Freewheelers Caboose Jacket

[willyto]

So, does this jacket fit properly now?
You've been changing your body shape.
Any fit pics?

I only ask because I believe that these jackets are patterned for the average Japanese body shape, and I'm interested to know how this worked out. Research and all that.

I've been watching shots on his Instagram story and it does look great but in my opinion the sleeves are still very long for my taste.

@willyto,

That's gratifying to hear.
For years I thought I'd never wear a BR jacket because of my size, but I slimmed down and now I can.

Trying to work my way into one myself. Buzz was the first Japanese brand to ever get my attention (and I’m not a flight jacket or military guy).

Here's how it fit on the very last day of the trip. This is layered over a denim jacket and with gloves, but you get the idea. It's quite comfortable now, but the sleeves are still long. Maybe I will care in the future, but it doesn't bother me right now. Hot damn I adore this jacket.

@ton312, good for you! All my pre-weight loss jackets are WWII reproductions, so going down a size hasn't really bothered me; wartime 'fit' was all over the place anyway.
I really coveted that BR nylon for so long.

@dudewuttheheck, it's a good looking jacket. You must be very satisfied. What trip did you go on?

Very satisfied. It's the jacket I wear most often now.

We went to Tokyo, Kyoto, then back to Tokyo again.
