My new MF Campus Stallion jacket

carl_c · Sep 2, 2020

Just had it for about 2 weeks, what do you guys think about the fit? To my taste, it would be better if the sleeves were 0.5 to 1 inch shorter, and the body width were half to one size narrower. But for a smaller size, the body length would be too short, especially when I wear a low rise pants.

Sleeves look fine to me, body is a bit too big on you.

Looks great to me. Don't think this style should be too trim.

Looks good with what I can see in these photos. Fit photos with your shirt tucked in are a lot easier to tell the proper fit of any jacket. Think of it like a suit. Very nice pattern in that jacket.

EXACTLY ...

As of late, I dig the relaxed fit. Looks good

Beautiful Campus jacket! Sleeve length is perfect and body looks still good - some people prefer tighter fit some prefer loose fit and IMO you're in between. But if you don't feel comfortable wearing the jacket, it's probably not a "keeper". I like it and would keep it if I was you. Anyway, congrats!

What size did you go for here? And how tall are you, if you don't mind me asking?

Does anyone have any experience of this jacket over time? I know that the 'natural' version tends to shrink a bit, but I guess that's less likely to be the case for the Stallion?

Yes, the body slightly too big to my taste, but not a big problem.

Yes, that's what I told myself when I decided to keep it.

Thanks, for any ready-to-wear jacket, you can rarely find a 'perfect' fit for you, even for customized ones you may find something unexpected.

It's size 38, I'm 5'9''. I think the natrual version will only shrink if you soak it, and I guess if you soak the stallion version, it will shrink as well, you can confirm with MF staffs, but they will suggest you not to soak the jacket since the shrinkage is unknown.

I think for this style this size looks spot on. I like it with a slightly more relaxed fit as you have. You’re not wearing skinny jeans and a tight jacket wouldn’t go in my personal opinion.

Great jacket. Love it.

Sleeve length is ideal to me, body width i kinda agree with your assesment.

diabel · Sep 2, 2020

Sleeves look perfect. I think a shrunken jacket look is a bit passe. So if you want to be trendy, the body being a bit large is just right. If you want to be a traditionalist and like more fitted body style, then just find a good tailor and have the sides taken in a bit. Otherwise the jacket looks good!

navetsea · Sep 2, 2020

Looking at the photo again, the hem of the jacket is halfway down your fly, and covering your back pocket opening, if you like shorter sleeve, then a size smaller sounds ideal for you. But this look also looks great on you, looks cool worn open, perhaps a shorter and smaller jacket while looking sharp fully or half buttonned but wont look as cool worn open.

Forgive the off-topic question, but do you mind saying where the pants are from?

I agree with Navetsea, sleeves are long enough to be 0.5" shorter, shoulders hang off, and the back ends halfway down your back pockets which IMO is too long.
If you have a way to try a size below that one i would give it a go. To me it looks a bit big.
