Fit Check Thread for Jackets

Could you share new pictures then?

Looking at the ones you've posted, I would had said that's your best size without going custom, as I think the shoulders, length and sleeves are the right size but the body could use a bigger size (Edit: Maybe not? The back picture doesn't look as tight as it looks in the front). If you've lost weight and keep doing it, it can become a perfect fit but also potentially end up being too big

I aim to get there again next week sometime to revise the fitting situation.

Thank you all for the advice, I really like the jacket and I suppose I am after reassurance before spending that amount of money.

Hey guys, I have recently sold an M filson jacket I found too large for my liking and replaced it with a brand new size small I managed to grab.
im sharing my experiences because not being able to try one it took some trial and error.
first of all filson enthusiasts seem to have different standards when it comes to fit. They seem to be the type of people who like to wear oversized pieces so I first followed their statments That this model short cruiser runs small by opposed to some other models of the brand.
being 5.10, 165lbs, with a not so wide chest 38 inch and not so broad shoulders 45cm, the M with a 45inch chest was too roomy and didn’t like the drapes it made : few photos there https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/filson-roughout-fit-check.116696/
the sleeves where also too long, it made only sense when I layer a lot but it’s more a piece I intend to wear surin mid season. I’ve already got a schott b3 for winters, or other wool jackets.
so I pulled the trigger and bought a s without trying. At some point I was considering mine tailored but chickened out that I wouldn’t be done right, it was a lot of tailoring To be done.

so here is my new filson worn above a heavy flannel shirt From iron heart.
i can closed it easily and while it’s stiffer than the M one, it feels there is more room for a mid weight hoody.
its more fitted, shorter, I feel true to what a trucker jacket is like.
allow me to share a few pics.
oh and I forgot the chest is 21 inch and a quarter. So on the paper it leaves 42.5 minus 38 = 4.5 inch of room to layer a bit. what do you think of the fit?
donno if this helps anyone. Cheers

I have had this Vanson Ike for a few years and have never worn it. Thoughts on the fit and if the jacket is a flattering cut on me? Looking at my pictures I definitely prefer it open to zipped.

It definitely looks cool open.

No expert by any stretch of the imagination. Looks ok to me
