Two similarish jackets. Which would you guys keep?

I like the design and length of the first one(tho both fits you amazing imo), so that would be my personal choice

First fits you better, but personally not sold on the bottom pocket placement or neck strap.

Second one is not a flattering fit on you, looks just a bit too loose.

First

First has a runny nipples look lol. I'd keep neither personally.

Vintage schott cafe racer. How is the sizing?

The angle of the photo isn’t great, try standing further away from the camera.

My suspicion is that it is too big in the shoulders, but can’t say for certain without clearer photos

 

[TartuWolf]

Yup, poor photos make it hard to evaluate, but the thing that stands out first are the shoulders.

Just picked up my new ELC B3 .50Cal in a 46.

Sized up from my original B3 in a 44 (For sale on here now) as although it looked great on it just didn’t feel good… just too restrictive.

So here is my 46.. looks bigger obviously but actually I enjoy wearing this.. what a piece of art! In an ideal world a 45 would be the perfect size but hey ho!

What’s your thoughts on the fit?

Time to bring this thread back to the first page so newbies will know it exists and post their fit check questions here. No good being inundated with fit questions on the main board. PC

Amen to that Peacoat!!
Too bad it doesn’t say jackets in the title.
That would help!

Excellent!

Can it be stickied to the top so it's always visible?

In another thread I explained that if I stickied all the worthy threads I have been requested to sticky in the past 5 years, the entire first page would be all stickies. That wouldn't work.

@AbbaDatDeHat Thanks for the suggestion; I will take care of it. PC

Note by Peacoat: This member is interested in how the jacket fits and the length of the sleeves. His question was in the title of the thread, and when I merged the thread from General Attire, the title was lost.

I'm going to move this to the Fit Check thread in Outerwear where you should get a better response.

in the the future it is probably better to post your images in the body of your message rather than as links. Makes it easier on everyone to see them and comment. PC

Now that the thread has been moved, my opinion is that it is a good fit through the shoulders, but it is much too large in the body, and the sleeves are too long. Having long arms, I am sensitive to sleeve length, but even this length would be too long for me.

You need to size down at least one size, and perhaps two sizes, being mindful of losing width in the shoulders.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

I think there is small detail I should have mentioned. I’m doing some bodybuilding, basically bulk and cut phase and now this is the last week I’m slimming and I got down from 100kg to 92 and I’ll start to get bigger again.


I think the correct question would be is absolutely ridiculous to go out like that, is it funny too big? Because soon I will increase in size too.

You won't increase in size through the waist area, and that is where it is too big.

True, but I will increase in chest and shoulders, then it may become too tight there .

Maybe that cut is just not for me …

Bump to main page.

Badalassi Hooch Hauler - I'm blown away by this jacket, and therefore a bit blind to any fit issues - but the back came in almost a full inch shorter than requested, so I'm discussing options with Thurston Bros. In the event Aero will remake the jacket, I have a dilemma...

At the current length the hem is perfect, it just fits over my belt without catching, but I'm having difficulty dialing in the length, because if it gets much longer, the hem mill need to be wider. (I realize this could be addressed with high-rise jeans, but other than this mid-rise pair, all my other jean are low-rise)

Here are a bunch of photos, the last one compares the length my J106.

Ideally, where should the front hit, and do you see other fit areas to address?
