fidelity or another smaller Boston area maker.

Edit - I believe @Mysteryo has the same exact jacket

Good eye. Wolf and not a Fidelity because the belt starts from the back kidney.

This should be the one, unlabeled with three snaps on the belt and same black quilted lining:

Not all Guidemaster belts start from the back kidney panel.

(Edit since you switched out the photo. Not cool)

There’s never been one like you posted with a Wolf label (at least to my knowledge) that’s why it might be a copy and not an actual Wolf.

I briefly owned one of these Women's Langlitz that also had these "darted" details. Seller claimed it to be a "44" and It. Was. Not. It was more like a 38 men's at the most.

Thank you. It’s my third one of these. One fits a bit small and one fits a bit big. Hopefully this one will be just right.

Wow beautiful! This one looks like a perfect fit for you. I want the one that’s too big!! lol

I have a y2 in eco leather and can confirm it's thick and squeaky. The leather is shrunken and has cool patterns in it.

So…they don’t always put the W on the inside pocket then….yikes.
