UPDATE Below within thread: I received the XSP leather jacket and I think it fits better. But you tell me!

My NAS experience this year was mostly a dud. I ordered a lot of things, but almost everything did not work out. Mostly for fit issues, fit issues that wouldn't have been solved by sizing up or down.

That said, I did FINALLY find my holy grail black leather jacket!!!!!

I will add pictures later... it's the Calson moto jacket. That everyone else complained was cropped too short. On me, it's perfect! Especially with high rise jeans (which I'm loving).

For years every NAS I've ordered a black leather jacket and this is the first year I finally found one that's just right. *Happy dance.**

I am still debating about the gallery British green raincoat. It fits pretty well (though truth be told the waist could hit just a tad bit higher) and I love everything about it ... except the dang pockets. I wish it had side-entry pockets instead of top entry pockets. I think this one is going to get returned. I want a jacket just like this but that has room in the pockets to comfortably tuck my cold hands and gloves. This one is not it, and sizing up won't fix it as the waist would then be much too low. Otherwise it looks great for a fit photo -- but isn't practical.
