Fit Check Thread for Jackets

[Bennarion]

Thanks to a fellow lounger today I received this LW SD - it’s a beast of a jacket and finally I’ve got my hands on a LW!

This is supposed to be a winter jacket with a fleece layered under - size 42 for my size 40 chest. I tried it on with just a t-shirt and the fit is not too bad - so potentially a spring and autumn jacket too!

The sleeves are a tad long without layering - but I think it’s better to have sleeves that are too long than too short!!

The hem is perfect for a big belt buckle and it looks like I can even zip in my Samurai belt buckle.

What do you think guys? I purposely got a size 42 as don’t want it to ‘wardrobe compete’ with my aero KotR which is my summer jacket. I’m a single minded person - want there to be just 1 jacket to reach out to at any given time in a year.

As usual - don’t mind the shorts!

It looks cool

Also, after years of pathologically oversizing my sleeves (I'm 6'7 and super burned by too-short sleeves from off the rack jackets), I found the courage to spec them to where I like them best on others - slightly below the wrist. It "feels" too short out of habit but I lm very happy with how they look.

I know that nagging doubt of sleeves feeling to be too short but actually fitting just perfectly.
Like you I realised that the fit and length I preferred on others was just below the wrist, and that is now what I aim for.

As others have noted it seems a fine jacket but appears to be a bit on the large side when worn with just a t-shirt.
If the jacket has been sized to allow for layering a better idea of fit could be gained if it was possible to see a few photos of it being worn with a fleece or whatever else you intend to layer with.

I got this OG 107 Cotton Sateen shirt as a light outer layer for this Summer. I think it fits, but I want a second opinion.

seems to be a reasonable fit.

Glad to hear I'm not alone.
A weird side effect of wearing those heavy leather jackets is that it has legit helped me improve my posture. My FQHH jackets fit an feel great when I'm standing straight and "healthy" but look bad (especially in the sleeves) when I assume my usual office shrimp/rolled-in shoulders position.
Actually helped me to get rid of some lingering back pain caused by bad posture.
