Anyone have a Double Helix and Mister Freedom jacket?

Hey all,

I have a MF Campus, size 44, fits great. I want to order a jacket from Double Helix Works and based on the time/ability to return I really want to get the fit right.

The MF site lists the 44 as having a 24" chest, but when I measure mine I keep getting 22". I cant decide if I should go off the listed measurements, and get a DH in size 46 (24" chest) or go down to a 44 (23.35").

Anyone have experience with both that could guide me? 20260820_092743.jpg

Use your actual jacket measurements. Makers like mf that do several runs can have variations in sizing. Having 3 dh jackets in my experience their listed sizing numbers are correct. Most importantly bare in mind that a jackets pattern can have as much to do with fit as its numbers

Thanks! Agreed, definitely comes down to more than one measurement.

I've had a couple MF leather jackets in my hands and I've found the measurements can be a bit off compared to the size chart on the site. Mine have been on the smaller side, but it could change depending on the run as mentioned above.

Thanks! Gives me the confidence to trust my own measurements. Thought I was going crazy thinking trying to find another inch on the measurements.

Ok pulled the trigger on two. Going 44 and 46 with one intended to be slightly looser.
