Ordered this one a size larger inorder to wear a sweater or hoody under it. View attachment 680873

It fits perfectly

What do you guys think of the fit of these? I honestly feel pretty good about all of them.

All look good to me, except perhaps that kimono. My biggest tip though would be a tucked in shirt looks a lot better with high waisted trousers

The denim can be shrunk if I soak it in water

Ah the 1940 Army Denim Work Coat! It’s from Sugar Cane denim so I think if you wash it will shrink

I am wondering though what will happen if I was this Sugar Cane Chore Coat:

If you were the coat you probably wouldn’t wonder too much.

Sorry, it’s Friday…

Out of curiosity, why did you guys how with Iron Heart over Real McCoys for your deck jacket? What are the differences if any that you prefer if you have tried on both.

Also what is your favorite color for the Iron Heart Jacket?

I love this 80s 125, but occasionally get the nagging feeling that 38 is a size too large and what I really need is a 36 (which crop up affordably never!).

Should I continue the search?

I think it looks great with the 38 tbh, doesn't look to big really and always nice to be able to layer with it!

But I also think the 36 would look amazing on you, but different strokes so follow your gut mate and think how you want to use the jacket(just a t-shirt, or be able to layer something like in the pic).

If it was up to me I would be super happy with how that 38 fits, and don't have any rush to move it along
My two cents

Why do you want to keep looking? It's fine the way it is.

The jacket fits perfectly. Size 36 will be too small for you

Alright I’m sold! Sometimes it’s good to be reminded that whilst “slightly tight” is often a deal-breaker, “slightly loose” is often undetectable to anyone other than the wearer. It’s probably not a T shirt fit, but I’m usually in denim by the time it’s T shirt weather anyway…

What I came to realize after almost 30 years of wearing leather jackets (and around 15 of wearing quality leather jackets) is that a looser fit is better - unless you're a super fit guy that works out daily; I agree it doesn't look as perfect in photo's as a tight fit does, but it is far more comfortable, it allows for layering and accommodates small changes in weight.

Eastman Flyweight Irvin came in, I wanted an Irvin for quite some time but couldn't justify having more than one super heavy shearling jacket next to the B-3.
Went with a 48 (B-3 is 46) this time for more room to layer and an overall relaxed fit.
Length wise, a 46Long would work too but I fear it'll be to tight in the end.
I like the crazed finish for now but that might change tbh.

that's nice. I used to own an Aero B3 but I found it really impractical; too bulky and warm, I only used it max. 2-3 days per year, no pockets and god forbid if I got caught in rain or snow, it was like being hugged by a wet Labrador.
