Fit Check Thread for Jackets

[WolfofStateSt]

The roughout shacket is short in the sleeves. But the big thing is that the sleeve opening is too wide for that rock star look. You could have it tailored and tighten at the wrist, but that's additional work and it's probably easier to just move it on.

The N-3A/N-3B in size Medium do have 35.5" nape sleeve length, but they wear shorter probably because the shrinking wool felt interlining and the knit cuff. However, when it comes to military clothing, I am much less critical about lengths or fit. As long as it's comfortable it's wearable.

The Ironheart pattern fit you very well. Stick with that and you don't have to worry about fit.

Yeah I might not even need a parka

I am a 19.5 in the shoulders but my sleeve measurements are usually 26, 27, 28. The suede jacket I posted yesterday was a 24 in the sleeves.

I have 17 " shoulder and 25.5" sleeve.
Ironheart works best in the non-custom world. Stick with that brand since it fits you. They have plenty of nice things to choose from.

There is something about the feel of their jackets, I love Real McCoys, but Iron Heart just feels so much heftier in hand, hard to describe.

I share the fate of the long arms. 19.5" shoulders, 28" sleeves are ideal. In a pinch, I'll also accept 27" lol

I wonder which brand would make an N3A for my body type?

My leather jackets are all made to measure. My fabric jackets (M-65, M-51, N-1) are from Helikon Tex, Brandit, Pike Brothers and Mil-Tec. I would also like the sleeves to be a bit longer, but it's just about acceptable.
