Fit Check Thread for Jackets

[Zoro]

I can move quite well. If I compare it with my Vanson jackets, I would say that the Vansons allow better mobility due to the gusseted back, but it is easier to move in the Aero as the leather isn't as stiff, so it is quite comfortable (at least in the 15ish minutes I had it on at home).

Quick pic zipping the cuffs (excuse the sports shorts), it doesn't alter the mobility although the left sleeve does push down a bit on the watch (which also pushes the sleeve upwards).

That looks just right. I have a few jackets where the watch and sleeve get in the way of one another no matter how the sleeve is fastened.

Looks good. If it also feels good, it is a winner.

I sometimes have watch/cuff clashes with my riding jackets, as they tend to have snugger cuffs than my casual jackets.

So I just either put on a slimmer watch or just don't wear a watch.

Doesn't everybody do this?

It doesn't matter when I'm rushing anyway as the last thing I'm looking at is my watch.

I really only have a watch as I rather the smart features instead and while I aesthetically see it doesn't look as nice, it doesn't really bother me that it clashes with the sleeve. Perhaps I don't fully zip that cuff and that's it.

Fit question…I decided to dress up for the office today without going full suit. This Todd Snyder sport coat is one of my favorites.

I had it tailored in at the waist non-aggressively to clean up the fit a few years ago before having kids. Now I’m about 15-20 lbs heavier and it feels a little snug now. However I can still button it and move my arms around. It just doesn’t feel as comfortable. My goal over this summer is to shed about 10lbs.

Can I get someone’s opinions of how it looks? Can I wear it as is or does it pull enough to warrant having my tailor let the waist out a little bit? View attachment 788174 View attachment 788176 View attachment 788178 View attachment 788180 View attachment 788180

Fits good. Just right

Received my customized Aero premier Halfbelt in brown Vincenza HH today. My first jacket was a original Highwayman in size 44 that always was a bit too big in every dimension and didn't fit my ) (-shaped torso all that well.
This Halfbelt is a heavily modified size 44 again with 1 Inch added across the shoulders and 2 inch subtracted across the hem to avoid the wide flare this cut tends to have in my eyes.
The back-length was also shortened to 25,5 Inch despite me being 6'7, as I have a short torso and I prefer vintage-y jackets to hit roughly at belt level.
The back is modified into a multi panel design to get more out of the cream contrast stitching
I have to say I really quite happy with how it turned out even if it's not perfect - my natural waist (belly button height) is very slim and the Aero halfbelts are still rather boxy by design, even the Premier. Personally, I don't think I could consciously improve the fit that much even if I had the chance for a remake.

Cool

@Zoro Looks great if you like the sleeve lenght. For me that would be a deal breaker in this case.
