@SamD the wife was eyeballing this one for herself since I had ordered another jacket from ya Friday. Until she saw sleeve length
her T-Rex arms would look funny in these.If they stick around long enough one might just make it my way though.

Iron Heart Germany will also restock the Black one. -
Not sure if destiny was telling me not to buy this, because my browser suddenly decided to revoke all cookies and to quit on me 3 times in a row, but anyway, I insisted
Ordered an M, and asked for 1 with a smaller P2P if one exists. There were only 3 M's at launch, and thx for Firefox I was not the first order through apparently.
Crossing fingers :
I wont"t say I have never been excited for an item I bought, but here I really am

@ShopatIronHeart @goosehd @Mizmazzle
I ping you too guys goosehd/Mizmazzle since I know from the thread you have had the jacket for a few years, I hope I don't bother
I have trouble evaluating if the jacket is, lets say fitted, or on the borderline of small, because it's so heavy
I intend to wear this mostly with t-shirts + sweatshirts (first 2 pics) but probably sometimes with shirts too.What do you all think of the fit ? Will the jacket loosen over time ? For now it feels a bit like something I carry more than I wear
Shoulders are good and I can cross arms without restriction nor back tension, but it feels...well...heavy.
If it was denim, I would deem the fit near perfect for me, like a type3 should fit imo, but I'm all ears guys.
What do you think of the length ? It came a few mm shorter than advertised but not much.There aren't any "L" anyway that I could buy to compare, but I feel like it would be too big anyway (only length would be better imo)
Last pic is closed with the last season's slubby, and that feels a bit tight.
Sorry for all the pictures
with shirts:
-
@Slash no bother at all and glad to offer advice. I think the overall fit is very good and I would not size up as the shoulders and sleeves look spot on. Layered over the button up shirts and I say that the chest is perfect, over the t-shirt and it’s a little large, but not overly so.
As to loosening up, it will shape to you with time and wear. It will not stretch, but more shape to your body.
From my perspective, it’s a keeper, but you ultimately need to be comfortable. If you’re not, you will not wear it in the long run.
What do you think?

@Slash @goosehd Totally agree with all points mentioned, certainly looks like a keeper. Objectively the jacket appears to fit as well as one can hope, but as mentioned, you want to be comfortable which only you will be able to definitively know, but fit looks great layered over just a tee or a shirt!
