Fit Check Thread for Jackets

Nailed it. Once you move around in it it'll hang smoother and be more flexible.

I appreciate it. I’m very happy with it. Ill post some updates once I spend some time in it. I’m still on the fence about the plain nickel snaps though. They are growing on me but I still love the branded ones a tad bit more. I’m gonna give it some time and reevaluate it in a few months.

Thanks, it definitely is a bit snug but I was hesitant to go up a size due to the sleeves and back length going up too. This thing is beautiful though. I’m really impressed with this one. It is basically flawless. Haven’t spotted any stitching issues or loose threads. The leather is just lovely and already has some beautiful grain. Can’t wait to see how it develops over time. It took me three attempts to find one without issues but I think this is the one!

Yeah I think a size up would get a bit to big in the sleeves, shoulders and so on so I'd say you nailed the sizing

It's a gorgeous jacket(and a real classic model!) that will age amazing, please keep us updated how it ages mate!

Cheers

Howdy y’all! I finally got my exchange done with Schott and received a jacket free of issues that I want to keep and wanted to get you fine folks opinions about the fit. It feels good to me. It’s a little tight but I can still move fine and get it zipped with my thickest sweater. Also after taking these photos I realize these jeans don’t fit me the best and would love some cheap recommendations around $50. I always have issues finding jeans that are just right. My legs are too muscular for slim fit which these are but straight fit tend to be too baggy. I’d ideally have them slim but not cling to me like these do and fit well in the seat. All that is to say I know the jeans don’t look the best.

The Jacket is a 44 which is my chest size and my typical suit size. Ill almost always be rocking this thing with a tank top as it hardly gets cold enough to layer here in Memphis.

P.s. I have some enamel pins I’d like to put on the jacket but can’t bring myself to poke a hole in this thing. So, I am trying to find a solution perhaps using neodymium magnets. If you have any thoughts or ideas about this please let me know! Thanks again for all the help you folks have provided thus far! Cheers!

P.p.s. Thanks for the merger benevolent mod! I didn’t think to check for an aggregate thread.

Looks great - fits great. What Schott number is that?

The fit is good! You don't want a loose fit if you plan to wear just a tank top under. I would recommend a second jacket with more chest room for layering.
