Fit Check Thread for Jackets

[Pandemic]

Hi everyone,
It's been a bit since I've been on here, but I needed some advice on some of my old favorites. I'm apparently getting wider as I get older, and with tastes changing I'm starting to think that maybe these three don't fit as well as they used to (or never did?). I reckon I just need a third party to tell me that it's time to put these on eBay. Help a brother out.

I've got an old N1 from the 50s that is starting to get real tight at the arms.
My Aero Premier feels like it's too short and looks ridiculous.
Also, my Thedi shawl collar is now relegated to "t-shirts only" underneath.

Let's hear it!

All three are great jackets - just not a great fit on you. If you list them here, the will sell. And raise money to buy one of two jackets to replace them with a more comfortable fit.

I’m in a similar boat. My weight hasn’t changed but I’m increasingly wanting more comfort and ‘room to move’ in my clothes. I’ve sold off quite a few things and gone for less fitted outerwear- not baggy, but also not an ‘Instagram fit’.

My opinion is they are about 1 size too small.

Uuuuuugh. Thank you. It confirms what I've been thinking, but I'm just in denial. Rough when you really like something but it isn't going to work no matter how much you want it to

I feel this one. I have way less tolerance for restricted movement in my clothes anymore. I look at pictures of myself from around 2011 and wonder how I managed the slim/skinny fit era.

How does this blue plaid Pendleton fit? And how does this white CPO fit? How do they compare?

Blue is ‘sleeves rolled up’ mode only - otherwise they are way too short. The body is also short, but I don’t mind that.

Yeah I was visiting my parents this weekend and my mom commented it was a bit small. This one is for the farm lol.

What do you guys think about this jacket?

Definitely too short. You could pass with the sleeve length but it is a tad short too but the jacket length is noticeably short. It will be very noticeable when bending and the back or raising your arms, it’ll ride up. The shoulder and chest seem more OK

You are referring to this navy bomber jacket correct, not the wool shirts?

Blue shirt too small, white too big.

How about this tanker

Cut the sleeves off the blue one and ditch the undershirt to make it a summer shirt. The white one is too big.

 

[dinhnguyen57]

Yes, the navy blue bomber jacket.

The blue shirt is too small.

The white shirt is fine.

the green tanker jacket is fine.

Perfect! I know a lot of people think the white shirt is a little to big, but in the Midwest that is the style, plus I could always wear it over a sweater like they show in the Mr. Freedom promo. Looks like the navy bomber is going to my friend. Thanks for the feedback!

How about this tanker

I think that's good.

You need to try other shirts.

Hi

am I crazy for considering selling this RC Herc for a MF Campus jacket? I really thought I’d found my grail jacket last year, with this one. The leather is beautiful, the Herc design is a classic and the fit is great, standing in a tshirt.

It does feel a tad tight when driving and lifting my arms. The fit is a more modern Japanese style - slim shoulders and chest, which works for me but may not be that flattering. The length is good for untucked t-shirts but as you can see it looks long on me with high waisted jeans and a tucked shirt.

I’m faced with the same dilemma, jackets that looked just right suddenly appear too long with high waisted pants. How does it look zipped?
