Grand Prix Jaccket group buy update info!

[rdane]

Just got the sample jackets in from Dom. They are pretty cool.

There will be no more sizes changes after Monday 2/28 12PM. Here is my take on it after trying them on.

Grand Prix Le Mans and the Original Grand Prix fit true to American sizing. I wear a XL in most things...6'1" and 215#. These fit me true to size.

The XXLs in the Originals they are too big even with a sweater. Buy one size up if you are looking for a baggy look

The GP Racing Trueblue fits really small. One size up may do it if you are a really skinny guy. I suspect I'd need two sizes up on the Trueblue. But only guessing as the XL is way too small. The Trueblue XL Feels like a medium jacket for American sizing. From Dom's numbers I doubt a XXL would fit me.. but it would be "tight".

Leather jackets are the Original GP cut so they should also be true to American sizing.

I tried all these on with a long sleeved cotton polo shirt of medium weight.

If you have made a size change already, I have it. If you need to change now please send messages ONLY to my personal email. PM's on jackets will be ignored as I can't easily copy them.

Don't forget to include your pay pal address and group buy # in the email or I won't be able to track your order.

These will be worth the wait I think. Measure twice, buy once

Thanks for the info! I've been sitting here with my favorite 42R leather jacket and a tape measure trying to see how they compared. That's just what I needed.

Oh, thanks for rubbing it in to those who didn't get in on the buy fast enough

Hey, how about a GPJWDP? I'll leave that up to your imagination.

[rdane]

Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this....

Hey RD, what about the sizes for Ladies? Did I miss them? I ordered one but want to make sure I ordered the right size. Thx.

[rdane]

Sorry I can't tell you anything on ladies sizes.

[12own911]

Ok... I will assume they are the same as mens and order one size up

[poorb0yw]

Thanks again for doing this dane.

Looks like I'll be sticking with the medium.

I have updated my sizing from XXL's to XL's and sent you an e-mail.
Thanks again for arranging this

Dane, sent you an email regarding my size change to XXL as well for the true blue version... Let me know if you got it.

[rdane]

I have gotten something like 35 order changes ...
Hard to tell you if I have yours unless I have your email, order number and pay pal address. Pelican user name isn't a big help.

[geof33]

Dane,

Go ahead and email me: physique1@mindspring.com and that way I know for sure you got the correct info...

Thanks,

Geof

Dane, I missed the buy and now that the original threads are closed I can't find the link to the website. I'd like to get a jacket eventually myself - can you just tell me what the site is again? Thanks.

Dane, I'm not sure what you mean by "order number". I sent you a couple e-mails with my e-mail and paypal addresses. Is that enough?

[rdane]

It's done Dave...no worries.
