Fit Check Thread for Jackets

It’s definitely to be sized down , how much ?

It looks like you need to look at a different model. Jacket does not look overly big in the shoulders but hilariously big in the waist/ hem section. If you size down enough to fit well in the waist, it looks like it might be too tight up top.

That’s odd it is supposed to be a slim fit 626 perfecto that is for v shape

Im also a bodybuilder I don’t b have the smallest body.

2xl vs xl cuts 4cm both in pit to pit and hem lay flat .

Double Helix A-1 from a fellow lounger came in. I like how it fits for the most part but wonder about the extra room in the back around my waist. It was even blobbier yesterday, so perhaps it just needs time.

I’m a fairly athletic build; 19” shoulders, 40” chest, 31-32” waist. I’ve found that I usually like an extra inch of room in the P2P for these “potato sack” style flight jackets (23” vs a 21.5-22” in something with mobility features).

The missus says it looks good and that not every jacket needs to fit trim, but I’d like some more opinions from the lounge as well.

Hey everyone,

First post here so pardon any mistakes. Recently picked up this 1950s Sears Hercules horsehide jacket (dark brown, lots of wear and patina, Talon hardware, 4-pocket layout) and wanted to run it by y'all for a fit check and some thoughts on whether it's a keeper.

A few concerns:
- it's comfortable when unzipped but when I raise my arms, it feels a bit snug around the shoulders and chest
- I wonder if the sleeves could be a tad bit shorter
- I wonder if the back length is a bit too short

Would love to get your thoughts:
- How do you feel about the overall length and proportions on my frame?
- Does the back length look right for this era/style?
- Definitive keeper, or should I hold out for something slightly longer/roomier?

I'm 175 lbs, 5'10 and the jacket measurements are as follows:
- P2P approximately 21”
- Length approximately 23”

Appreciate any insight or advice!

personally I think this fits amazing, like I'm jealous of how well it fits you.


The front zippers hangs nicely parallel when unzipped, the sleeves hit the right spot, and the back looks good too.

Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome fit! I wouldn't even think about it, just wear that jacket. Very nice fit and just looks great on you sir.

Also just very good to see a younger person linking a historic leather jacket. Really cool and enjoy wearing that Hercules.

Fantastic jacket. Back length looks great to me and I definitely wouldn't want shorter sleeves. If it's comfortable then I'd say you have a keeper.

Same as above. Perfect fit. Keep it!
