Highwayman fit jacket pics -- looking for feedback.

Beautiful colour. Like a freshly-opened conker.

Too big and baggy! I'd go with a size 38!

Don't want it any tighter. Plus, it's already bought and done.

Hi Randy,

This looks awesome! Can we use the above photo for our Instagram today?

Sure! No issue at all, thanks Carrie...
As far as the fit, I have a much more snug Café Racer that really only fits with a t-shirt underneath. In Iowa we need just a little more room for layers most of the year. So we typically prefer a slightly looser fit. Thanks

I'm with you on this one and wouldn't want a tighter fit for a HWM. Good score.

Thanks guys. Yes, I agree that it seems big. But here's my issue: It's big around the torso in general, with a fair amount of extra, unneeded volume. But it has a feature that I've experience before with Aeros, that the front panel seems small compared to the rest of the jacket. So, when zipped it stretches tight across the chest, and I feel like I can't move my arms freely, even though there is plenty of room in the jacket. You can sort of see what I mean in the fourth picture down, with the jacket zipped and arms up (and it would be worse if I had zipped it up all the way). Not sure anything can be done about that, but I am afraid that with a 38 it would only be exacerbated, even if the rest of the jacket fit well.

I had the exact same problem with my Highwayman. Too tight in the chest, but plenty of room in the back. Eventually I was able to stretch the chest and now have a good fit.

As others have said, work with Carrie on this. She is very good at what she does.

Looks perfect Randy! That's exactly how a hwymn should fit! Now we need to shake off these 90 degree late summer Midwestern heat blasts.

I think it's ace.

 

[jacketjunkie]

Fit is good! It's no way too baggy, in fact I wear mine much bigger and wider, so don't worry!

 

[Monitor]

Yeah, it's the tightest I've seen this jacket fits.

That jacket looks great. I am always amazed at how much of a color change there is between snapping a photo inside and when you are outside on a cloudless day. The fit looks spot on. But I don't like tight fitting jackets. Just my $.02.

Easily a size too big. Here's mine:

It's a 36, it's a boxy fit, so it'll never be a slim look, but dammit, it's cool.

Hi Sloan:

Is the color of your Highwayman cordovan or cherry?

Thanks
