    I think the length is pretty good as is... not short at all

    Starting to realize I like the placement of these sleeve zippers. Very eye-catching. Great fit!

    Concern about Buco J-24 Sizing

    6’7” with 42” chest sounds more like it’s in custom job territory. You’ll most likely find the RMC to be too short in both body and sleeve length.

    Which One Fits Better?

    The second one fits you better in the chest and shoulders but blows up at the waist - unfortunately making you resemble a snowman. While the first one is slightly oversized, it looks more proportional and is the better fit imo

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    @Monitor did a really good illustration of how a seam can influence the shape of the back. The key is the shape of the pieces being connected. If you just connected 2 straight edges together, then yeah it doesn’t do shit lol

    Yeah, I get the Black Mass & Vanson connection, but Whitey Bulger just isn't doing it for me... must be an off day

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's a good idea, especially if the color is close to the jacket's color. I've got one that's a little short in terms of sleeve length. But fortunately it comes with black storm cuffs which makes the sleeves look fine imo. It's a little more visible on the right sleeve below.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It looks pretty good overall. The sleeve length to me is at the borderline. Any shorter and I probably wouldn't like wearing it. Most on here prefer longer sleeves though. (around the base of the thumb) I think when you say too much room in the upper arms, seems like you're mostly referring to...

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    Don’t blame you. Jacket looks very nice otherwise. Hope Grailed comes through for you on this one.

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    Sheesh... that stitching is trash Not trying to say the seller wasn't misleading, but if they were vague about arm length and wouldn't provide a pic of the measurement, that's a big red flag. And you could have saved yourself the headache and disappointment you have to go through now. All I...

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    That's unfortunate, definitely a big difference in the sleeve length between the black and brown jackets. I have no idea if the seller was insisting it was unaltered due to ignorance or intention. But to reiterate from earlier, if I was spending FW $$$, I would definitely have asked for pics of...

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    That's too bad - I understand that you already have a caboose in 40 that fit fine and that you probably didn't feel the need to confirm measurements with the seller. However, that should be the first step before buying - you never know what modifications the jacket has been through.

    Why compare? Can’t go wrong with either :)
