G1 Fit check

[markjaguar]

Hi all. Just got my Cockpit goatskin G1 z2108 and it's a trim fit so they said go a size up. I'm 5'9" 190-195lbs with a 45 cest. The jacket is a 48. I've got a long torso so it fits well while standing but rides up when sitting with it zipped. I suppose it might just need a break in? Any way what do you think? Keep it or go with a better fit?

Whilst I don’t own a G1 or any flight jackets, it looks to me the back has too much material especially around the waist, when zipped up. The front looks totally fine though.

I had the same thought about the back being too baggy.

If not too late to return/exchange it, I’d suggest trying to swap it with size 44. If that turns out to be terribly snug, then exchange to 46. The jacket you have now looks like 2 sizes larger on the back.

Yes if you can go down one size I think that would be a better fit for you.

The sleeves are too long and the overall jacket is too big for you

I agree that a 44 would be the one to try first.
The 48 does look to be 2 sizes too big, both in width and length, hence the baggy back and bunching up around the waist. Also, the sleeves appear too long with the elasticated cuffs only just visible and they could be a couple of inches shorter.
